The 50 best places to go out in Orlando

Disney Springs is one of my favorite places to go with my family and just enjoy a nice day out. It’s perfect for walking around, exploring all the shops, and grabbing a bite at one of the many great restaurants. There’s always something to see or do.... from live music to fun little spots to grab a drink and relax. It’s one of those places where you can go just to stroll, eat, shop, or simply hang out and have a good time. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a fun and relaxing family outing.

Easy to find parking on a Monday in November. It was nice to walk around and shop. Highlight was the Lego store for my son. The dragon in the pond made out legos is also impressive. Coco cola store was pretty cool too with an awesome rooftop bar. Don’t believe there was alcohol. Enjoyed walking by the lake and watching the car boat..Felt safe and with plenty of restrooms throughout.

⭐⭐ Disney Springs – The Magic Just Isn’t There Anymore Disney Springs is still a visually beautiful place — it looks great and has plenty of shops and restaurants to explore. However, beneath the polished exterior, you can tell that this area is in serious need of an update, both in appearance and in spirit. What used to feel magical and full of life now feels commercialized and drained of the charm that once made Disney so special. Every store and restaurant here seems to have one main focus — getting you to spend as much money as possible. Be prepared, because prices are high across the board, and unfortunately, the quality doesn’t always match what you’re paying for. It’s very much a “pay more, get less” experience these days. The attention to detail, customer care, and genuine friendliness that Disney was once known for are noticeably lacking. What’s most disappointing is the atmosphere among the staff. You can sense that many of them are just going through the motions — there’s no spark, no enthusiasm, no warmth like there used to be. Whether it’s management, new policies, or overall burnout, something’s clearly changed. The experience no longer feels magical; instead, it feels transactional — like the priority is your wallet, not your experience. It’s honestly sad to see what Disney Springs has become. This used to be a place that radiated happiness and excitement, where every visit felt special. Now, it feels more like just another overpriced shopping area with a famous name attached to it. Overall, Disney Springs is okay if you’re just looking to walk around or grab a bite to eat, but don’t expect the same magic or customer service that Disney was once known for. Be ready to spend a lot — and get a lot less in return.

Absolutely love Disney Springs! Such a beautiful and vibrant place perfect for families of all ages. Every evening there’s live music on several stages, great energy, and something fun for everyone. So many shops, art studios, restaurants, and cafés with live bands. The Cirque du Soleil show is world-class truly spectacular! 🎪 Even the free multi-level parking garages have cute names like Orange, Lime, and Grapefruit 🍊🍋 everything here feels special. It’s one of those places where you can walk for hours, enjoy the atmosphere, and always discover something new. Highly recommend visiting! 🌟

I knew it was big but didn't expect that big. As someone with mobility issues I had a hard time and it prevented me from fully enjoying myself. I wish I had the ability to rent a scooter but that's on me. I did ask someone and she informed me ecv rentals are $65 with a refundable $100 deposit. Noted for next time. Lots of fun selfie spots. We really wanted to get the paint your own cookies but they weren't available anymore. The birria quesadilla from 4r cantina was out of this world!!

If you are looking to shop, grab a bite, or just browse around. This is a great place to meet friends and family for an easy half day of adventure. I really appreciate the parking and convenience of getting into the shopping center.

Tons of Disney shopping, food, drinks, and still have tons of cool displays. More fun for the parents to walk through at night, and a fun spot to have a cool dining experience. I love planet Hollywood to eat at. It's so cool inside!! I ended up buying souvenirs that I didnt find in the park. The BEST part??? You can get adult beverages and walk around with them 😍 The vibes are so fun, and there is live music. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Parking was very easy, there are several garages that are all free. If you park at LIME garage, you walk right out into Disney Springs. It's the easiest parking in my opinion. It was also super clean, as are all the parks. Prices were fair. We got a HUGE mickey cookie for $7.99. Prices were very reasonable at the cauldron candy shop. I didnt feel like I was getting robbed.

Ideally located on I-Drive with good atmosphere. Good range of things to see / do with a couple of bars for drinks and food. Definitely worth a visit on an evening and is open until around 11pm. The eye gets busy and reservations are recommended.

There is so much to do! For children AND adults - games, rides (they have a train for children that drives around the park!), restaurants, a merry-go-round. So much fun, I have to go back. Also, I love that Park is decorated for Halloween. It really gets you into the spirit of the season...

I really enjoyed coming here. I purchased my tickets through a third party site since I have discount options and selected a time for sunset. Took my digital tickets and immediately went through. The staff was kind they took our picture because of the tickets we had and we proceeded to get drinks for myself and my husband. We loved it!

Great area to spend some hours if your in town. Been here in past years before the full expansion that sits here now. Family friendly and plenty to do. Parking is pleniful and ample. A bit of everything available from dining, drinks and shopping.

ICON Park is one of the most beautiful and vibrant spots in Orlando! We came here in the evening when all the lights were on — it looked absolutely magical. 🎡 The huge observation wheel with colorful lights is stunning, especially at sunset and at night. The view from the top is breathtaking — you can see the whole city! The area is very clean and well-maintained, with lots of cafes, restaurants, and cozy places to walk around. The music, palm trees, and friendly atmosphere make it feel like a holiday. Everything is well organized and there’s plenty of parking nearby. We visited on a weekend, and there were almost no lines — everything went smoothly. It’s a perfect place to spend an evening, take beautiful photos, and enjoy the Orlando vibe. 💫 We’ll definitely come back again!

The aquarium is fine, but not incredible. Most of the passes are a bit pricey, unlike a year ago when they were a bit cheaper. Or at least they gave you more for the same money. If you have more than two children, you will leave this place without any money 😅. Otherwise, everything is fine. It's a nice place. I'll give it 5 stars if it returns to what it was about two years ago.

Very nice park to just to get away. Plenty of places to eat and shop. The ferris wheel is humongous! Unfortunately when I was there it wasn't working. The sling shot ride which I've seen on YouTube, I was super excited to see in person, however the price to ride was ridiculously high! $40 a person for me was a little steep! The swinging swing set ride was pretty cool as well but I didn't have the nerves to ride it! LOL.

Want a new kind of experience in dining. We'll this is your place. Elegant but casual. Reservations are highly recommended. The food is amzing, the wings are my favorite. You have a choice of dining upstairs. Optional glass elevator available. It is the fun way up. Upstairs has a bar that is available for walk ins. First come first serve. I would suggest making reservations upstairs widow seat right as it's getting dark. You can think me later. Milkshakes can be walk up ordered from the ice-cream shope located inside. A multitude of sweet treats available in their candy shope, along with a verity of keepsakes merchandise, also located inside. They have caricatures who come out to visit about every 30 min. It is absolutely worth a visit. Located inside City Walk.

I had such a great time walking around Universal CityWalk with my fiancée! The atmosphere was incredible — full of music, lights, and energy. We stopped for some Voodoo Doughnuts, and they were amazing! Everything about the place just felt fun and welcoming. There are so many great restaurants and shops to explore, and everything is super clean and well-kept. It was the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation — we’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

Nice, clean, safe space for singles, couples, families! Great food. A little expensive, but no more than to be expected for a touristy spot. I like the options and it's only growing! Happy Halloween y'all 🎃 🤪

Great atmosphere and plenty of things to do both day and night. The place feels alive — music, food, and people everywhere. Perfect spot for an evening walk or dinner after the parks. Parking is organized, and everything feels clean and safe.

It’s not bad. Plenty of food & drink options. However, keep in mind there is not much to do here unless you are going to the park. There is a movie theater & putt golf. Shopping is mainly theme parks merchandise.

Great place to visit for easy access to both universal parks either by shuttle bus or the water taxi from all the universal hotels in the area. Lots of shops restaurants and entertainment highly recommend. Both transport options are free to use and easily accessible.

Nice place to visit, but a bit smaller and more crowded than expected. Compared to Disney Springs, Universal CityWalk feels tighter and busier, especially in the evening. The atmosphere is lively, and there are plenty of restaurants and entertainment options, but the paid parking was a bit disappointing — it takes away from the experience. Overall, it’s still a fun spot to spend a few hours, just be ready for the crowds and the parking fee

Had an amazing time , I witnessed a bunch of male employees who were in charge of the go carts in all 4 tracks treat the customers amazing ... from teaching young kids the do's and donts , to their care for special needs kids , to their over all out professionalism it was an awesome experience. Although it took a while for them to open the Sky coaster the professionalism there was also exceptional

We had a great family day at Fun Spot! I went with my 4-year-old son, 18-month-old daughter, my wife, and their grandpa. My son had a blast on the rides, even though he couldn’t go on some because of the height limits. My baby girl didn’t have much to do besides hanging out (and occasionally crying) with her grandpa, but the rest of us had plenty of fun, especially on the go-karts! The lines were short for most rides, though the go-karts took about an hour each. The staff were kind and understanding, when my son lost his wristband near the end of the day, the gokart attendants still let him ride with me. That really made his day! We had lunch inside the restaurant. The hamburger wasn’t great and there weren’t many food options, and it would be nice if they added a diaper-changing table for parents with little kids. But overall, it was a fantastic day full of laughter, excitement, and family memories. We’ll definitely come back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Day Out with Little Ones (and Gators!) I took six kids under 4 to Fun Spot Florida and was absolutely thrilled with how kid-friendly everything was! They have so many rides specifically geared toward little ones—enough to keep all six of them giggling and smiling throughout the day. On top of that, the splash park was a lifesaver in the Florida heat—safe, clean, and an instant favorite. Between rides, we grabbed food from the shaded seating areas with minimal wait times, and it felt so manageable with a big toddler crew. One extra highlight that blew us away? Gator Spot. You actually get a stick with a string and a sardine on the end, and the kids (and adults!) got to feed live alligators up close. It was thrilling, safe, and incredibly memorable—something you don’t often see at family parks. The staff were all so friendly and helpful—I appreciated how attentive and upbeat they were, especially when wrangling six little adventurers. The park layout is compact but well thought-out, never feeling overwhelming or crowded. This was easily one of the best places I’ve taken a group of toddlers. Between the themed kiddie rides, splash zone, tasty food options, and even a real-life gator-feeding activity—we can’t wait to return! 🥰🎢🐊 🌞

1st time ever @ Fun Spot. I took my uncle he has down syndrome and while this place isn’t no Disney, Universal, Seaworld or Six Flags. We still had a blast. The ride operators were extremely nice. I really enjoyed the gator section of the park. The pricing for the refill cups were insanely cheap 18 bucks for 2 refillable cups couldn’t beat that. That’s literally the cost of one refill cup at all these other parks + you gotta pay extra per the day at most of these other parks. Although I do have to say I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi. Which this park serves Pepsi. Overall, I’d visit this park again the next time I comeback to Orlando.

Went with my 17-daughter on a Sunday, shortly before noon. She had massive fun. We were there for about 7 hours and she wasn't tired of the various rides. We ate at a restaurant within the park. I would go there again. The staff were cordial and professional.

Upset i didnt take any photos but we were busy having so much fun. We went the 3rd week of october 2025 and there was little to no wait for the rides. The attendants were very nice and helpful. The roller coaster was the absolute best. We rode it about 10 times. I would’ve given 5 stars but 2 things were a bit upsetting. We came at about 230/3 and the diner attendants/workers were non-existent. It wasn’t busy but all we wanted was a soda with ice and we ended up walking out because no one acknowledge us. The second thing is the go kart attendants. This day they let a few of their friends get on the go karts for free which i didn’t think was right at all as a paying customer. Then our kart broke down on the hill and there wasn’t any compensation for it. All in all we will be back and hope theres improvements.

We really loved here!we def go back there! I really recommend especially military family! We paid only $23 per person(we bought tickets at ITT) they have ride even for 3 years old babies!! They have splash pad for kids.they have free water everywhere but all you can drink souvenir cup is only $8 if you buy 3 of them.we had great time there!!

"Cool" experience but the Ice bar is smaller then expected. 2 star because I arrived and paid the $21 cover charge get into the ice bar, make my order and it's last call. I barely got to drink my drink before everything was closed down. Why charge me a cover charge without letting me know you're closing so soon. It was a rushed experience. Wasn't as great as I thought it would be. This bar experience is one that I won't be recommending to my clients. It's an experience you go to once and not one you go to again. I love Ice museums and bars, this is the first I wouldn't go back too. Wish I had gone to one of the many awesome speakeasy bars over this bar.

We were in town for Halloween horror night. Ice bar was a nice vibe for a friday night after leaving Icon Park. Since it was our first time going, We did the option with the fur coat and 2 drinks. The drinks were good, not watered down. The bartender was nice and gave me a good recommendation. The DJ was great. The music was definitely giving the good vibes.

We had a great time, good food, good drinks and friendly staff. We got the online package with parka, gloves and a drink at both the ice bar and the fire bar. Happy hour prices on food was a great deal. Mini churos, pretzel bites and meatball sliders all good.

My wife and I had an incredible time at Ice Bar Orlando! ❄️ From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was amazing the staff was friendly and made us feel like VIPs the entire night. The Ice Box itself was unforgettable everything inside was made completely of ice, from the cups to the tables and even the seats! 🧊 It’s such a unique experience and definitely something everyone should try at least once. After chilling out in the Ice Box, we cooled down and warmed back up in the Fire Lounge, which had great music, drinks, and an awesome vibe. Especially the smoked old-fashioned that was amazing. My wife loved her dry ice mango drink 🔥 Overall, it was the perfect date night spot fun, different, and something we’ll both remember for a long time. Highly recommend Ice Bar Orlando for couples or anyone looking for a cool night out! 💙

I stopped by with my girlfriend before going to an event at the comedy club a few weeks ago and it was a nice atmosphere. I loved the music. They were playing like 90’s hip hop. Totally my vibe. The entire place was empty and this was 6:30pm on a Wednesday. No complaints about that. The egg rolls that I got were really good. I was starving after driving three hours so I did not take a picture unfortunately. The drink that came with my package didn’t meet my expectations. The dry ice was a nice touch but it was gross! Going in the ice bar room was a nice experience. It is worth doing and you can get packages online. It would be a nice place to go with a large group!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited IceBar Orlando with the Orange County ladies to celebrate our Halloween party, and it was a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing — friendly, attentive, and full of great energy. The food was delicious, the drinks were unforgettable, and the atmosphere was truly unique. We loved the Ice Room concept — it made the night even more fun! Thank you to the entire team for making us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back! ❄️🍸🖤❤️

Went for Halloween and had an absolute blast. This place is awesome and the Ice Lounge is a must. Cups made of ice. A throne. It's just so cool. The Fire Bar is awesome too and bouncing back and forth is fun. Good music. Enough room to literally chill and vibe. Will definitely visit again.

