We are a group of 7 travelling to Orlando for 4 days.

Our group includes 3 seniors citizens (from overseas), and 2 toddlers, who can't/don't enjoy roller coasters.

We like going to aquariums, zoos, museums, natural sights (water falls etc.)

We actually like going to theme parks too, as long as there are other things to do there, than just go on roller coasters (otherwise it is just a waste of money).

Can you please suggest things to do...? Thanks!

Seaworld has many exhibits that both seniors and toddlers would like.
Also, check out the springs -- there are lots of them in Florida, and a couple are in the outskirts of Orlando -- Blue Spring State Park of Wekiva Springs State Park, you can rent a canoe, swim in the spring, walk many of the trails, go biking, or just picnic by the spring and enjoy the view. Toddlers can hang out on the playground. Just don't forget sunblock and mosquito-repellent. Kids will like Orlando Science Center. Gatorland might be an options, as well.

A cool nature spot is the Orlando Wetlands. You'll get a good bit of Florida style nature, it's free, lots of gators and other wildlife. As suggested the springs are a great spot as well. Depending on when you come Blue Springs may have manatees floating about. I recommend DeLeon Springs for a trip to the pancake house as well as a cool walk in the cypress swamps.

Take an airboat ride, visit Lake Eola park to take some nice pictures, stroll along Park Ave in Winter Park, Rock Springs is cool, EPCOT is really interesting theme park, Cape Canaveral is nearby, Cocao Beach.

Epcot would be a terrific park to enjoy, as would Magic Kingdom or even Animal Kingdom. There are plenty of activities for those who don't like the thrill rides. That's what makes Disney different from amusement parks. If you are going to do only one, I'd suggest Epcot.

Also the Epcot Food and Wine exhibition is currently there...if you have any foodies in the crowd, this is a must-do.
