The Orlando resorts with kids clubs worth booking in 2026 are a short list: Four Seasons Resort Orlando, the Waldorf Astoria and Signia pair in Bonnet Creek, the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott at Grande Lakes, JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek, the Walt Disney World Dolphin and Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. Each one runs a supervised, drop-off program for children, so you can book a spa treatment, a round of golf or a grown-up dinner while trained staff look after the kids.
Disney’s own children’s activity centers page now features only Camp Dolphin, at a hotel Disney doesn’t run; the current amenity pages for the two Loews hotels we checked at Universal don’t mention a supervised kids club; and several big family resorts list pool activities but no childcare. So we checked each program on the hotel’s official page: the ages it takes, the hours, the price and whether you need to reserve.
Programs and prices change often, so treat every number below as “at the time of writing” and confirm with the resort.
Quick answer: Four Seasons Resort Orlando is the only resort here with a complimentary full-day kids’ camp (ages 4 to 12). For a paid daytime club near Disney, book Waldorf Astoria Orlando or Signia by Hilton (ages 5 to 12). For evenings only, Camp Dolphin opens nightly from 3 pm to 10 pm, and Omni ChampionsGate runs a Friday and Saturday night program for ages 5 to 10.

How we chose these resorts
We only included resorts whose official website, at the time of writing, describes a supervised kids club or camp that you can leave your children at. Splash pads and poolside crafts don’t count unless staff take charge of the kids.
- A real drop-off program: named club, stated ages and a schedule on an official page.
- Verified details: ages, session times, prices and booking rules come from the resort’s own pages; where a price isn’t published, we say so.
- Location and transport: how far you are from Disney, Universal or SeaWorld, and whether there’s a shuttle.
- Value: whether the club is free, paid per session or charged by the hour, plus resort fees and parking.
We don’t use guest scores or star ratings. Rates vary by season, availability and how far ahead you book.

Older kids aren’t left out. The Hideout is a game room with the latest gaming systems, and the resort’s 2026 summer programming added teen takeovers there. On Saturday nights, Explorer Island Takeover lets kids 4 to 12 stay from 5 pm to 9 pm for a fee, listed from $125 per child at last check. The resort also lists Pasta and Play at Ravello, complimentary supervised activities after a family dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The first child costs $50 per session, a second $40 and each additional child in the same or an adjoining room $30. An hourly option is $20 per child, without lunch.
For evenings, the hotel lists Astoria After Dark, a supervised night of games and crafts on Fridays and Saturdays from 6 pm to 9 pm; no price is published, so ask.

Signia shares the same WA Kids Club (Signia’s page also calls it Waldy’s Kids Club), with the same ages, sessions and prices, and you can reserve by dialing 5388 from a house phone or online through the club’s booking page. The difference is what surrounds it: Signia is the bigger, busier family hotel of the pair, with a lazy river, a zero-entry lagoon-style pool and a waterslide.

The JW Marriott shares the Grande Lakes campus with the Ritz-Carlton, and the resort’s kids-program page lists Ritz Kids for both hotels. In other words, JW guests can book the same 4-to-12 program and the Friday and Saturday Kids Night Out; confirm when you reserve.
The bigger draw for families is the Grande Lakes Waterpark, added in a property-wide renovation at the JW. The Headwaters slide tower has three heated slides with height minimums of 48, 42 and 40 inches, and the JW pool and lazy river are open from 8 am to 10 pm.

6. JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa
This JW Marriott in Bonnet Creek is built around family time. The Hidden Garden Kids Club takes ages 5 to 12 with themed daily activities, and Marriott’s page for the resort says morning, afternoon, all-day and evening slots are available, with reservations required. The resort’s booking calendar for October 2026 showed two Friday and Saturday sessions: an afternoon program from 1 pm to 4 pm at $65 per child and Kids’ Night Out from 6 pm to 9 pm at $85 per child, with dinner, games, crafts and movies. A 20% service charge and sales tax are added.
Marriott also lists a complimentary Kids Conservatory with a sensory corner, a kids and teen activity center on the sixth floor, the Mount Chelonia rock wall and rooftop garden golf.

7. Walt Disney World Dolphin
Camp Dolphin is a drop-off kids club right in the EPCOT resort area. It’s on the lower level of the Dolphin, next to the health club, and takes ages 5 to 12 who are potty-trained. The hotel lists it as open nightly from 3 pm to 10 pm, and reservations are required for the evening program. Disney’s own Camp Dolphin page shows different hours, so confirm when you book.
The hotel’s child-service FAQ lists three options: an all-inclusive visit from 3 pm to 10 pm for $120, which covers up to seven hours, a kids’ dinner, an afternoon snack and a take-home craft; and two 2-hour sessions, 4 pm to 6 pm or 6 pm to 8 pm, for $60 each.

The cost is $20 plus tax per child per hour, dinner is complimentary if you drop off before 7 pm, space is limited and reservations are required. It’s for registered hotel guests only.
During the day, the resort’s 15 acres of recreation do the work: an 850-foot lazy river, what Omni calls Orlando’s only resort wave pool, a family pool with a 125-foot corkscrew slide and a kids pool with three slides (36-inch minimum). Read more in our Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate review.