We stayed at Universal Orlando Resort for three nights and four days, and for being the budget-friendly option of this hotel chain, I can honestly say it was a great experience. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering exactly what you need to relax after a full day at the parks. One highlight is the included shuttle service that takes you directly to the parks and brings you back to the hotel. It’s a super convenient and truly necessary perk to make the most of your stay without any hassle. This was our second time choosing this place for our vacation, and once again, we really enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back.

I had the most amazing time at Universal Orlando Florida. All the rides that I went on was awesome and I got to meet the characters from the Transformers, Minions and Puss N boots. The food options were delicious and loved that the coke freestyle station around the park and the popcorn refillable station too. I loved the Wicked display and got to see actual props from the movie. Can't wait to go back again.

We got the two-park passes for Epic Universe and Islands of Adventure. It was so fun, from the themed shops, the rides, to the village Hogsmede, and the Castle Hogwarts, down to even the staff themselves. IT WAS FUN!!! Even though the water was $6.00 per bottle. 😁

Universal Orlando blends immersive storytelling with high-energy attractions across multiple themed zones. Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are especially well-designed, offering both visual detail and interactive elements. The layout is intuitive, and Express Passes make a big difference during peak seasons. Food options range from quick bites to sit-down meals, with plenty of vegetarian-friendly choices. Staff are consistently helpful, and the resort hotels offer perks like early park access. It’s a multi-day destination if you want to experience everything without rushing. The app helps with wait times and mobile ordering, streamlining the day. Seasonal events like Halloween Horror Nights add extra value for repeat visitors. Accessibility is solid, with clear signage and shaded rest areas throughout. Whether solo or in a group, it’s one of Orlando’s most versatile and rewarding parks.

HHN was awesome! Incredible talent, design, and artistry. Not as scary as I thought it would be but totally fun! Got into three houses, saw the show, and watched the fountain display. Yummy food & drinks. Good vibes all around.

Universal Orlando Resort exceeded all expectations. From the moment we entered, everything was perfectly run spotless grounds, clear signage, friendly staff, and a truly immersive experience in every area. The rides are spectacular: thrilling, creative, and full of movie magic. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is breathtakingly detailed, and the new attractions are truly world-class. Food and drink options are great, with plenty of healthy and fun choices. Lines move efficiently, staff go out of their way to help, and the whole place feels alive with excitement. Ideal for families, couples, and anyone who loves great entertainment. An unforgettable experience we can’t wait to repeat.

Universal Orlando Resort was an absolutely thrilling experience for the whole family! From the magical world of Harry Potter to the action-packed rides of Jurassic Park, every park had something unique and unforgettable to offer. Our kids were blown away by the 3D/4D attractions, roller coasters, and character encounters, while we loved the overall energy and excitement of the resort. The atmosphere was electric, and every day ended with smiles and laughter. A must-visit for anyone looking for adventure and unforgettable memories in Orlando!

I came here with friends for the first time. There was a small wait but it went by quickly. Sadly, they didn’t ask us the password but it is a rather small detail in the spirit of the speakeasy. They have a really interesting cocktail menu. Everyone loved their drinks. The staff was super nice and professional. It’s clear to see they are passionately creating and serving their cocktails. Be aware there is a 1 drink order minimum per person.

Finest speakeasy visited in Orlando. They need a password for entry. The bartenders really know their cocktails ranging from classics to their new creations. They don’t have a rotating menu. Eddie was amazing, and made all of our drinks through the night.lovers lane, faceless man, moshi moshi are few of the ones we tried. Great local gem!

This was a very fun speakeasy to go to. The atmosphere was dim lighting, candles, small and cozy. There is a bar and some seating along the walls. Definitely more of a romantic feel. The bartenders were super kind. It was fun to hear about the history of the building and their style of serving drinks (no shots, no vodka). They were attentive to serving my friends and I. The drinks were great. I got a type of margarita and my friends got the espresso martini that I wish I would’ve gotten! Both were amazing though. Everyone loved each drink they got. It was a super cute place to check out! I don’t normally like going to downtown but the drinks were amazing so I might have to come back after all. Make sure you get the password so you can get in!

Great low key spot. Somehow I always end up here when there’s no one else there. The bartenders made awesome craft cocktails. Delicious and dangerous lol

Great speakeasy for drinks, make sure you know the password before fore you go!

I’ve been in Hanson shoe repair so many times for several years, I come from very far away to enjoy their drinks, I saw people who got there after me and she asked them “how many people in his party” and they said 2, she let them in, I think she forgot about us (we were 2 people) so I waited she did it again this time she let in her friends and ignored us, so I asked in a polite way and she gave me an attitude I never experienced this before. I ended up leaving NO NEED TO GO TO HANSON SHOE REPAIR, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER SPEAKEASIES NEAR BY WHO WILL TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT!!!

Awesome Hidden Speakeasy in downtown Orlando. Great drinks, amazing bartenders, and very unique vibes. Be sure to know the password for entry, stay a while for some impressive cocktails, and enjoy a refreshing experience. Drinks do not disappoint. The rooftop view is also pretty sweet. It is tiny, but that's also what makes it so special. Very intimate and old school. Be sure to check out the bar downstairs as they have different cocktails and options.

Nice place, came here back in June for some lunch since it was very rainy and the rides were all closed, and the experience was decent, just a standard corporate vibe with some special music. Prices are moderate similar to the Manhattan location, and overall its just like any hard rock should be a guess. I reserve 5 stars for the best of the best but this place is pretty good to go for a lunch or if your waiting our rain. I wish my partner didn't have a nose bleed while eating otherwise it would be perfect. PS. the desserts are huge here! Loved the lemonade tasted very fresh. Best part of Universal that day in my opinion.

****************PLEASE KNOW************* HARD ROCK LIVE IS NEXT TO THE CAFE at City Walk. First, the directions kept sending us to different places. 1st a dead end by a security post, then the Hard Rock Hotel. It’s a good thing we left early and didn’t miss the show. Other persons were dealing with the same thing. It is a walk from the parking lot to the place itself, so my ladies be mindful of wanting to wear heals. The place was fairly clean, including the bathroom. The bar was at the back which is the entrance to the LIVE. The drinks were pretty okay, not strong or anything. Before the show, the screens in the front display some of the upcoming shows that will be shown at the Live, which is cool. The staff all were pretty friendly and mostly on point. You had persons who paid for standing room in the back come to the front and stand and block persons who purchased their tickets that were in the front. That was quite annoying, but the ushers/security gently let persons know they couldn’t be there, so there was order. I guess it’s a good place for entertainment, because I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Beres Hammond live.

I’ve been here more than once, and it’s always a great experience. Delicious burgers and ribs! The atmosphere is lively with two floors inside, full of music and energy. They even celebrate birthdays, which makes the experience extra fun. The espresso martini wasn’t my favorite – a bit too strong on alcohol – but overall it’s a great place to enjoy classic food and the Hard Rock vibe.

Biggest Hard Rock in the US. The venue was as expected, amazing. There was so much memorabilia and even a section of the Berlin Wall! The choice of food was great. The quality of the burgers was fabulous and they were super tasty, even for a vegetarian! The price was reasonable. The service was great. We didn't buy the entrance photo, some may like this, but we're not into gimmicks. I had an expresso martini, tasty! We have already booked for another visit.

Hard Rock is always a great experience for any music lover. Heck even if you aren’t that into music it’s a great experience! I got this Twisted Mac and Cheese and a Strawberry Basil Non Alcoholic Drink this time. Nothing in the restaurant is a miss and I’ve been here tons over the years. Service is always great. Restrooms can be a bit hard to get too, (if you have any accessibility issues) but they do have an elevator, it’s just slow. If you have a large party, definitely recommend maybe calling ahead on a busy day because sometimes there can be a bit of a wait depending on the night. If you’re solo, you’re usually good! Music is always blaring here, it can be hard to talk but you can still talk with effort. It’s my personal opinion everyone visit a Hard Rock at least once in life so give it a go!

I passed through Universal City Walk Orlando Spring Break of 2025. It was late in the night and the restaurant did not seem very busy - half of the lower tables were not occupied. At first glance, I also want the menu pricing is considerably cheaper than the nearby restaurants so it is easy on the wallet. However, It took almost an hour for my food to my table. Considering the food is from a renowned chef, the burger was blah. The restaurant is also showing its age, eventhough the memorabilia at the hotel.is mm outstanding.

Fun atmosphere, service was fantastic, food was delish. Forgot to get a picture of the wings my husband and brother LOVED them. I had the noodle bowl and it was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. The service was very friendly (thank you Vegas) and very quick. We will be back!

A cute little cocktail bar tucked away on Orange ave. There’s plenty of parking for now in the back from the new lot. Great they do reservations, as we were a larger party of 9. It’s pretty loud for a group at a large table (we had to kinda yell at each other to hear), but they have more intimate booth/table seating for smaller parties. The drinks were quite expensive for many of them being mostly ice. They were still creative and interestingly tasty. People said the food was good as well. There’s a 4 card maximum for the table, but our waiter was able to accommodate us regardless. Definitely a nice date night option or for going out:)

Everything about this experience from start to finish was spot on. The server Char was knowledgeable about the food and drinks, she made wonderful recommendations that we LOVED. The vibe & Halloween decor was Everything we wanted and more. Cannot wait to come back. Thanks to the manager for stopping by to check on us. Thank you to Char for making our celebration super special xo <3

Great cocktail bar. Very personal as it was kinda close tight quarters within. Had a very refreshing cocktail with a friend as we chopped it up. Our bartender was super sweet and attentive. Very great looking and tasting cocktails.

I came here with my friends and had a great time. The bartender was very friendly, attentive, and made us delicious drinks. The atmosphere was so much fun! It was totally decorated for Halloween up to and including the drink glasses. This place is a winner for sure!

Had such a blast her last night with the girls! I’m a big Halloween junkie and loved how much they invested into the decorations. Drinks were on point! Loved my gummy eyeballs and the Brussel sprouts were to die for!

Outstanding Customer Service Helpful Exceeds Expectations Outstanding Food and ask for Eddie Outstanding Drinks and K menu Outstanding!! Food Outstanding Nothing less than Amazing 10/10 Highly Recommended!! Prompt Servicd!! Smash Butger & Fries Outstanding Halloween Decor Seasonal Decorations

Went here for nightmare on orange and it was great. The drinks were really good. The decor is A1 and very detailed. They always do a great job with there themes for the holidays. I will definitely be returning for their Christmas event as well. 4 stars due to our waitress going ghost (no pun) a few times but not a big deal.

I have seen many places come and go here. Some places have remained since the beginning, but I do love the attention to detail and variety of options here. I always recommend anytime. Someone is from out of town to visit at least one or two places here.

I’ve been coming to Pointe Orlando since I was 13 years old, and it’s been amazing (and sometimes emotional) to watch how much this place has changed over the years. I’ve seen it during its peak, when it was buzzing with energy, and I’ve seen it go through slower times when it felt like it might fade away. But no matter what season it’s in, it’s always held a special place in my heart. Today, Pointe Orlando is a blend of everything I enjoy. Whether I’m catching a movie, dancing the night away at Cuba Libre, sipping drinks with friends at Hampton Social, or bringing my kids to play and laugh at Main Event, there’s something here for every version of me—past and present. What I love most is that Pointe has evolved while still keeping its charm. It’s a spot that holds memories from my teenage years, wild nights with friends, date nights, and now, even family fun. Few places can grow with you like that. I truly hope it keeps getting better and never dies out—Orlando needs places like this. Places that bring people together, that evolve with the times, but still feel familiar and welcoming. Pointe Orlando, thank you for all the memories. I’ll keep coming back for more.

Went there for my birthday with friends and had a blast! Food MUCH better than expected! Overall a little pricey but you pay for a atmosphere and vibe! Expect service with sass! Silverware menues and napkins likely thrown at you! Everyone gets a witty paper hat!

So much to do. Love the atmosphere and the options. Activate was so fun and active - wear workout clothes. The candy store Rocket Fizz a nice treat after.

Worth a visit if you're a travelling Brit , as there's a British Themed bar here called The Pub! I really liked it! Very authentic and the food was great! I got Goats Cheese Dip with fresh veg sticks and some sweet potato fries! Lovely! They serve CIDER here , which is hard to find in Florida, so being Gluten Free , I was very happy!! There are some lovely restaurants, very diverse choice and also shops and a cinema complex! Plenty of parking too! Great!!

Great place lots of restaurants and bars options as well as stores.

The Pointe has something for everyone! You have family entertainment such as Main Event and the Escape Room! If you looking to dine in there are some upscale dining as well. Plenty of night life sports bars, clubs with patio seating. If you're looking to ride a bull there is a club just for you! Looking for souvenirs you will definitely find a shop to pick up a few items!

The staff was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed Ana who explained the military discount to us and took care of us at the front counter. Everyone else up there was nice too! We also meant Bill who just started working at WonderWorks a few months ago and he was very nice sat down with us and talked and shared how he liked working there. We started off our visit in the cafe with pizza. It was very good. Then we ventured on into the WonderWorks adventure. We did not get the pass to the arcade however there was plenty to do besides that. The little one enjoyed the second floor and all its interactive stations. And the 10-year old of course wanted to do the laser tag and the Rope course. Despite it being small it seemed to accommodate the people that were there okay. It was a nice adventure for a Saturday afternoon!

It was so much fun! I had a blast with the different activities and some of the games I got to play with my siblings. The ropes course was a lot of fun, laser tag was a lot of fun, the roller coaster simulation was a lot of fun as well as the gyroscope ride. Overall just a great time especially with family would highly recommend checking it out.

We went to Wonder-Works Orlando today. It was so much fun. There were roller coasters, soccer, electronic shooting, and rope adventures. There was something for all ages and stages. It was so relaxing. I couldn't play all of them in one day. 😀😀

This was such a cool interactive experience. I loved reading about fun facts in each exhibit. My group of four really enjoyed the simulations! I would absolutely visit again.

