FamilyFest - A Free Family Friendly Event Dezerland Orlando

FamilyFest, the family friendly festival is returning to Orlando on Saturday, January 27, between 12 pm and 5pm, with FREE Admission, FREE Parking, and FREE Kids Activities.

Start the new year off right with a day full of family fun at the annual FamilyFest Orlando. The parenting expo will be more fun than ever for the whole family because it’s being hosted at Florida’s largest indoor attraction, Dezerland Park.

FamilyFest Orlando will take place at Dezerland on Saturday, January 27 from noon to 6 p.m. The annual event features dozens of displays with family resources promoting helpful parenting goods and services, along with the latest “mompreneur” products.

Attendees can check out a special exhibit from the Orlando Science Center, or take part in The Diaper Derby, a “crawling race” for babies 12 months and younger, a very popular tradition for all FamilyFest events, or the Toddler Derby, a walking or running race for toddlers 12 to 24 months. Other activities include corn hole, dance lessons, giant Jenga and the chance to win prizes like a bowling birthday party, a three-month family membership to the YMCA of Central Florida and more.

All adult FamilyFest attendees will receive an $80 value BOGO redemption card that can be used at Dezerland’s attractions including Jumpstart trampoline park, the Orlando Auto Museum and more.

Dezerland’s attractions are the perfect way to keep the family fun going after visiting the expo. Guests can take part in their friendly competition at nearly 20 indoor attractions, including Dezerland’s boutique bowling alley, indoor synthetic “ice” skating rink, the VR arena or on Florida's longest indoor karting track with three skill and speed levels.

Families can also explore Dezerland’s Orlando Auto Museum, which features more than 2,000 vehicles from around the world and take selfies with many vehicles made famous by television shows. And if visitors need a meal after all this exploration, they can stop by Dezerland’s food hall to sample cuisines from a variety of cultures.

Kids can attend FamilyFest for free and general admission tickets for adults can be purchased online ahead of time for $5 or $8 on the day of the event. A VIP package can be purchased online for $20 and offers guests in-and-out privileges at the Expo, four admission tickets and a digital copy of “Extraordinary Parenting: How To Raise Kids To Become Geniuses."
