Many parents may have the kids in summer camp during the summer.  If you're looking for affordable camps, the best deals can be found at your local city & county parks departments or local public schools.  Some parents have the entire summer to fill with activities or learning while others take a few weeks off during the summer so they can plan some quality time together.  Summer is a great time to finally get that Zoo, science center or children's museum membership when you'll be using it the most.  Many membership cards will work all across the US.  Another great site to check out is Florida Vacation Auction that has great weekly deals from attractions to hotels across the state.