Cool place. Interactive amusement park with a scientific approach. My family and I were there on the weekend. There were a lot of kids on the weekend but no one waited in line. Everyone was having fun to the fullest. The staff was very friendly and involved. So many children and their parents visit this place! A huge thank you to the staff for dealing with such a large flow of people! My child really liked the large interactive sandbox; the touch screen where you have to hit the fruits. I liked the invisible piano, and the big screen where you have to shoot soft balls at attacking zombies. The room with the hurricane wind scared me a bit)

Our family had such a fun and memorable time at WonderWorks! From the moment we saw the upside-down building, we knew it was going to be something special. Inside, everything was hands-on and engaging — from the bed of nails to the bubble lab, space zone, and the ropes course. The staff were friendly, helpful, and patient with the kids, which made the experience even better. We spent several hours exploring and still didn’t get to everything! It’s the perfect mix of fun and learning, and a great way to beat the Florida heat since it’s all indoors and air-conditioned. Highly recommend going early in the day or on a weekday to avoid crowds. Overall, WonderWorks is a must-visit if you’re in Orlando with family — it’s interactive, educational, and packed with activities for all ages.

The whole family had a great time. The rope course and laser tag were a massive hit with our kid and the science exhibits were a lot of fun. Plan for a few hours and mostly standing as there is very little seating around the exhibits.

Okay so totally just found this place by chance but it’s obviously the place to be at to party in Orlando lol outdoor friendly with plenty of bars to choose from ! Tons of ppl and a beautiful lake with skyscraper views a few blocks away…felt safe down here and many choices of bars and the library is in this area too…very pleased i went to see this side of Orlando and will be back here to party when I’m back !

Paid parking a block away. Cool outside atmosphere for watching sports game. We had a blast

Everything is great!!! Always having block parties for sports events..home of the Bills Backers. Entire street is closed off multiple bars/restaurants to choose from! 3 easy parking garages a block or 2 away!

It's a nice and relaxed place to stroll around. Few bars with different vibes in the same area.

Apparently, "The Other Bar" is a Buffalo Bills backer bar.

Decent spot for a drink but not a pace to spend your entire evening. From time to time they have shows and live music! For those out of Townes - it's a nice place to go with multiple bars and you can carry your drink around openly.

One of the best of Orlando’s downtown. Great bars and restaurants. St. Patrick’s Day was crazy here. Had great DJ and more.The bars here offer great drinks and music. The ambiance of the whole place is just awesome on weekends.

SAK Comedy Lab is a place where laughter becomes art. There is no place for boredom, only explosive humor and unpredictable improvisations. Actors instantly create skits based on audience suggestions, making each show unique. Visiting SAK Comedy Lab is a great way to relax and get a charge of positive emotions. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the humor is always fresh and relevant. It is the perfect place to spend an evening with friends or family. I recommend SAK Comedy Lab to everyone who is looking for quality humor and wants to have fun. You will definitely not be disappointed!

I was skeptical about this place because I don’t like when people try to be funny and they’re not 🤣 Place is super cool and great vibes. Fair prices for tickets and also at the concession Host was amazing and show was definitely very funny and spontaneous! Loved how they interact with the public! I’m definitely coming back and bringing friends!

This place is a lot of fun. The atmosphere is wonderful. They have yummy snacks annd drinks plus the show was great. I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my seat. This is a must experience for anyone trying to find something affordable to do. Every show is unique so you can visit often and get a different experience. We had a great time and will be back.

SAK Comedy Lab is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Orlando. Their improv shows keep you laughing from warm-up to curtain close. The talent, the energy, and the way they riff off audience suggestions is always on point. Great date night, even better with friends. Can’t wait to go back.

I have loved this place since it was located on Amelia! The shows are always hysterical.. the classes are so fun.. and now I'm so happy to share this with my kiddos and take them here. They feel like superstars when they get picked for suggestions or to help on stage and my girls love coming here as much as I do. I'm getting ready to jump back into classes here again because it's been awhile and they are so fun.

I was totally blown away how good the King of the Hill battle was. The vibe there is infectious… in a good way.

Hilarious, High-Energy, and a Must-Do in Orlando! My wife and I recently attended an improv night at SAK Comedy Lab during our trip to Orlando—and it was our first time ever at a comedy club. Let’s just say… we’re hooked! It was a nearly packed house, and the energy in the room was electric. The host and comedians were absolutely exceptional—quick-witted, creative, and genuinely hilarious. What made it even better was the way they involved the audience throughout the night, making it feel like we were part of the show. If you’re visiting Orlando, do yourself a favor and include SAK Comedy Lab in your plans. And if you're a local and haven’t been yet, you're seriously missing out. A top-notch night of laughter and entertainment!

If you’re into the Halloween vibe you will love cocktails and screams. The atmosphere was so cool. The decorations and lighting was perfect. The drinks were great and the staff are friendly and welcoming. All in all it was awesome. Definitely going back In October. I heard they really go all out. Can’t wait.

This place is absolutely awesome!!! Such a cool and creative spot. I really hope they keep it the way it is, because it has a killer vibe. When I first got there, the music was all rock, and it fit the theme perfectly. But later in the night, it suddenly shifted to mostly pop, and even a couple of reggaeton songs were played. Not sure if it was because a group of younger ladies showed up, but it definitely changed the atmosphere a bit. Still, the overall experience was great! The decor, the energy, and the drinks were all on point. It’s one of those places you just have to visit at least once... I just hope they stick to their original style (Rock Music) because that’s what makes it so unique.

I come across this place in an Instagram ad and I am so glad I added it into our trip! This place was awesome and I don't know what was better, the drinks, the decor, or the girls singing... it was an absolute VIBE all around! We tried multiple drinks on the menu and not a single one let us down! The atmosphere of this place is 100000/10 and I could hangout here all night!

Not your typical bar — and that’s what makes it great. This was my first time in a place like this. No food at all — just cocktails and a very unique atmosphere. If you’re into rock, spooky vibes, or alternative style, you’ll probably love it here. I’m not usually a fan of this kind of music, but I really enjoyed the energy and creativity of the space. There’s an overwhelming amount of decor — art, displays, odd little details — you could spend an hour just walking around and looking at everything. ⚠️ Downsides: – No food available at all, so come prepared. – Parking is $10.75/hour nearby — kind of ridiculous. – The women’s bathroom was dirty: mirrors were smudged, toilet area was a mess, and there was no toilet paper. Please take care of this. If you know what you’re walking into, it’s a cool experience. But if you’re expecting a typical bar with food and chill music — this isn’t it.

Had a great time! I loved the atmosphere and DJ Eric was incredible! The music was so good! I loved how it wasnt too genre specific. Great vibes, drinks and energy! A great place to be during Halloween season!

All year Halloween themed bar. There is cover when it’s closer to Halloween and when there is a special event. But overall, a nice place to visit while you’re in Orlando! Fun cocktails and decor. The cocktails are pretty sweet though. There is a speakeasy bar inside of this place called “The Craft.” You don’t need a reservation but might need to wait a little bit to get in on the weekend.

Had a great time! We went early on Father's Day, and we had the whole bar to ourselves for a long time! The bartender was phenomenal, and the drinks were delicious. No complaints about service at all - staff was incredible. Decor and vibes were immaculate, the music was exactly what I had hoped for. I do think management has some work to do, tho. There was a lot of broken bar equipment and we could see staff struggling. Also, I have worked in bars plenty, but this kind of tourist attraction should probably mop the floors once in a while. It was pretty gnarly. The bathroom also had no paper towels and was kinda gross. Considering we were the first customers of the day, I don't imagine it got cleaner throughout the night...

I went for HHN 2025 Dead Coconut Club KOVEN makeover. The club is crowded and tight, but it is themed amazingly. They did a show, but i didn't see a way to tell when it started or how often it occurred each night. Upstairs was way tighter than downstairs, but upstairs you can go outside on the balcony. The drinks were nice and strong. You might have to wait a bit to order so I would advise to order two at once. Though I enjoyed my time, unless I needed to kill time I wouldn't make this a priority on trips. I had missed other iterations of this club on previous halloween and Christmas trips and now I don't feel like I missed much.

This is a great bar at Universal City Walk. They play nice variety throwback music! They have seasonal decor/theme during holidays like Christmas, Mardi Gras, and Halloween. They also have a second floor where you can go outside and see the city walk view or stay inside and see the dance floor. I love going during Halloween!!!! They go all out and always decorate the place beautifully. The only cons is there is no age limit, so expect to see young kids on the dance floor.

I am unsure how many times this concern has been brought to your attention, or how many patrons have expressed similar sentiments, but it seems that hosting events such as the HHN Coven Coconut Club while welcoming all ages may not be the most appropriate approach. Considering the presence of bars and the absence of food service, one might question the suitability of allowing children into an environment where adults are seeking to relax and enjoy themselves. The presence of children in such a setting could potentially disrupt the experience for those who are drinking, dancing, and engaging in other adult activities. Perhaps a reassessment of this policy is warranted to ensure a more suitable environment for all guests, as the current setup resembles a nightclub, and the rationale for allowing children in such a setting remains unclear.

My wife and I always have such a great time at the Dead Coconut Club (during HHN), but really any time of the year! The atmosphere is fun, the drinks are awesome, and the vibe is unbeatable. I especially want to give a shout-out to Eddie, the bartender — he’s amazing! Super friendly, attentive, and always makes our experience even better. We feel like we've known him for years! We love him! Super cool dude. If you’re visiting Universal — go there, you won’t be disappointed! ☝️

Stopped by the Red Coconut Club to grab an adult beverage and check out the atmosphere and had a wonderful experience! The DJ was playing awesome music and everyone was enjoying their time there. I had a "Rogue Santa's" beer and it was really good and had a hint of chocolate flavor...yum. The Cinnamon Swizzle Paloma off of the specialy menu was also exceptional and you could definetly taste the tequila in the drink. Bartenders are awesome and fun was had by all!

The club is really cool and we went while it was redecorated for Hallowe'en. Drinks are expensive, but you're at Universal, so that's expected.

They did a fabulous job turning this into Koven for Halloween!

Universal Studios Orlando was an unforgettable experience! One of the highlights of our visit was taking the Hogwarts Express between the two parks — not only was it convenient, but it also felt like we were truly part of the Wizarding World. The level of detail and storytelling on that ride alone was incredible. But hands down, my favorite attraction was Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. From the moment you step into the Gringotts Bank, you’re completely immersed in the world of Harry Potter. The animatronic goblins, the massive chandelier, the underground vaults — everything was so well designed, it honestly felt like we were in the movie. The ride itself was thrilling, and the entire experience had us in awe from start to finish. We also spent a lot of time wandering through Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, both packed with amazing details and great photo ops. The theming is next-level — from the moving portraits and magical shop windows to the sound effects and music, everything was spot on. We couldn’t leave without picking up a ton of souvenirs from the gift shops — wands, house scarves, chocolate frogs, and other fun Harry Potter merchandise for the whole family. If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is a must-visit. Even if you're not, the creativity, immersion, and overall fun at Universal are more than enough to make it an incredible day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Universal Studios Florida – The Place to Be for Halloween Horror Nights Universal Studios Florida is an amazing place to visit year-round, but it truly shines during Halloween Horror Nights. The atmosphere, creativity, and overall experience are unmatched. Every year, Universal seems to raise the bar, and lately, it’s safe to say they’ve really stepped it up — in fact, I’d say they’ve even surpassed Disney when it comes to entertainment and immersive events. If you’re visiting during Halloween Horror Nights, I can’t recommend the Express Pass enough. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s absolutely worth it. The amount of time you save and the number of attractions you’re able to enjoy make it a smart investment, especially for those who want to experience everything in one night. Another great option is the Early Admission Pass, which gives you a huge advantage by letting you enter before the main crowds — perfect if you’re not planning on getting the Express Pass. The park itself looks incredible at night, and the themed houses and scare zones are done with incredible detail. You can tell how much work and passion the Universal team puts into creating an unforgettable experience. The food, the entertainment, and the staff all contribute to that perfect Halloween atmosphere. The only downside is that a few of the older rides could use some modernization. While the park continues to improve and evolve, updating some attractions would make the experience even better. Still, Universal is clearly heading in the right direction, and their commitment to enhancing the guest experience is easy to see. Overall, Universal Studios Florida delivers an unforgettable time — especially during Halloween season. Between the creativity, organization, and pure fun, it’s worth every penny. Highly recommend visiting, and if you’re going during Horror Nights, definitely plan ahead and take advantage of those passes!

I’ve visited the Universal resort multiple times and have always come away with incredible memories. Parking is always easy enough and the walkways to CityWalk are well marshalled/sign posted. Wait times for rides massively vary based on time of day and public holidays (I recommend an early start and going as far from the entrance of each park, then working your way back). You can get lightening passes but it does expensive for a group. There’s plenty of live shows and character meet and greets, some highlights for me being meeting the Transformers and watching The Blues Brothers perform. The jewel in the crown is undoubtedly ’Harry Potter’, such a magical experience for little ones, there’s two sections spread across Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, connected by a Hogwarts express. The Simpsons ‘Springfield’ is really fun too, I enjoyed a pint of Duff in Moe’s. The facilities are generally really good, you’re never far from food/drink and you can avoid long waits by using the app (be sure to try a giant Turkey Leg… yummy!). The parks are kept clean. I recommend the nighttime show, which includes fireworks, a drone and fountain display with characters and music from Universal movies such as Back To The Future, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Transformers, Ghostbusters and Harry Potter.

It was awesome, did the day pass for the day and the Halloween horror night for the evening. It really wasn't as busy as what I was thinking and what I've always heard from people. Got on the attractions fairly quickly without having to have a fast pass the park was nice and clean and actually people were pretty well behaved . Definitely will be going back with more of an extended stay and explore the other parks

A magical place that truly captures the spirit of Orlando! Our visit to Universal CityWalk Orlando was absolutely unforgettable. From the very first moment we stepped in, we were surrounded by vibrant colors, music, and an incredible atmosphere that instantly puts you in a great mood. The area is beautifully designed — full of energy, lights, and excitement, yet still feels very safe and comfortable to explore. There are so many amazing restaurants to choose from — each offering something unique, from delicious American classics to international cuisine. We stopped for dinner, enjoyed great service, and loved how every place had its own style and personality. The shops are also fun to browse through — perfect for finding souvenirs or just taking a stroll and people-watching. What makes CityWalk so special is its combination of entertainment and relaxation. You can enjoy live music, take stunning photos by the water, grab a drink, or simply walk around soaking in the lively vibe. Everything feels festive, friendly, and full of joy. It’s the perfect place to spend the evening after a day in the Universal parks — a smooth transition from adventure to atmosphere. We stayed for hours just walking around, laughing, and taking in the lights. It really feels like a celebration of life — a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Orlando. We’ll definitely be back again — CityWalk is one of those places that never gets old!