Best for: Families with kids 5 to 10 who want a resort-heavy stay and one or two weekend date nights.

Family resorts that don’t list a kids club
Some big family resorts don’t list a supervised kids club on their official pages today. They can still be excellent for kids, but don’t book them expecting drop-off childcare.
- Disney-owned resorts: Disney’s children’s activity centers page now shows only Camp Dolphin. In January 2023, a planDisney panelist wrote that Disney’s children’s activity centers had all closed and suggested Kid’s Nite Out, an in-room babysitting service.
- Loews Portofino Bay and Loews Royal Pacific: Portofino Bay’s amenity page lists a children’s pool beside its beach pool, and Royal Pacific’s lists organized poolside activities for kids and a water play area. Neither mentions a supervised kids club.
- Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress: The resort’s activities page lists an 800,000-gallon lagoon pool with a splash pad and waterslide, a 24-foot climbing wall and an arcade, with no kids camp mentioned.
- Gaylord Palms and Orlando World Center Marriott: Marriott’s experiences pages for both feature their water parks (Cypress Springs and River Falls) and family activities, but don’t mention supervised childcare.
If a resort’s water park matters more than a kids club, see our list of the best Orlando hotels with water parks and waterslides.
How to choose an Orlando resort with a kids club
Match the club to your kids’ ages
Most clubs start at 5. If you have a 4-year-old, only Four Seasons and the Grande Lakes Ritz Kids program take them. Omni’s evening program stops at 10, and Camp Dolphin requires children to be potty-trained. Teens are mostly on their own: Four Seasons’ Hideout and the teen space at JW Bonnet Creek are the exceptions.
Decide whether you need days or evenings
If you want a spa morning or a round of golf, look at the daytime programs at Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria, Signia and Ritz Kids. If you mainly want one adult dinner, the evening programs at the Dolphin, Omni, Grande Lakes, JW Bonnet Creek, the Waldorf and Four Seasons will do.
Add up the real cost
Two kids in one Waldorf or Signia half-day session cost $90 ($50 plus $40), so a few sessions add up quickly, while Four Seasons’ daytime camp is included. Add each resort’s daily fee and parking, which can run well over $100 a night combined at some of these resorts. Rates vary by season, availability and how far ahead you book.
Think about the parks you’ll visit
For Disney, Four Seasons, Waldorf, Signia and the Dolphin all include Early Theme Park Entry. For Universal or SeaWorld, Grande Lakes has the most useful shuttle. For broader context, our best family-friendly hotels in Orlando guide covers options at every budget.
Frequently asked questions
Which Orlando resort has a free kids club?
Four Seasons Resort Orlando is the clear choice. The resort describes Kids For All Seasons as a complimentary kids’ camp with a full day of supervised fun for ages 4 to 12. Extras such as the Saturday evening Explorer Island Takeover cost more. Other clubs on this list charge per session or per hour, so confirm current terms before you travel.
Do Disney World resorts have kids clubs?
Not the Disney-owned resorts. Disney’s children’s activity centers page now shows only Camp Dolphin, and a planDisney panelist wrote in 2023 that Disney’s centers had closed, suggesting Kid’s Nite Out, an in-room babysitting service. On Disney property, the Walt Disney World Dolphin still runs Camp Dolphin for ages 5 to 12, and Four Seasons, also on Disney property, offers a free daytime kids’ camp.
What ages do Orlando hotel kids clubs accept?
Most take children from 5 to 12. Four Seasons and Ritz Kids at Grande Lakes start at 4, while Omni ChampionsGate’s evening program is for ages 5 to 10. Camp Dolphin requires children to be potty-trained, with no pull-ups. Teens usually get game rooms or activity spaces rather than a supervised club, so plan accordingly if you’re traveling with older kids.
Do Universal Orlando hotels have kids clubs?
Not that we could find. The current Loews amenity pages for Portofino Bay and Royal Pacific list a children’s pool, a water play area and poolside activities, but no supervised kids club. If drop-off childcare matters, stay at Grande Lakes, which runs Ritz Kids and has a resort shuttle to Universal, and ask the hotel to confirm before you book.
How much does a resort kids club cost in Orlando?
At the time of writing, prices range from free at Four Seasons to $20 per child per hour at Omni ChampionsGate and the Waldorf Astoria. Waldorf and Signia charge $50 for the first child per half-day session, Camp Dolphin is $60 for two hours or $120 for its all-inclusive evening, and JW Bonnet Creek lists $65 to $85 per child plus a 20% service charge. Ritz Kids doesn’t publish prices online.
Bottom line
If you want free, all-day childcare, book Four Seasons Resort Orlando. For a paid club next to a lazy river near Disney, choose Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. For flexible full-day, half-day and evening sessions with a water park on site, look at Grande Lakes. Whichever you pick, reserve kids club sessions as soon as you book, since several programs need 24 hours’ notice and space is limited. Check your dates at Four Seasons Resort Orlando.
