If you're in Orlando and you're looking for attractions outside the big parks, then you need to get to know Icon Park.
Unmissable destination for those visiting the city, it was inaugurated in 2015 to offer a unique and diverse experience for tourists of all ages.
It is a true entertainment complex and offers a variety of activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy.
Your Ferris wheel – known as The Orlando Eye – is considered the city’s postcard as it stands out on the Orlando horizon with its 122 meters high, offering a panoramic glimpse of the city. You can't miss this icon once you get to town.
But she's just one of the park's attractions. Icon Park still has the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, a wax museum where visitors can pose alongside their favorite celebrities, from Hollywood stars to historical figures and famous characters.
Another popular attraction is the SEA LIFE Aquarium, where you can explore a fascinating underwater world full of sea creatures of all shapes and sizes. With interactive tanks, underwater tunnels and educational presentations, the aquarium offers an immersive and educational experience for the whole family.
The space also has a carousel, the Orlando Illusion Museum, train ride and various options of electronic games.
Bars and restaurants with live music
In addition to these main attractions, Icon Park also has a variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment options, making it a complete destination for you that is looking for other activities outside Disney or Universal.
There are about 16 restaurants, ranging from snacks to Mediterranean food, with options of bars with live music and cafés. The highlights are due to Outback, the Shake Shack cafeteria network and the Häagen-Daz ice cream shop. So there are options for every taste and every moment!
In addition to all these attractions, Icon Park also has several sporadic events and little shows that animate Orlando nights. So it's worth keeping an eye on their website (I'll leave the link below) and check the schedule during the period of your stay!
Icon Park is strategically located in the heart of International Drive, one of Orlando's main tourist areas.
Both the entrance to the park and the parking lot are free. You only pay for the attractions, whose tickets can be purchased by the site or even at the box office.
It is a complete tourist destination, full of fun, adventure and entertainment for the whole family. It's worth the visit!