I’ve been to Universal numerous times now and each time is a blast, always leaving with new memories. Best part is Harry Potter, the details they put into creating the theme park is incredible & very nostalgic for me. From someone who watches the movies every year around the holidays and then being able to step into the wizarding world myself is magical! TIP: Take a family picture somewhere in the wizarding world and have the live option on, then go into the settings for that picture and put it on a loop - now it’s a moving picture, just like how the pictures are done in Harry Potter! Overall, expensive park but completely worth it if haven’t you been!

A great place for family, friends and kids! So much fun walking around, thrilling rides and much more! At the end of the day you will be drained but the kids want to continue! Even having express pass really doesn’t help much because that also has wait times but compared to the regular ones it’s much better! We absolutely had a great time !

We arrived on the Friday before Labor Day weekend. They open only 10.a.m. that day. Many people didn’t know, arrived much earlier and so there was a long line around the whole pick-up/drop-off area. But we made it into the park around 10.30h. So it was better that it looked at first. The three major shows are still good. The coaster rides are really thrilling. So not all of them are for the whole family. This might explain the surprisingly short wait times. I did not see anything over 30 minutes. Many rides were 10 min or under. Don’t go by the wait times in their App. Even their own staff at guest relations admit that the App is not reliable here. I only give the park four stars, since the organization lacks here and there. But overall we had a great time. I read reviews from people complaining about prices at the ticket booth. Well guys, your own fault. It is a known fact that these days at many places online booking saves money. I read complaints about their food prices. But the portions are big. And if you buy online tickets you get a voucher worth $20 per ticket for food without any extra costs. You can redeem it for food or merchandise. But you need to go to guest relations counter to receive it.

As soon as we hit the parking lot, things started costing. We had a three park pass and parking was supposed to be discounted- nope, $37.50. Then, we realized we didn't bring a hat (my bad) and ball caps started at $33- pass. We had hoped to ride the Sky Tower- nope, not running that day. We decided to go see the dolphin show and that was good and fun (and included in the admission). After the show, we went to grab some lunch. We saw that the Meal Deal was now $60 per person and decided to pass and get enough food to share between the two of us- that turned out to be $78!! I decided to try one of the rides (Journey To Atlantis, which stopped and shut down the last time we visited the park) and although I hardly waited to get on the ride, it seemed very rough and lackluster- disappointing. The orca show wasn't until late in the day (only two shows scheduled, the first beginning very shortly after the dolphin show we saw earlier. We would have had to hurry all the way across the park to see the orca show) and by now, the novelty was wearing thin. We went to see the penguin exhibit and that was ok. The interior temperature is kept at around 24° which ensures that people flow through fairly quickly. My wife has mobility issues and began to wear down, so we called it after about 4½ hours in the park. Our hotel is within view of the park and we went to kick back for a while. Shortly after we got to the room, we heard the thunder and knew that a lot of the park was being closed. By 5 pm, it was raining so hard, we could not see the park from our hotel window (which we assumed would have canceled the second Orca show). All this being said, we just don't see the best bang for the buck at this park (or ANY theme park anymore, for that matter) and we just don't see ever going back. Admittedly, we are older, but our main issue/complaint is the sheer expense of it all. We hit several parks in 2025 and I think it's safe to say that we're done with amusement and theme parks. SeaWorld has really slipped over the years, but charges more and we're just done.

Beautiful place. Not very long waiting times for rides even on a weekend. If you don’t like rollercoasters or go with elderly people/small kids they have a lot more to see. Great for going with family. It has more animals and shows than I expected; I was surprised with the amount of activities to do. Will definitely go again.

We loved all the exhibits and aquariums they had. My daughter especially loved petting the stingrays experience. The ritas inside was also delicious. There wasnt waits but it was a weekday and it rained so all the rides shut down sadly. We still had fun ultimately though

We had a great time at SeaWorld. I had no idea they had rides. We ended up with a 2nd day free because it rained and the Vacation booth gave us tickets for free admission the next day. I thought that was really nice. Also we got tickets in advance with groupon included a free meal so that was another plus. But we enjoyed our visit to SeaWorld and will be back. The Orca Show was so much fun.

Everything always wonderful. I believe they don't overpush like Universal does around halloween. Its packed enough. The good enough where its not annoying..if that makes sense. They ppl are definitely kinder then disney. And are not so anal..about certain rules. Its more of a relaxing atmosphere. So u can enjoy all of it

We had a fantastic day. The show were very good. We had the all day dining option. The half chicken did appear to be cooked properly so we didn't eat it. We also had a burger, the staff didn't appear very organised.

The service was top notch, the food was overpriced and not that good at all. We ordered a lot of different items and nothing was very tasty. The place is pretty cool visually.

House of Blues Orlando delivers an outstanding dining experience with a perfect blend of ambiance, hospitality, and delicious food. The decor is a vibrant tribute to countless talented artists, creating an atmosphere that's both cool and inspiring. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making our visit feel truly special. We kicked off our meal with the Jalapeño Cornbread paired with Pecan Butter—an amazing start that set the tone for what was to come. The Cajun-seasoned French Fries were bursting with flavor, and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her Cobb Salad, elevated with perfectly cooked Cajun Shrimp. After finishing our fantastic meal, we explored the Gear Shop and took in the sights and sounds of Disney Springs. House of Blues Orlando exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

We come to House of Blues to enjoy music and late night snack & drinks. We’ve been here multiple times and sat indoors and outdoors and the vibe is good every time! Nacho (with brisket) and wings were great. Service was on point. Our server kept refilling ice and water so we had plenty to drink on hot evening in Orlando. Live band is usually awesome. We really enjoy spending time at House of Blues!

We made reservations last minute and were able to get one at 7:30 pm. We arrived at 7:15 pm and were immediately seated. When we were seated we were greeted by our wonderful waiter Chuck. Chuck was amazing and took good care of us. He had a great personality and attitude. Would recommend all the time. The food was amazing and will eat there again,

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend came from New York to visit Orlando. On his first day, my boyfriend and I invited him to Disney Springs, and we were hungry, so we went to eat at Blue Restaurant. For a restaurant at Disney Springs, it's very nice, but the cocktails were okay. My boyfriend ordered Jambalaya, which was very typical. My brother-in-law ordered Skillet Mac & Cheese, which he loved. I ordered Cajun Chicken Pasta, but it was a little bland, and the waitress cordially changed my plate. I ordered a BBQ Bacon Burger, which was okay. Nothing extraordinary, but at least it satisfied my hunger. What was extraordinary were the people working at the bar. They were super friendly and very sociable and made us have great conversations. There was a long waiting list, and we didn't want to wait, so we sat at the bar, and the people were very nice. I really liked Mauricio.

This was a must-visit for my partner while we were in Orlando, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The restaurant is fabulously themed, true to the Blues Brothers vibe, with a great atmosphere that really pulls you in. We were seated immediately and had a lovely server (I wish I could remember her name!) who took great care of us throughout the meal. For drinks, we had a couple of light beers, and for food, I tried the Shrimp Po'boy, my first time having one, and it was absolutely delicious! My partner had the Smoked Bisket Sandwich, which he said was the best sandwich he’s ever had! The combination of amazing staff, awesome ambience, great food, and fun theme made this a totally worthwhile stop. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying that the entire process from start to finish was an amazing experience and had the best vibe ever! A special thanks to box office manger, Vikki Liggett, who I called before I purchased the tickets to the show to see about disability accommodations and she went above to ensure to make sure I had the best seats with the access I needed to enjoy the show. She and her staff even checked on my during the concert to make sure I was having a great time and if I needed anything! Truly a very caring and great person person and says a lot about the House of Blues Orlando. I am from PA and will definitely be coming back!!!

Amazing place! It's great for adults and kids. It was my husband, 16 year old daughter, and I that went and we all had a great time. Cool things to see!

Fun for the whole family. Takes a couple of hours depending on who is in your group. My kids are older amd didn't enjoy it as much as they would have at younger ages. It was still a nice change of pace from the big amusement parks.

I have been wanting to check it out since I was a teen but never got around to it. I went with my family at last, and we all had a really fun time. The place is filled with so many quirky, random, and fascinating things, you never know what’s around the corner. It’s the kind of spot where you can laugh, be amazed, and even say “wait, is that real?!” more than once. If you take your time to look at everything, it’s about an hour long experience, which makes it a great way to spend part of the day. For me, it was extra special because it’s something I’ve been curious about for years and finally got to cross off my list. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy unusual attractions and want something different to do with family or friends!

I took my kids last week and they had such a great time! We arrived later in the day around 7pm and had enough time to go through the museum and do the mirror maze next door. I recommend purchasing tickets online when you get there so you can save money of course! There were a lot of interactive exhibits. My favorite exhibit was the Egyptian Artifacts. My other fave area had interesting facts about criminals and also things that had to do with famous crimes. I took a few pictures but I don’t want to give it all away!! Ps I removed my kids from the pics!

Orlando has the most nostalgic venues including Ripley’s believe it or not! Single tickets are a bit overpriced but it is worth it. The location at international drive is easy to find and there is parking available. I recommend this place to fill your appetite with abnormal facts.

Fun and Affordable Family Spot Ripley’s Believe It or Not is always a fun place to visit with the family. It’s a great experience overall and relatively affordable compared to other attractions. There are some really cool exhibits and a few interactive games that kids will enjoy. I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5—definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something fun and different to do together!

Hilarious, I had so much fun and laughed so much. I would do it again and again. The face swap was my favorite. I mean a lot were my favorite, a must see and it's great for all the family. You might not understand the video but thats the face swap. I died laughing.

Lake Eola is one of those spots you gotta check out if you’re in downtown Orlando. The walk around the lake is just over a mile which is perfect for a quick jog, walk, or even just clearing your head. The fountain in the middle lights up beautifully at night, and if you’re feeling a little adventurous, you can rent one of the swan boats and cruise the lake for a different view of the city. Sundays are extra special with the farmer’s market with tons of local food, vendors, and chill vibes. You’ll find a Publix right across the street if you need a quick snack or drink, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, from pizza and burgers to more upscale spots. Whether you’re walking the dog, getting a morning run in, or just looking for some peace in the middle of downtown, so this is the place. Definitely worth the stop.

I love visiting the swans at Lake Eola! A beautiful place to walk around and enjoy some nature right in the middle of the city. There is a farmer's market here on Sundays which is also great.

First time and I must say it was a really nice experience. From the different small business stands to the bomb coffee and bomb food. The swans were so pretty. This is a nice market to visit for sure. I had thirsty husky coffee must try! & egg dos :) nice nature walk around lake as well. Dog friendly . If you havent been you must go!

I recently moved to downtown Orlando and Lake Eola Park has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The park has such a beautiful view, especially at night when everything is lit up it feels magical. There’s a nice trail to walk or jog around, with plenty of benches to sit and relax. I love watching all the ducks, swans, and wildlife, it makes the park feel so peaceful at the same time it’s the perfect place to clear your head, enjoy nature, or just take in the scenery. Definitely one of Orlando’s gems!

This is downtown Orlando, where you can take a 30 minute Swan peddle boat 🚢 ride for only $15, also there's a quaint little bar, where you can enjoy, appetizers, drinks 🍸 lunch, also its right by the Swan peddle boats!!! Great food, great location, great breeze, you can even watching your favorite sports teams, Allison is amazing server, excellent customer service and the chef 👏🏾 👌🏽 😀 🙌🏽 👍🏽 👨‍🍳 amazing!!!!! Fixed my meal exactly the way I wanted it!!!! 😋 😋 😋 I selected, with the help of Allison, Greek lamb gyro, w/salad, Arnold Palmer for $14 on the lunch special!!! What a deal!!!! Please check out Eloa park & Relax Grill at lake Eloa right in downtown Orlando!!!! You'll LOVE/ENJOY❤️ IT "Tell em Ms Dee from Birmingham sent ya"!!!🙌🏽🖐🏾🖐🏾

Want to go for a walk so after getting boba tea at Raretea. Walk over to Lake Eola for a stroll 🚶🏻‍♀️. Beautiful scenery with lot of 🦢 , 🦆 and even 🐢. Just be on the look out for they 💩 😝. The building was majestic under the bathing sun. Definitely a nice place to hangout. Too bad we didn’t see any 🦢/🦆 paddles ride. Hopefully next time we come back I get to ride it. The only downside to this park is the parking. Very limited unless you pay for parking. So if you do go. Go early 😆

Beautiful place with a nice long walk. Great with children. Lots of different bird species, fishes, and turtles. I particularly liked art objects around it and Beautiful scenery.

We stopped for a couple of hours during a road trip and were able to explore most of the museum in that time. One floor is dedicated to toddler and preschool play areas, which we skipped since our kids are a bit older. Our 9-year-old especially loved *The Hive*, where she got to create a project using recycled cardboard. They offer two project options, but unfortunately, it's only available for older kids, which left our 6-year-old a little disappointed. Highlights for both kids included the interactive touch tank with live sea creatures—it was a big hit! Right next to it is a fun, digital kaleidoscope wall where kids can design their own colorful patterns. We found free (3-hour limit) street parking by the parking garage, which was super convenient. We also used our ASTC reciprocal membership for admission, which was a great perk. Overall, this is a fun and educational spot that's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

This is a very unique place. A gem for sure for children of many ages, they are constantly changing the exhibits keeping it very interesting for the kids and families alike They can do everything from birthday parties, events , weddings it gives you the opportunity to dine with the dinosaurs or dance under the stars. They also offer memberships. There’s so much stuff to look at everything from dinosaur exhibits, two play areas for the children, to movement and kinetic energy, weather, a cinema and a lot of hands-on activities, a great way to avoid the heat an amazing educational alternative.

