With a large portion of families living in Lake Mary, that are several great family-friendly activities in Lake Mary.

Universal CityWalk
Not to be confused with Universal Studios, Universal CityWalk has something for everyone. We’ve included it in the family-friendly section, but there are plenty of adult-only options in this area as well. It really has everything, including shopping, live entertainment, restaurants, bars, a movie theater, and even mini golf.
Lake Mary Heathrow Festival of the Arts

Spanning both Seminole and Lake Counties, visit Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park to take in the best of Central Florida’s scenery. With both Wekiva and St. John Rivers running through, visitors can enjoy fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, or stay on land for a hike or mountain bike ride.
Timacuan Golf Club
This wouldn’t be a Florida activity guide without a golf course recommendation. Timacuan is an 18-hole, par 72 course that is a favorite of Central Florida’s best golfers.
Lake Mary Top Golf
For the non-traditional golfer, try out Top Golf. In addition to bays set up with tees to test your golf swing, top golf also features a bar and restaurant.

Lake Mary Farmers Market
Every Saturday morning, local farmers and all kinds of businesses come together in the downtown area for a farmer's market. Bring the whole family and do your shopping for the week or just pick up a delicious local treat.
