Children can roll up their sleeves for hands-on heritage crafts—including making authentic corn husk dolls, churning fresh cream into sweet butter, stamping vintage citrus crate labels, and weaving pine needle coasters. Families can explore five stories of air-conditioned interactive exhibits detailing Florida's First Nations, early cattle ranches, pioneer citrus groves, and aviation history. The facility features broad elevators accommodating double strollers, quiet family restrooms with diaper changing tables, and immediate outdoor access to Heritage Square park for relaxing lunches. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Mennello Museum Thanksgiving Weekend Family Sculpture Garden Stroll](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/mennello-museum-thanksgiving-weekend-family-sculpture-garden-stroll--listing-a1f45e216ac0c1a9eac4e4c7) — Nov 27 – Nov 29 · 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM · The Mennello Museum of American Folk Art · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