The museum is very nice. We arrived at 2 pm and left right at closing time, enough time to see all the exhibits. Wanted to try The Coffee Spot but the line was huge and they closed at 3 pm ( museum closes at 5pm) . The food at the 4Roots Cafe was good, the bowls have a nice amount for one person ( I got the Small for $6 and some change) The museum is clean and organized. We will come back again! Also buy the tickets in advance for faster admission into the museum.

Went on a Sunday morning, family of 4 with a 1 yr old and a 6 yr old - there was so much for both of them to do! No wait for admissions. Free with ASTC membership. Great coffee shop & cafe with affordable quality food options and snacks for all. Can bring food/drinks with no problems. Large 4 floors of excitement! Parking is a cost $8-$12 for a day. Indoor playground with sections for toddlers and older kids ( over 4 yes) kinetics, super hero, water fun/splash etc plus a nice showing of iMax films in their theatre. Added bonus, cool gift shop! Would def come again if visiting Orlando area!

My grandkids mentioned how much fun they had when they went with their class on a school trip to the Science Center, so I decided to surprise them on our last day together! They had such a great time! There were some new exhibits, like the DC Super Heroes, and a few they didn’t get to see while they were on their school trip, so they enjoyed having a bit more freedom this time around to explore. It’s a wonderful place for both kids and adults with so much to see and do!

This museum must be in one of your to do list when you come to Orlando. Amazing experience, specially if you have kids with you. My husband and I don’t have kids, but we had a blast, truly loved it and learned a lot. There are a lot of interactive things to do.

This is a great spot to take younger kids, maybe even through younger teens. The building was 5 stories with an assortment of things on each floor. There was a really neat looking engineering project room for older kids on maybe the third floor. They had a water focused play area. A story time event focused on engineering followed by Lego building. A decent sized paleontology exhibit with a dig for little kids. They had a good sized 3 or 4 tier kids climbing enclosure area. A room with blocks, scarves and vacuum tubes. An orange grove with you oranges and almost a Rube Goldberg interactive machine, from picking oranges, to lifting screws, vacuum tubes, and an assortment of interactive machines. They also had a near little encased Rube Goldberg machine on the third floor or so in the central hallway / elevator area. ... And more, definitely one of the better science centers for kids that we have seen.

This place was super fun and very nice! Lots of options of things to do. We bowled and played pool. Proces were reasonable. The food was so good! Our server was nice & attentive.

The management at this establishment went above and beyond tonight! I am thoroughly impressed and still a little in shock, my company rented out the space for the night and when I asked one of the attendants where the nearest gas station or smoke shop was cuz I needed to get some cigarettes the manager asked what kind I smoke and I told him and he had one of his employees go and get me a pack of cigarettes and did not charge me for them! I am still in shock as I said and I am so impressed with their service. Thank you for an incredible experience tonight! Food was amazing too as was the bowling.

We visited this bowling place with our family and had a great time overall. We made a reservation, but it took a little longer than expected to be seated. The place was very busy, and there was only one person at the front desk checking people in, which likely caused the delay. Once we got settled, the service was good. Our waiter was attentive, and most of the food was great! The nachos and spring rolls were delicious, but the kids’ mac & cheese could have been better. Our only real complaint was about the valet service. It’s advertised as valet, but you have to park and pick up your car yourself, and they still expect a tip. That aside, we had a fun family night and enjoyed the experience.

This place has excellent customer service and the food is awesome. We made a reservation twenty minutes before arrive and were greeted warmly. Everyone is smiling and even when our food order got messed up they fixed it immediately. Definitely recommend the cheese bites and the egg rolls for an appetizer. Fried to perfection and not greasy. My daughter ordered the shrimp tacos that were tasty. Kind of small for the price though. If you are really hungry then go for a burger or the fish sandwich. The drinks were well made too. The spicy margarita was a stand out!

I went there tonight and the reception was amazing by the hosts and everyone at the bar. The place was pretty busy, so I had to wait to for my turn to play. When we had the chance to play bowling, the server who helped us (young guy, wear glasses and curly hair) asked us what we were going to eat and drink, I told him we had already ate previously, and we just wanted water. The entire hour we were there, not one cup of water was brought to me. I had to go to the bar myself to ask for water. By the way, that was already after 12, place wasn’t busy. The guy simply didn’t want to serve because we weren’t ordering food. Hope you guys can do better next time.

Their bowling alley is awesome, especially their food & drinks like their strawberry lemonade it was delicious, and the chicken tenders with Buffalo sauce on it are crunchy and tasty, plus when you dip it in ranch with blue cheese it's very good when you try it. Also, they have great bowling lanes and an arcade as well, plus the people who work their are very nice and it's a great place to have parties, especially birthdays. So come on down to bowl for a lifetime of fun with friends and families. Also, remember to bring kids cause they love to bowl, but please be careful not to give them heavy bowling balls cause they don't want to get hurt, so only go for lighter bowling balls and parents must watch their kids and help them bowl for the fun of playing and knocking down pins.

Five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We had so much fun celebrating a birthday here. We reserved a lane and a pool table. Our party was about 15 people (adults & kids). The food was delicious and the drinks were good too. We bowled, played pool and arcades. I brought in a birthday cake and they kept it refrigerator, then added the candles so we could sing happy birthday! One of our guests became sick and the manager and wait staff were exceptional. They allowed our guest to sit in a private area and helped them to get to the car safely through a side exit. They went above and beyond to attend to our party. I'm not sure of the manager's name but he was helpful and professional. The hostess/waitress, Shatara was phenomenal. Super bubbly and outgoing. The team here is great! Highly recommend! Great food & fun!

We had Ange as our server and she was outstanding! As someone who has worked in food service for many years, it’s hard to impress me and she blew me away! So attentive, knowledgeable on the menu and was so fun! She really leaned into the theme and made me feel like I was really hanging at Jock Lindsey’s place! She was personable, fun, knowledgeable and fast! She really made our dinner spectacular. If you’re in Disney springs and thinking of trying this restaurant- ask for Ange! Oh! And try all the Halloween specials- they were delicious! 10/10 date night :)

Jock Lindsey's is a wonderful underrated hidden gem at Disney Springs and a must stop for some great theming and bar food. First off, you may not realize it from the name, but it's actually an Indiana Jones themed/inspired bar, which just adds to the loveliness. There are some great props everywhere inside, and the drinks and food items are all inspired by the adventures and movies too. Spend some time looking around the place, and take a good hard look at the menu. It's a bit like a toned down version of Trader Sam's -- the only thing missing is the fun bits and gags from the staff which would make this place unbelievable. There’s also outdoor seating — it’s a boat! I wasn't expecting too much for the food, but it honestly blew me away. This is some of the best bar food I've had anywhere, let alone at a Disney park. The giant pretzel charcuterie was ridiculously good, and the bacon of doom was to die for. Make this a stop on your next Disney springs excursion and have a great time!

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar – Halloween Edition The Halloween Hangar Bar vibe at Jock Lindsey’s did not disappoint! What a fun and creative seasonal menu they’ve put together. While the offerings are simple, most dishes come with a playful Halloween twist that makes the experience feel special. My family and friends waited in line for a short time, but the food was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere was lively, the service was excellent, and every plate arrived hot and flavorful. Not one person in our group had a single complaint; everything was delicious! We sampled much of the menu: The Spike Trap, Skull of the Dead Quesadillas, Queso Fundido Dip, Snakebite Bao Buns, Phantom Dumplings, Zombie Eye Bites, and Three All-Beef Sliders. My only minor critique would be the dumplings — the rice paper wrapper was a bit thick, and the “eyes” left a light stain on your lips. I simply removed it and enjoyed the dumpling itself, which was tasty. This was my second visit to Jock’s, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. I only wish I could come back for every seasonal menu change, as they truly make it a fun and flavorful experience!

Wow what a fun experience. They have the most amazing and delicious Halloween menu ever. I do not drink alcohol and neither does my family so we were slightly dissapointed that the food menu was not larger. But it is a bar and we were not completely aware and did not research prior to going. But it did not matter because the food was beyond delicious and fun! The bar is decorated amazingly with fun Halloween decor. It already has an airport hanger aesthetic that makes it super cool even before the Halloween decorations. The service was great, and so was the non alcoholic beverages we enjoyed. I’d definitely go again in the future for another themed menu possibly?

Love the seasonal themes they do! The chicken sliders on the Halloween menu were delicious. We also enjoyed some of their non-alcoholic beverages. Only disappointment was the “host” situation. For some reason, they sat 4 large parties behind us (a 2 person party) when there were many spots available. It just didn’t make sense but the service was good.

Ordered the sliders off the regular menu and the Halloween menu. Both are excellent. Friendly atmosphere and good for conversarion. Sat at the bar and Cassie took great care of us. Excellent cocktails and great food. Would hifhly reccomend. Definately will be back.

I thought my review would not be a positive one because I thought this would be your typical tourist trap. This was restaurant/bar is far from ordinary. We went on a busy Halloween. The food was spectacular: tasty and beyond excellent presentation. Drinks were spot on. Although the price point is high, we got the quality we paid for!

Such a beautiful collection of performance halls: and convenient location as well. Management is top notch and the place is run very well: no surprise coming from a Devos Family foundation. Wonderful people breed wonderful results. We just saw The Lion King Broadway musical. Others have included: Lindsey Stirling, Aladdin, Wicked, and more. We love going here every few months for a great show! :)

I appreciate Dr. Phillips as a venue, but their policies and staff training really need improvement. During my visit, people arrived nearly 40 minutes late and were still allowed to claim front-row seats, which disrupted the entire performance. With so many empty seats available, this should have been handled much better. Additionally, the concession prices are extremely high for what’s offered. A few changes in how seating is managed and a fairer approach to concessions would make the experience far more enjoyable and respectful to guests.

We have been here quite a few times. Every site we have seen there has been amazing. The seats are comfortable there enough room to move by people to get to your seat. The food and drinks are a little pricey. But all in all it's a great place to see shows.

Been here multiple times for musicals, concerts and plays. One common pain point each time is the concession lines are unnecessarily long. Only two lines for a capacity of 2,700 for the walt disney theater. Merch is the same, only one line. Anyway youre not really coming to these places for food and drinks. Stage acoustics and lighting are top notch. Great views all around.

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. Prepaid for valet parking was very easy to pull up, get a ticket, and be scanned in. Valet is literally right at the doors, so there no need to walk anywhere. Tickets opened a little early, and entry was quick and simple. Stunning lobby, with masks on display from the show, which was nice. Love all the natural light that shines through the windows. The merch table was nicely tucked away but simple and easy to get to and purchase from. The bar/concession stand had a nice variety of snacks and drinks. Had the Grub juice ($10), which was a specialty drink for the show, which was delicious. Absolutely loved the ease of ordering for both the beginning of the show and intermission. When intermission happened, it was very easy and quick to grab my snacks and drink and return to my seat, with no line at all for me. I got the charcuterie snack box, which was loaded for the price ($13), 2 different meats, 2 different cheese, a handful of grapes, and 3 different crackers (2 of each) and a nice jam, was perfect for a nice quick snack at intermission. The bathrooms were immaculate and so pretty for bathrooms. The seats were nicely cushioned, though I did feel a bit on top of each other if you were on the bigger side as I am. The sound quality was amazing. The staff from entrance to bartenders to ushers were absolutely amazing, informative, friendly, and helpful. Got the surprise of a free 15min Q&A with some of the cast and crew at the end of the show. Tonight we got Pumbaa, Shenzi and one of the athletic trainers. At the end it was simple to hand my ticket to valet and have my car brought right to me. Definitely worse the few more bucks than walking to my car, especially since I was by myself and it was 11pm when we finally came out. As I said from beginning to end an absolute amazing night put on by an amazing facility and staff!

The venue is lovely and the show was well done. However, everything about the operations of this facility are severely lacking. We were repeatedly directed to the wrong theater and spent 45 minutes waiting in the wrong area after showing our tickets to multiple people working there and all assured us we were in the right area only to have to rush over the other side of the venue minutes before the show started. We collected more people in our scramble to the other side of the facility, so we were not the only ones given completely wrong information. Once in the correct theater, the usher wanted us to walk around to a different section be seated, then turned around and redirected us to our seats, two seats over from where we started this conversation. No one working there seemed knowledgeable about what was happening around them. We also used their valet service where no one was directing customers that there were 2 lines and there was no order to be seen. My car was returned smelling so heavily of marijuana it triggered my asthma before we made it the end of the street. This was very disappointing for our first visit to this venue and completely unexpected for something that tries to promote itself as a high end experience. Signs and proper communication could go a long way. As mentioned by numerous other reviews - the issues started with their terrible ticketing site. TLDR: The show - 5 stars, Everything controlled by Dr. Phillips Center - trash

My child was extremely excited to go on a field trip here with his classmates (4th and 5th grade) until the excitement became SHOCK at how the ushers and staff treated the teachers and students in such a manner of COMPLETE DISRESPECT. The children LOVED the performance and the theatre but all said that the customer service experience should get 0 stars. Most of the staff were so kind, and very polite and welcoming to the children- but it only takes a few bad apples to ruin the bunch. Teachers have enough on their plate to keep all of these kids at bay and together and respectful to the theatre, let alone dealing with this extra layer. They were all in dismay at how certain members of the staff were literally yelling at the students and teachers in a such a rude and harsh way. Way to set an example. The ushers were rude, got in teachers faces, and literally were putting their hands on children pushing them to move forward to their seats. They were so rude, touchy and pushy with many of the students which in NO WAY is appropriate. The ushers split up the school students on each side of the theatre- and the teacher tried to explain the two different grade levels got split up but they needed to all sit together (per school code and compliance rules for field trips and number of chaperones) and the usher said he DIDNT CARE. Then began to talk behind the teachers back to the other ushers (upon which all the students heard). Based on the complaint threads I'm reading below it seems the same ushers have been doing this, with complaints, and yet the center still has them staffed and is making what should be an incredible experience for all....one that is not to be forgotten in a negative manner. For such a well known, well respected, beautiful venue, with really a wonderful message to tell in it's performace- how can you let all of your performers down by allowing this type of negligent behavior for some of your staff? What are you planning on doing about this staff behavior CFPA?

The Auto Museum was a must see! Such a great collection. We spent hours walking around after our tour. Curated very nicely. Fun activities available like Karting, bowling, arcade games and more.

