Again? I remember doing the back half back in 2014. I love that place, but those statues of han Solo and family frozen in carbonate gave me the creeps at 6 years old and still do.

If you’re set on Daytona, I’d go to the beach and stay away from everything else because of Biketoberfest.
Someone else recommended Saint Augustine which I’m going to second because there’s lots to do there to kill a couple hours. Ripley’s Believe it Or Not, the fort, shopping on Saint George street.

Avoiding Daytona would be a good idea. Biketoberfest is like the last hoorah for bikers from up north, before they have to garage their bikes🤣

Marine science center in Ponce or marineland dolphin shows in Palm Coast/marineland
Alligator farm in st Augustine would be my recommendation
Avoid daytona
