Things to do around Orlando area OTHER than Disney

Leaving on December 29th, and heading to the Orlando area for 10 days. Traveling with kids, 5 year old and 10 month old. Any "must do" type things within 2 hours of Orlando, OTHER than Disney parks? ...

Hit the springs to see Manatees. Blue Springs or drive over to Crystal River area.
When it’s cooler they bunch up in the springs.

Canaveral Seashore if it opens up after the unnecessary shutdown. Lots of birds in the winter.

I detest it but everyone should do International Drive once.