There's a ton of stuff to do with kids. Go carts, pinball, axe throwing, arcade games, and food. The car museum is large and awesome. Some awesome collectible cars and movie used cars were present. The roof was leaking in some places and buckets were being used to catch the rain water. So, it smelled really damp.

This is an amazing, interesting, and much more fun place than anything people tell you. You must experience it all yourself. Karting, an insanely cool automobile collection, food, drinks, bowling, more than one museum (cars, 007…), Cinemark movie theater, Spa (yup!). EDIT: Venue Admittance is FREE, but the Car Museum itself is $30 per person (I think $15-$20 would be perfect), but it’s worth it. Car enthusiasts, you will love this place! Fun for the entire family.

Visited Dezerland Park Orlando today and had an excellent experience. The go-kart track was well-maintained and enjoyable, the glow-in-the-dark mini-golf offered a unique twist, and the bowling alley provided a fun atmosphere. The facility is clean and the staff were accommodating. Highly recommend for a family outing or group activity.

They have go carts, shops, & restaurants... its like an indoor mall but with cars! It's free to enter & view the cars but the individual activities are priced separately. A definite must if you have kids & anyone that loves cars / car history / movie cars.

I should have visited years ago! A mind blowing number of automobiles with everything from scooters to movie cars. I'm not a huge motor head but still had a blast checking out all of them out. There are more activities to do here than we had time for - could easily spend the day here if you wanted to try it all.

I thought this was an amazing place to spend several hours. A friend recommended it to me and I tried it out one day. I was very impressed. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to navigate to. Dezerland Park Orlando has to be one of the largest indoor entertainment centers in Florida. It has over 850,000 square feet of activities, games, and attractions for all ages. It is located in the former Festival Bay Mall, and is the home to the Orlando Auto Museum, which features over 2,000 vehicles including classic cars, movie cars like the Batmobile and James Bond’s rides, and even the world’s longest limousine at 100 feet. If you’re into games, Dezerland has Florida’s largest arcade with over 300 machines, plus pinball games, pool tables, and a giant laser tag arena. For more active fun, there’s a trampoline park, bumper cars, bowling lanes, axe throwing, and Florida’s longest indoor go-kart track. There are plenty of food options depending on your tastes and price point. There is even a themed restaurant like the Bond Lounge that offers British-inspired dishes and cocktails. The park also includes large event spaces perfect for birthdays, team events, and special gatherings. Admission to Dezerland is free, and you only pay for the attractions you choose to enjoy. It’s air-conditioned and didn’t feel too crowded when I visited. I think that it would be a perfect stop for families, tourists, or locals looking for a full day of indoor fun and variety in one convenient spot.

Every time I’ve gone to Guesthouse, I’ve had a terrible experience. The acoustics are horrendous—it’s just a big, echo chamber box where every sound bounces and gets painfully louder as more people arrive. For anyone even remotely sensitive to noise, it’s an instant sensory overload. The lighting is just as bad: super dark inside, with harsh, awkward shadows that make it hard to see people’s faces, especially in the early evening when daylight outside only makes the contrast worse. It somehow manages to be both gloomy and unflattering at the same time. Honestly, I’d rather go to the shabbiest dive bar in Orlando than come back here. The drinks are fine, but nothing about the atmosphere makes up for how physically uncomfortable it is to be here. I’m actually sitting outside right now, just trying to pull myself together before I leave. They really need to fix the lighting and the acoustics. Until then, I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

Sydney has been a pleasure! She made my drink very well! Guesthouse is a chill inviting spot. They may not have a kitchen. Don’t hesitate to stop next door to grab some delicious tacos! Yes you’re allowed to bring them over! Some drinks & tacos never go wrong!

On August 29th, I visited this establishment to celebrate a friend’s birthday and opened a $50 tab. After the transaction was processed on my card, I requested to pay in cash instead and asked the bartender (short brown hair with glasses) if the card charge could be refunded. She confirmed that the refund would be issued and accepted the cash payment, including her tip. My card was still charged. I returned the following day, driving 40 minutes, to resolve the issue because the voicemail box was full and could not accept messages. The bartender informed me that only a manager could process refunds. I provided my contact information and was told I would receive a call on Tuesday. No one contacted me. The following week, I returned in person again and repeated the process. This time, I was assured my situation would be escalated to the owner and I would receive a follow-up call on Tuesday. Despite these assurances, nearly two months have passed without any communication or resolution. It is deeply disappointing to encounter such a lack of accountability and customer service from a place I previously enjoyed. I strongly encourage others to review their credit card statements for potential discrepancies. I will not be returning.

The Guesthouse is my absolute favorite bar in all of Orlando, and it holds so many memories of my time living in this city. The service is excellent and the drinks are great! The atmosphere is super vibey and it's the perfect environment to enjoy drinks with friends.

The service here is always great, but they desperately need to clean their bar. All the times I’ve been recently in the past year, the bar smells like vinegar and god knows what else. So I just stick to bottled beer when I go. They need to deep clean. I cannot imagine what their spouts and ice makers look like.

Awesome security detail, my friends and I originally loved this place because we felt SAFE… but don’t get too comfortable here. Apparently some of the bar staff (Sean) will gossip about you and recruit other employees (Sydney[and ex employees, Gabriel]) in attempt to bully you and even incite violence. Luckily security deescalated the situation but it feels a lot like a high school drama here. As a business owner myself, I believe management should take their responsibility more seriously in who they choose to run the spot when they’re gone. I attempted to contact management about the issue and got no response as they seem to ignore emails & the phone mailbox stays full so you cannot leave a message. But on the upside, Dallas makes great drinks! & some nights the music is upbeat and versatile which makes me wanna buy more drinks as it’s a nice change from the usual rock or elevator tunes. But unfortunately, my friends and I no longer feel safe here so we’re looking for something new.

I’ll never come back here. Went for the first (and only) time, ordered a single margarita, closed my tab and paid. Come closing time I get billed for $111 and a walk out fee. Tried calling them for DAYS after their opening time, no one answers and voice mailbox is full. After trying to resolve it myself, I had to dispute with my credit card company. After two weeks they got “documentation” from Guesthouse where it showed a receipt with my margarita on it and SEVEN other drinks that were added to my tab, none of which I drank and neither did anyone who was with me. Don’t even know what “army & navy” drinks are. Because they (likely) made a mistake they won’t fix and claim is mine, I’m having a ridiculous amount of trouble being refunded. This has been the most expensive margarita I’ve ever had. Still can’t get ahold of anyone at this place.

We are avid park hoppers and have had annual passes to the Big 3 in Florida for decades, but this was our first time visiting Gatorland. We now have a toddler and have been looking for more tiny tiny person-friendly attractions, and Gatorland did not disappoint! We purchased discount tickets from a kids expo we recently attended, and figured we would spend an hour or two walking around. Boy, were we wrong! We were there the entire day, and walked several laps around the park. Our toddler was thrilled with getting to feed the alligators, flamingos, and visiting the zoo to feed the goats. The food was affordable and tasty, and the wait times to experience the attractions were minimal. The selection of animals at the park was much larger than we originally thought, and we learned a lot during our visit. Their Halloween setups were really good, although we opted to skip the haunted house with our little one. There was also a really nice playground and splash area for the kiddos, but for to the weather we skipped them for this visit. The highlight of my day was seeing the famous Jawlene! We plan on getting annual passes and visiting again soon!

A trip down memory lane was well worth it. I’m in my 60s now and was only 6 the last time I went. The staff was kind and gave me a Veterans pass (free) and my friends and I had an incredible afternoon. Yep, plenty of gators and other exotic wildlife. Take the kids, bring your out of state/town friends and be ready for a fun time.

I went with my three-year-old son and my wife, and our guides, John and Lorena, were absolutely fantastic. John made a safety call that we truly appreciated, he noticed my son was extremely scared and my boy wouldn't let go of him, so he decided it was best he didn’t go alone. When my wife climbed up the stairs, she saw that he indeed terrified. My wife and I are glad John made that call. We completely agreed with that decision and respected how seriously they took safety, especially knowing the risks involved in activities like this. Even though my son couldn’t go, the team handled everything perfectly. Enjoyed it so much that I didnt ask for a refund but instead asked that I use a voucher so I could come back. Both John and Lorena were professional, funny, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The Screamin’ Gator Zip Line itself was outstanding, exciting, safe, and well-run from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gatorland. Huge thanks again to John and Lorena for their professionalism and great attitudes! Special thanks to John for chatting with my wife beforehand and keeping her calm. The staff all have great interpersonal skills, and having John with this team is an asset.

Oh my, the name of this place is so appropriate. SO many gators, plus wonderful and educational shows, this place kept a smile on my wife's face the entire time we were there. We went on a weekday and got right in, no need for advance tickets online. Parking was easy and there is plenty of handicapped parking. All the exhibits are clean and very well maintained and every staff person we interacted with was courteous and friendly. We may live 1100 miles away from Gatorland, but any future return trip to Florida WILL include a stop here, for sure.

Gatorland Orlando: The “Alligator Capital of the World” That’s Worth the Visit Gatorland is one of Orlando’s most underrated attractions — a refreshing break from the big theme parks while still delivering plenty of fun, education, and Florida wildlife. Established back in 1949, it has a vintage Florida charm mixed with surprisingly modern exhibits and attractions. 🐊 Attractions and Experiences The main stars, of course, are the alligators and crocodiles — from baby hatchlings to 14-foot giants lounging in the sun. The Gator Jumparoo Show and Up-Close Encounters are crowd favorites, blending humor, education, and just the right amount of thrill. 🌿 Atmosphere and Layout The park feels authentic and relaxed — not overly commercialized — with shaded walkways, natural scenery, and plenty of photo ops. It’s big enough to explore for a few hours but small enough not to feel overwhelming, making it ideal for families with kids or anyone looking for a half-day outing. Perfect for: Families, animal lovers, and anyone looking to experience a more authentic side of Florida.

Fun place to get some exercise when you have an off day! It's easy to kill a couple of hours here max. It felt the same as when I went as a child, but with more monetization. It sucks seeing baby crocs in display tabks and some animals restrained via tape etc.

We did the early morning 'Trainer For The Day' and it was fantastic. Michael was our host and he was literally born to do this job. He was so knowledgable and cares so much for all of the animals, that is really does shine through. He was extremely patient too and we could not fault him. We did this in 2022 and had Nick as our trainer. Just as you thought it could not get any better, Michael proved us all wrong in 2025!! Excellent experience and highly recommended. Thank you Gatorland and, more importantly, thank you Michael.

Lots of cool crafts to do. Definitely geared toward children, but plenty to do for adults. If you think you'll come more than one time in a year, go ahead and splurge for the annual pass, it's only about $10 more than a single-day ticket.

I visited for the first time on 10/21/25, I used my Florida HIA member card to get 50% off admission. I visited by myself, and didn't really know what to expect. I LOVED the attraction and within an hour I went back downstairs to upgrade to an Annual Pass! I really enjoyed the Drip Art and Molding Station! I thought the seasonal scavenger hunt was really cute too. I enjoyed the two Theatre Shows, The Crayon Demo (which sadly is pre-recorded), and the animated short Chaos & Creativity were both fantastic. I was really impressed with the storytelling in both of these presentations, especially in Chaos & Creativity which was a fully CG animated, voice acted, ~12 minute short. I also loved that the Chaos & Creativity segment was accessible- it had subtitles on the side monitors in multiple languages... kudos to Crayola for being accessible! The only thing I didn't get to experience that I wanted to was the Character Meet & Greets, but I will come back for those! Overall, a fun attraction with lots of creativity involved! I would recommend for all ages, but especially those with an interest in any form of the arts!

This was a pretty awesome spot at the Florida Mall. So many fun activities for kids to enjoy. I enjoyed it even as an adult. There are lots of free activities for kids to do but there are also options to purchase tokens for add on experiences. There is a snack bar as well as a larger cafe area. You are able to host birthday parties here as well.

Huge thanks to Kerstin for absolutely stellar communication and care in organizing Lucas’s 5th birthday. And a massive shout-out to Charlie C. — you were incredible! Thanks for taking the time to walk us through the place, answering every single question with patience and a smile, and for making us feel so welcome and seen on such a special day. You really went above and beyond. Service: way more than 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Price: Excellent Activities: Top tier My husband and I really didn’t want a typical trampoline-spot party. We wanted our kid, his sister, and their friends to explore and express—touch their senses, get creative, make art. And thanks to Crayola Experience, we nailed it.

Had my daughters birthday party here and did the Mauvelous Party package. It was a ton of fun and my daughter and her friends had a blast. There was a lot of kids and other families that day, but my daughter and her friends were still easily able to participate in almost all the activity stations. Our favorite was the Rockin Paper (video uploaded as well). There is clay molding. Coloring paper that then gets digitalized onto a projector screen as a car in a car-show or a model on a fashion show runway. There is spin art with melted crayons and also a melt & mold station where you can mely crayons and mold them into keepsakes (shark, seahorse, or even a car). This place is packed with fun activities for kids to do. You can also buy food here, and they offer refillable cups for beverages. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a small child who loves to color. I would gladly pay the price of entry again for my daughter. Also shoutout to Shumiya our party host who was amazing!

I have a two year old daughter with food allergies and it was the BIGGEST deal ever brining in a few safe crackers for her! Manager had to be called, it was a huge nightmare! Completely unacceptable! Employees are not happy to be working here. Not kid friendly at all. The place is way smaller then you think….its worth maybe 10 bucks at most. Playground is closed!

My kid had fun for about 3 hours and was over it. The experience of paying 20+ a person to watch a child experience coloring in different ways is not worth it unless you yourself love coloring just as much as they do. This is a good one time experience. They need an option for parents not to pay and just the kids pay for entrance. And why is is slime lab an extra $15?. The 3d video coloring projections, scribble scrubbie, spin art, and melted coloring are fun, but otherwise, not much else going on to keep you entertained, except normal coloring. There is an indoor playground, but my kid wasn't interested.

I was surprised (and uncomfortable) when we were asked to put a credit card on file before even ordering. The server gave no clear explanation, and that policy needs to be communicated better—it felt invasive. The food was mediocre and overpriced for the small portions. It took a long time to come out, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Our server disappeared after taking our order, and the overall experience just felt disorganized. I’ve had a much better experience at the Jacksonville location. I won’t be returning to this one.

Took advantage of the weekday 1/2 off golf deal. We have been to a few of these and what makes them fun besides the golf, the server. Ryan was awesome and on point He made good recommendations and kept the drinks flowing. Order both of the nachos and the chips and salsa are unlimited. Not my favorite chip style but for 16 bucks that’s a hell of a deal. We ordered the flatbread and it ok. We also ordered a burger and that was the most impress with really good fries. The Caesar salad was also reported as being good. The fruit cup is a little lacking but it was fresh fruit. Overall you know the food is basically going to be bar food and you’re there for golf and booze. We had a great time and will go back.

Had an awesome time at Topgolf Orlando last night—even with the rain! The setup is perfect for all weather, so we were still able to enjoy the game and hang out comfortably. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered pizza and chicken wings, and both were surprisingly delicious—way better than your average bar food. The wings were crispy with just the right amount of spice, and the pizza had a great crust and flavor

Cassie, our server, was absolutely fantastic! We were there for a corporate event and with 2 tables full of people Cassie was on top of her game. Everything was clean, organized, and every member of the staff was amazing but Cassie stood out and kept a group smiling and happy. Thank you everyone at top golf.

Service at the bar was very good. But the manger(Mac) at this location is very rude and needs to learn about customer service. My family I came here for my brothers birthday (we are originally from Michigan and have never had a problem in MI) and he treated us horribly. He didn't offer solutions to our problem when it would have been easier to just move to a different bay. Rest of the staff is extremely nice but that manager(Mac) here needs to be taught again about customer service even went as far as laughing to other servers right in front of us about us.

We didn’t have to wait to play, even though we didn’t have a reservation. The service was great. We played the new Captain America game and that was a lot of fun. The wings were good. They were hot. The french fries were not as hot as we would’ve liked. We always enjoy playing here.

Me and the husband had a great experience. The staff was very hospitable. The lemon pepper boneless wings here are better than the NY location.Thats a big deal to me as a New Yorker I appreciate good food. I wish I remember the waitresses name but I dont. She was so kind and attentive. Checked on us regularly and asked questions to help us as it was our 1st time there. This place is the reason that we went to the one in new york now. And I have to say, this one in orlando is running things a lot better. Good job guys. Thanks for a great time.

The foods flavor was amazing. Some might say it's a little overpriced. I think the prices were not bad for how good the food was and the wonderful atmosphere. That alive band taking requests music wasn't too loud it was very tasteful and classy. Me and my wife had a wonderful time celebrating our 17 year engagement anniversary.

Craft drinks, quality food and an amazing atmosphere. There's a lot to enjoy dining at this location. I was there for a group event which was handled very well by the staff. I was greeted multiple times great food and drinks all night long. All the servers had personality. I'd take my wife out on a date here for any occasion.

I loved this place , absolutely my kind of vibe , food was fab , we had a burger and the St.Louis Ribs , both incredible. The cocktails were fun (especially the Blood Donor). The band playing were great , if you love some Steampunk vibes with some cool Jazz covers of old & new stuff this won’t disappoint.

This place is always a must stop after we visit.Epcot, during the wine and food festival. The atmosphere here is always great.The entertainment is wonderful and our bartender.This time was Chelsea. She was absolutely amazing, so friendly.So, accommodating just above and beyond what a bartender is and we really appreciate her service. Cocktails were as amazing

We tried a couple of cocktails including an old fashioned and strawberry Fields Forever! Both were delicious. Careful with the strawberry drink though. It goes down easy 😆 But it was so refreshing! The burgers are fabulous! We also had the blue crab dip and pulled pork sliders. Both, yummy!

This was our first visit and it was AMAZING! Our server, Joli, was such a delight. Very attentive and great with recommendations. The atmosphere is such a vibe. We got the deviled eggs were fantastic, as was the fried pickles. The deviled eggs were creamy (they didn’t have relish, which I prefer mine without) and they sit on top of a crispy potato cake. The fried pickles were spears with crispy breading and a homemade ranch. The grilled cheese was HUGE! Full of melty cheese and pairs perfectly with the acid from the tomato soup. There wasn’t a drop left of the soup. My husband got the burger and loved it. I got to take a taste and it’s seasoned really nice and is juiiiicy. For drinks, we had the A Dame’ll Sting ya and the Old Fashioned. Both were well crafted. This is a huge hit for us and we will be back in a few months without question.

Nice restaurant, great decor and ambience. Really went there for the The Edison, a hamburger made of three different types of meat, sirloin, brisket(my favorite) and short rib, honestly I could not differentiate all the flavor but it was good, the first time it arrived it was 3/4 done (no pink at all) and my server when she asked insisted on re do it, second came cooked perfect, it was good, I did not added any sauce to appreciate the meat, again, it was good and worth a try, but as I consider myself an excellent cook when it comes to grilling is the reason why I say it is good, and one thing is for sure, it might one of the best burgers in Disney Springs, I do read comments of others before going to a restaurant, but let’s be honest we all have different opinions, I do recommend trying this restaurant for something simple as a hamburger. The dulce de leche cheesecake was really good, try it.

Everyone had an amazing time. I prepaid for 5 tables and it worked out perfectly. The tables were grouped together and we had our designated waitress. The musicians were very talented, everyone was friendly and prices were great! It was the most fun I have had in a bar in a very long time. I will definitely go back.

The music and ambiance was fun, and so were the guests. Loved all of the selections of music and especially loved the interactions the folks on stage (who were singing and playing instruments) were having with the audience. Great job on reading the crowd. The food was okay. The drink selections for the folks that were wearing the wristbands weren't many. So for those that like their drinks, pay attention to the choices if you want to sign up for some sort of event, e.g. Birthday. Good thing I only drink water, so I gave my tickets away. There was one fellow worker there that was pretty rude with regards to who can sit where. There's a way to explain to folks what the procedures are without speaking to someone as if they are less than you. Thankfully, it wasn't to me, because I would have definitely spoken up, but unfortunately, it was to a friend who was celebrating their birthday, so my hands were tide, because I didn't want to ruin their experience. But definitely, there needs to be some training for that individual, on how he speaks with patrons, especially when the patron is the Birthday person, and behaves super classy.

We held a Client Appreciation event at Howl at the Moon on I-Drive last weekend. From the first contract to set up the Happy Hour there was great communication between HATM and my team. It went off without a flaw and my guests certainly enjoyed themselves. From singing with the performers to tipping back a few beverages everyone was happy! We will definitely be doing another event there!

We spent 2 evenings here, Friday was chill but Saturday was so cool⭐️the musicians were making everyone have fun! No food and only drinks unfortunately.

This is an upbeat sing along style piano bar. Drinks were good and varied, service was excellent even though it was very crowded when we went. Loved the vibe and interaction of the musicians to keep everyone engaged. I would definitely go again!

Absolutely fantastic. Our waitress Salima was wonderful. She was so attentive. We celebrated my sons birthday. It was terriffic. The staff is so amazing from the GM James to the front door staff to the absolutely great music. We will definitely tell all our friends and be back soon. Thank you for a great night

The drinks were amazing! We had loads of buckets and shots. They do not serve food. Great music. Lots of dancing. We celebrated my friend’s birthday and they were so great to her. I would absolutely suggest visiting if you have never been.

This was a fun night! The bar was very accommodating while waiting for the performance. The game (detective work) begins when you are being seated. Pay attention to all the clues. You work with your table (seats 5-8) to follow the story, and ask a void question toward the end. My little loved the mystery and playing detective. We had it right, but let it table sway our position. Trust your gut and have a blast!

Important details first: Food was tasty. I gad the Bourbon sauce chicken which was moist and yummy. The man next ho me had the lasagna and it looked yummy too. We both cleaned our plates. Bottomless beer, wine, and soda which they brought out in carafes and pitchers not tiny little classes. They asked if we wanted refills even of the carafes. Timely refills all around. Show was well done Small cast of quirky characters with some Improv with the audience. Very subtle adult humor got chuckles, kids wouldn't have understood. We saw the English inn one, but they do rotate. Even description of the murder wasn't scary for kids. Theater clean and cute. From the lobby with the super nice and helpful desk lady, to the bartender, wait staff, and host; the non character employees were professional and personable. One of the nicest touches ar the end was where they acknowledged thag theh would happily call services if anyone was in need. I love how responsible they were and caring for customers. All in all a fantastic time.

My daughter and I kicked off our mother/daughter cruise vacation (and celebrating her birthday) the night before by attending the Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show. We were seated at a table with a family of 5 that were originally from the NY/NJ area and the company/conversation was refreshing. The service was accommodating from the moment we arrived the woman that checked us in was very friendly and pleasant. The actors/actresses were astounding. I have to admit I didn’t expect to enjoy myself as much as I did. The cast visited the tables to say hello and pick their audience participants. Unbeknownst to me that I would be chosen. 😊 As nervous as I was that I would forget my short line I believed enhanced my experience. The skit had many funny moments and trying to determine who the culprit was, was challenging. The food was good (just the right portion and hit the spot) and the dessert was great. I would visit again when in the area.

The performers put on a really impressive show, playing five characters with only four actors. The food was ok, but the chicken was a little rubbery. The dessert key lime pie was really good, but it could have been from the supermarket for all I know. The servers did a fine job, nothing spectacular, but you should really go for the show, not the meal.

Great time. Great show and great cast. Food was excellent and the service was exceptional. Had a great experience. Would love to see this place again.

What a Show!! It was such a fun, memorable experience! But before I dive into the show, just a heads-up: parking is in a separate garage a few minutes’ walk from the venue. There’s an elevator, but once you’re down, you’ll still walk a bit—so definitely arrive early to avoid missing anything! Now, the show itself was AMAZING! The actors were so professional and genuinely hilarious. They had the whole audience laughing and fully engaged. My daughter, a total theatre kid, was in awe—she already wants to go back, and honestly, I miss the cast too! For dinner, we ordered the Four Cheese Lasagna—one plain and one with meatballs. Both were delicious and flavorful, though the portions were on the smaller side. My teen ordered the kid’s meal: chicken tenders with mac and cheese and corn. The chicken was good and came with ketchup, but the mac and cheese was definitely missing the cheese part—oops! She still left happy, though she said she’d rather have fries next time if they add that option. Drinks are unlimited—beer, wine, and soft drinks which the wait staff bring to you. A small salad with croutons is served as a starter. And yes, there’s a bathroom nearby, which is a lifesaver with all those drinks flowing! We sat at Table 13, which made me smile because I was wearing my Lucky number 13 earrings that night! Total coincidence—and it felt like a good omen. The booth was comfy, but a little cramped for me (I’m not exactly petite lol), but we made it work. For dessert, we got the apple crumble and the chocolate dessert—both were really good, just like the dinner: great flavor, just wish there was more of it! The wait staff were so kind and attentive—really on top of everything, which added to the great atmosphere. Overall, take your family to Sleuths! It’s such a fun, engaging night out and worth every penny. We can’t wait to return!

Since this was my first time at this place, figureing out what I was supposed to do at the beginning (like checking in and what not) was a bit difficult, but all of the workers help you out as much as they can and are great! The show was AMAZING and I really loved it, the food, though limited options, is also splendid. All the service was wonderful and the whole atmosphere was really fun.

So my girlfriend told me about this place and I was very excited to check it out. There is a dress code and after getting there, I see why. It's absolutely amazing!!! The elevator opens and you walk into the open space with so much decor to look at and just couldn't stop looking and looking. We order cocktails and when I say they were perfect, they were absolutely perfect!!!! The charcuterie was so good too! We were able to experience the Absinthe drip as well and it was so on point. I highly recommend Mather's if you love cocktails!

A speakeasy vibe bar I always stop by when I go to downtown. Always have a great time here! The vibes, the drinks selection, & the bouncer were great!! Sometimes it takes a while though to be able to order a drink since it’s always busy. Make sure to dress well as they have a dress code! P.S. Please bring back the bathtub for the rubber ducky drink!!

Mathers exceeded our expectations in some many levels. We were in the area for a girls trip and a local restaurateur recommended this establishment after dinner. The eclectic atmosphere and indifferent floors of fun and music was super entertaining. The speakeasy on the 3rd floor with burlesque show was fantastic. The drink menu and service were exceptional as well.

I had my wedding afterparty here this past Monday. My guests loved the high ceilings, decor, overall aesthetic and the drinks. Hannah was extremely helpful and pleasant during the planning process. I’m so glad I added this 2nd venue to my wedding day because it allowed my guests to unwind and enjoy cocktails and mocktails while mixing and mingling.

Such a fun concept! I love the "hidden" entryway. The decor is amazing. The service was excellent. Go for happy hour and you get half-priced cocktails--what a deal!

Atmosphere is really cool. It felt like a posh library. I loved the high ceilings. The live music was great. Staff were friendly. The phoenix was a great spicy drink.

This speakeasy is an absolute gem! Marcello is hands-down the best bartender in town. The espresso martinis are divine, and the milk-and-cookies pairing—served with a warm shot—is such a unique touch. I love everything about this place: the vibe, the service, and of course, the drinks!

This place tops ANY arcade place I’ve ever been to. I’d come here on vacation from NJ, and it beats Barcade by a LOOONGGG SHOT. It’s just one price to get in, and all the games are free aside from the rentals. They have a vast selection of beers which is cool, and the service here always rocks. One small let down was the attendant in the entrance that read my partners ID incorrectly. His birthday was yesterday, and she mentioned that ppl under 21 cant enter unless he comes at some other time”. 😑 Obviously she read his ID incorrectly. After mentioning it was his 21st bday she rechecked it. We paid our cover, and went inside. Not a big deal, but just wanted to mention that.

Came here with my besties for a bday girls night and had a great time. Lots of retro games to choose from as well as some sit an play console options. I got the clever girl cider and it was very tasty. Did not try any food this go round but I intent on coming back and will do so than.

What a neat place! We ended up playing all the arcade game (super fun) then played super Mario party on one of the big screens. So much fun. Great selection of beers. No liquor but you really don’t need it with all their beer and craft beer selections. Great time and I’ll be coming by again when I’m in town.

No food options, only simple snacks. Great video game variety and craft beer! No cocktails, but the beer is good enough.

Such an amazing find! This is a gem for locals & tourists alike. There is a FL resident discount, but even the general admission price is incredibly inexpensive for the amount of included games available. The bartender Gio was knowledgeable about ALL the beverages available and fun/helpful with games we were playing! Can't wait to come again.

Don't let these bogus one star reviews fool you; Player One is one of the best hidden gems in Orlando! Super friendly staff, reasonable prices, and great drinks to boot! Add the fact that you and your friends can rent out a console for $5 an hour?! It's a great night out or a cool spot to wait for your table at Susuru next door (and then come back for some after dinner sake!) Since it's a bar, of course you're gonna need your ID to get in and drink, though they do make exceptions for *some* of their non-explicit content events. Bring your theme park employee ID to get a discount on entry too!

Staff depending on who can be friendly but to the point they'll say out of pocket comments like "you're done spending money" when asking for the bill, or like one time I moved the napkins a guy was reaching for and the bartender gave me this nasty look and moved it back with an attitud. Good service but like I said depends on the employees, be aware the kitchen closes around 10:30-11:40ish. Doesn't have as many arcades as arcade monsters in international but the selection of machines still pretty dope. The decor was fun too with history of arcades. You can rent a console to play the games they have. Tried the mozzarella and pizza pockets, definitely hit the spot for your typical junk food.

The atmosphere at Rising Star Karaoke on a Friday night is a perfect blend of a laid-back lounge and a high-energy party. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a chill lounge vibe with plenty of seating for those who want to eat, drink, and enjoy the show. But don't let that fool you—the area in front of the stage becomes a lively dance floor, with a good number of people singing and dancing along to every song. What really makes this place special is the crowd. Everyone is incredibly supportive and cheers on the karaoke singers, no matter their skill level. It feels like a giant, fun-loving community celebrating music together. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a first-timer, you'll feel right at home. It's a fantastic spot for a fun night out.

You see The place and you think it's going to be the best karaoke experience you've ever had. Meanwhile I've had better karaoke experiences in the back room of a butcher shop. Their songs selection is crap, the way they have you select the song is really stupid, everything is so dated… In your binder, it skips like seven letters of the alphabet and over 100 songs. If you're going to give us a QR code to scan, give us more than two pages of really bad songs. Give us the whole selection. Just switch to an app based system or something. This was embarrassing for city walk.

What a fun place. I loved singing here and it was also great watching the other singers. Denise, our server, was awesome and made great drink recommendations - also super friendly and welcoming. Perfect place for any size group or come single!

The karaoke part is amazing. But to take 20+ minute breaks in between every 3-4 karaoke songs is not cool. You label yourself as a karaoke establishment. Let dead coconut club have the DJ stuff, or limit the breaks to one time per night. Not sure if you noticed, but you lost patrons every time you took that long of a break. I'll just stay at dead coconut club next time, at least their atmosphere matches what they are.

If you are looking for a fun experience performing this is 1000% NOT THE PLACE TO GO. This past weekend I had a large party reservation scheduled. I reserved through the email 3 weeks early. I had 4 emails corresponding that my reservation was confirmed. When I arrived with my party at 7pm I was greeted by Denise. The place was completely empty. She immediately brushed off my reservation and claimed “oh we don’t even see that. No one knows where it goes. But I’ll seat you anyway.” At this point she walked us past 3 tables that were clearly reserved for my large party. She said we had a choice of the corner or a bench style seating long ways. She knew the party was large and still highly suggested we take the corner. Within 10 minutes we realized it was just too small and opted for the bench style area. She then claimed that a waitress was on her way by had “forgotten her ID” so we could go to the bar and serve ourselves until then. That waitress never appeared.( 5 hours later and Denise came by one single time to pick up a napkin off the table. Never once were our orders taken.) We went to the bar to get drinks which took 20+ minutes and the drinks tasted like pure sugar. It is around 8pm now and we all put song requests in and waited for the band to arrive. At 8:45 they finally started to play music. I was called up one time, the band was still getting sound correct so it was an uncomfortable performance. I hoped I would get called up again, seeing as the place was nearly empty for the first 3 and an half hours we were there and I had made a Birthday Reservation with a large party. We wanted to have a chance to actually perform, Not be a part of sound check and then never get called to actually have fun through the night on stage. My party one by one went to the staff asking if we would ever get service or get to perform. Each time we were shooed away and told it was someone else’s job and they had no control. NO MATTER THE QUESTION. No one would do anything to serve us or help us in any way. The band would play maybe 4 songs and then go on a 30 minute break. The same 2 girls got to go sing several times but my party was told we had “no guarantee of ever singing” The entire point of this establishment is to sing. And they don’t guarantee that. They couldn’t even guarantee that I would get SERVICE if I came back. Then the hostess chimed in to tell us that “people have come here for years putting in requests every time and never been called up to sing” So this place is just here to waste your time and make you pay for awful drinks while you never get to perform. Better off going to a karaoke room somewhere else because this is the BIGGEST waste of space in all of Universal. I’ve never been so disappointed in an establishment.

I came here last night for girl’s night, it was absolutely fun! No matter if you don’t know how to sing the live band helps you sound a lot better and its just for fun so no judgement at all. The atmosphere was great and it didn’t feel overcrowded. They try to not play the same song twice so if they’ve played a song you picked make sure it hasn’t been sang already. Overall, drinks were good but overpriced but it is free to get in and sing so it makes up for it ;)

One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Orlando. The talent is awesome. Atmosphere is laid back and gets more crowded the later it gets. They do have some bar food options and drinks. So much fun even to just watch and listen!

Fun piano bar with great service and good food! My husband and young adult kids were on a trip to Universal Studios. We were looking for a place in Citywalk without a huge wait. We were able to be seated right away in the piano room. We were able to enjoy the musical stylings of 3 different pianists who were all incredible. The portions of the food seemed a little small for what you pay, BUT the food was absolutely delicious!

Nice venue. Dined in the open garden area. Bayou burger was very nice. Wings were nice but way too expensive for 8 wings. Food took a long time to get to the table but we were happy to sit and talk and absorb the atmosphere while we waited.

We were here on a rainy night. Big props to Abby, Jim, and Crystal for making a rainy day worthwhile. Also Ray the manager for answering our questions and Ward for making the best nachos ever. Best time we had in a long time. Update 7/11/25.... We went back on Friday 7-11 and tried the Cajun Mac and cheese. We were greeted with big smiles and hugs from Kenny. Then served the best hurricane by Travis and Ward came out with the Cajun Mac and cheese and presented us with his food that we could tell that he put his heart in and served us with so much pride and confidence that we will never eat anything better. He would be correct hands down it was the best. The real reason for this update is that Luke. OMG Luke really went out of his way. He saw that I collected pins for my lanyard and I told him how I went to NOLA to look for a Pat O'Brien's pin. He went home and searched his collection and found several pins for me. I was so touched by his kindness. It's people like I have mentioned why I return to Pat O'Brien's. It's truly an extraordinary place w amazing people.i have been to a lot of places but have never experienced the service that I have at Pat O'Brien's Orlando. I've been to Pat O'Brien's NOLA and hands down Orlando is the best. I will continue to be a customer. Thank you Ray, Kenny, Jerry, Abby, Crystal, Jim Shane, James ,Luke, Big Tim. Milena and Ward and anyone else I have my have missed for the best experience.

Was a rainy evening when we decided to stop in. Food was amazing. Entertainment was great and engaging.

We've been coming to Orlando for years and never thought to try this place. So glad we finally did. The atmosphere was great and the service was top notch. We started with the biscuits and gravy appetizer and it was delicious. We did think it was a bit too small though. For the mains we had the jambalaya and the Cajun Mac N cheese with penne. The pasta was really good and a good size. After a few bites I asked for parmesan cheese to add to it and to me made it even better. The chicken pieces were good but could have used a bit more seasoning. The jambalaya was excellent. Good size and really nice flavours. Could have been spicier though. They have a stage for live music and they had a gentleman playing on the patio. He was truly good and even took song requests. Overall a great dinner and will be back to try other dishes!

This is an awesome piano bar and the food wasn't half bad. The staff did a great job of getting our food and drinks out quickly. The bathrooms were clean and overall it was just a great evening.

Outstanding Experience! Everything was perfect — the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We felt truly taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Excellent venue! Just the right size to enjoy a concert. Acoustics, lights and sound A+, bartenders very friendly and welcoming. Loved that they offered Recess brand non-alcoholic drinks. And the best part, I dropped my drivers license on the floor at some point, came back the next day and the staff (Mike) had found it and were available at the venue to return it to me!

I’ve been coming here for live shows for many years! Lots of space and the staff is pleasant. The sound is always great too.

Big room. Great sound. Everybody's was nice, counter, bar, security. It's an excellent venue and if go back in a heartbeat.

The sound system at the place is absolutely the worst I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been to 4 shows there the only good one is when the band brought their own sound guy. When it’s bad, the bass is cranked way up and you can’t hear any other instruments or any vocals. What a waste of money and a disappointment going there. Too bad cause it’s a cool place.

Great venue for live music. Been countless times over the years.

First time at this venue... sound quality was bad like a speaker was blown. Some how too loud yet could not hear the vocals at the same time. Would be a cool venue if the sound was better.

I absolutely love this venue. It's intimate as the size of the building only holds so many people. The staff is always quick to get you in and so far all the staff has been great. I believe I've been to this venue at least 3 times. One thing I don't like is the way the lighting is as it's blinding and you can't see the stage even standing at the bar some of the time during shows but I'll be back for sure.

Recently visited shots on a random Thursday night. Pretty low-key and quick service. The bartender was super sweet and recommended a drink. Tequila sour mix and lemonade. Was pretty good I’ll probably come back on the weekend for the club vibe.

I had a great time. The drag queen show was fun. Only issue I had was they said VIP was first come first serve and to get there early which we did, but they had us assigned to seats behind the front row even though there was no one there before us. They said it was for a larger group, but there was 5 of us and only 3 of them 🙁. But other than that the experience was great 🙂

Nice place but kinda odd?? I was asked for payment before I ever received my drink, I said I was paying cash, “no problem, we will bring change”. I don’t even know how much it costs? Then I order a 18 dollar menu drink and the receipt states the drink is 32 after tax?? Waitress says “old menu and old prices ” . Nice place and vibe but everything seems super sketchy. Maybe update your menus to correct pricing so customers felt more comfortable.

Very nice bar that hosted some great shows for the evening. Upstairs bartender was a sweetheart and an excellent server, the emcees were highly entertaining throughout the night. Will definitely come back for events! The only complaint I could think of was the small bathrooms that were shared with entertainers, but that's to be expected downtown.

Fun spot to vibe on a Sunday! Found it by chance and our group loved it. Great music, didnt feel cramped, and the shots menu is insane. They are kinda pricey but it's a fun experience. Some people did hookah too. Only thing missing is food, which they did not serve at all.

Went during Sundays Brunch and Beats. Which is an extremely lit day party. DJ was on point spinning music from every genre. Service was slow and after more then an hour I had to go find my server to check on food she told us several times were coming out soon. But she did work well under pressure and never appeared to be frazzled. She was pleasant despite being pulled a hundred different ways. Hookah is good. But the drinks are completely watered down. Encountered an extremely rude bartender, what she lacked in hospitality the bartender working next to her made up for 10-fold.

Went for one reason and one reason only: S’MORES SHOTS. These were artisan shots, you even roast your own marshmallow! Most fun I’ve ever had taking a shot, and tastiest shot I’ve ever had.

The atmosphere here is fantastic. The theme is so well executed and the location by the lake makes it a perfect spot to bring friends and family. I’ve visited many times and always appreciate the vibe. However, the service is consistently disappointing. On average, I wait about 30 minutes for a drink which is far too long. On my most recent visit my group waited over 30 minutes for just three drinks and there were only a few patrons in the bar. The bartender spent most of the time chatting with a patron and coworkers instead of focusing on service which was frustrating enough that we considered leaving. Additionally, cleanliness seems to be an issue. We sat at a table that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while with white globs and spills all over it. Most of the tables looked similarly dirty. The bartender or coworkers didn’t offer to wipe it down. While I love the location and atmosphere the slow service and lack of attention to cleanliness make it hard to recommend.

I was excited to try this place for the first time. I love tiki bars. Pluses are the decor, sizes of drinks are very good and prices are fair. I sat at a table but had to go up to the bar and wait just a little bit for the bartender to show up to order my drinks and go back up and pay for them. Not sure if the table serve or that's normal. I would not describe the drinks as well made, handcrafted and certainly not well balanced. I always try the mai tai first to judge the quality of how they approach tiki drinks. Instead of using almond syrup known as orgeat, seemed like they were using simple syrup so my Mai Tai tasted very heavily of simple syrup and the rum came out tasting like tequila. We also tried the tiger fucker. Pretty unbalanced with what seemed like a lot of grenadine, the jalapeno flavor and just gasoline with alcohol. I'm willing to try another visit or two and sample some more drinks. The tables were not cleaned off and we're sticky and the menus look over used, worn and again we're sticky. The place did not feel very clean. If I'm in the area again I'll give it another try but I really wasn't impressed at my first visit on a Sunday late afternoon early evening with just a few patrons in the bar. I want to like this place but it didn't measure up on this visit. Didn't notice that they offer food here so zero stars for that, service was friendly so 4 stars and the drinks 3 stars for being harsh and unbalanced.

Amazing atmosphere. Very fun sippy stuff. Literally took us out of Orlando and put us on Hawaii. Kudos on all levels.

Super fun time! We stopped in at about 11p after a comedy show a few blocks away. My husband is a tiki fan without being one of those over-researched fanboys, so I’m not going to try to argue with anyone whether or not this fits the bill there. I will say that the drinks were delicious, the bartender was nice and helpful, and we didn’t have to wait 45min post-order for our drinks like we did at Latitude 29 in New Orleans. We don’t venture to downtown Orlando much, but when we do, we will return here.

Cocktails are amazing. Ambiance is spot on. Bar tender was attentive and the patronage was friendly. Love this place and plan on returning soon. —— update 8/17 ——- Just wanted to update my review to say how awesome this place is. I’m addicted to their drinks. I’ve been coming every Sunday and the bartender, the patrons, and the drinks are beyond exceptional.

This is such a cool Tiki bar!!! The drinks are on point, music is on point, bartender is on point and decor is on point. Well worth the visit!

Duncan IS really a great bar tender. I actually ended up going back there the next night! i expressed that the customer service i received both nights was absolutely outstanding. The drink i was recommended was also really good, and I’ll definitely be coming back into town again!
