Fun things to do in Orlando: 50 fun attractions and activities

This is a magical place to visit, we did two days here and I do not have one complaint! Let’s start with our Deep Sea Dive that was led by Robert B. who we also met during the shark feeding session.Robert’s energy and passion for his job truly shines when he is talking about the animals or underwater signaling and writing, he truly made the adventure that much better and we hope to get him in the future! The Deep Sea Dive was really neat not only bc you got to see all the fish up close and personal but they also take you over to the shark area and it feels like you are face to face, the Nurse sharks are a thing of beauty when you get to see them close up! Highly recommend you do this add on! The Grand Reef snorkeling was where we spent most of our day, it’s the coolest thing to have all these rays glide by you and your able to touch the top of them ( if you do the deep sea dive you can touch their underside and they are soft!!!!!) The Aviary was an oasis of its own, birds landing on you and flying over head. The sound of waterfalls and mist all around you, it truly feels like a little jungle! The lazy river was nice and long and it was neat how it went through the bird sections and then you go through waterfalls that keep the birds from going through. We didn’t do the Dolphin Experience but after the multiple shows we watched I do think it’s worth the extra money if you are a dolphin lover! Every inch of this park is done up in the jungle oasis theme, no shortcuts were taken! We were amazed by everything. The food was fine, nothing special but definitely not bad as others wrote on their reviews, it’s free so your not getting steak :) Snacks were great for on the go in between areas and stations are everywhere :) We did the 3 park Ultimate pass that included Seaworld(loved) and Bush Gardens in Tampa (did not love, very rude employees) I wish we had time do Aquatica (3rd park) but sadly we didn’t. Everything went smoothly with the pass we received from Discovery Cove, this pass also included our parking for each of the parks. We couldn’t have asked for a more satisfying vacation and we cannot wait to come back and visit Discovery Cove again!!!!

10/10 highly recommend! This place is a lot of fun for adults and kids. We spent all day there and time flew because of how much fun we had. The dolphin experience was amazing and you can get some great photos after. The animal trek was informative and my daughter loved interacting with the animals. The whole experience was amazing and we will definitely do it again in the future.

My third time 😊 I wouldn't do a Florida holiday and not spend a day here. My sisters first time and she absolutely loved everything too. Breakfast, lunch, drinks and snacks included. Dolphin swim great fun and informative, you can tell they really care and look after their animals. Snorkeling is fantastic, you can spend all day just floating with the fishies. The aviary is fun too, feeding the birdies and having them on your shoulder. We spent alot of the afternoon simply floating about the lazy River. You can easily spend all day here and just enjoy yourself. Recommend 100% as a great day out.

This was a 50 year old bucket list Completed! I swam with Calypso OMG she's beautiful. She had been in hiding for days then came out for my daughter and I to pet then she swam away to hide oncemore. We felt so special to be able to join her and her friends... Absolutely amazing. I have never snorkled before now im an addict. I must move out of the 🏜 to the ocean!! Good people, to be truthful I was amazed at the quality of all you can eat food and drinks. Even have some free alcohol but the 50$ all you can drink pass was so worth it!!! She would male them week or strong. The pineapple freeze is a must...... The birds they were so fun and one tried to eat my hair lol.

This place is awesome. I only purchased the base package with none of the add on options and it was still so worth it. I very much enjoyed the swim with the rays and it was less that 1 foot from 8 foot long sharks (a glass barrier separating us). It felt like i was in Hawaii snorkeling. I also loved the all inclusive alcohol, and their Florida beer they had included in the base package was actually very good. I did this as a solo trip and very much enjoyed it. About every 15 to 30 min at different spots they bring out animals and teach you about them, this was very entertaining, like different birds, armadillo, and other little mammals. I would definitely come back here again.

What a great exclusive resort feel! The main attraction are the dolphins. They do make their $ thru the photos they take of you with them. Just be prepared to pay :) They have unlimited food & non alcoholic drinks. They limit the amount of people per day so it doesn’t feel so crowded.

This was the highlight of our family trip. We had so much fun snorkeling with the fish and sting rays. You're able to touch the sting rays. I was also able to experience swimming with the dolphins, which was something on my bucket list. I will say that the picture package for the dolphins is expensive but good pictures. It's awesome that your food and drinks are included in the package. We were also able to feed the birds in the aviary , which was also a great and fun experience. It was a clean environment and they definitely take pride in cleanliness. I would recommend visiting.

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.

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.

Halloween Trick or Treating at SeaWorld is a must! They had a ton of stations set up and had great candy and snacks. I love that they encouraged to keep coming back as well! A friend and I brought our sons for a surprise Mommy n Me Trip. The trip was off to a rough start just due to the shut down and both of us being tied to the government in different ways, the struggle is real. BUT the trip had already been planned so we were making the most of it! I want to give a special thank you to Nery at guest services who was helping us redeem a voucher. She was so detailed in helping us plan our day! She was so kind and just brought sunshine to our first day of our trip. She is amazing!!!

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

My experience at Sea World Orlando was amazing! We watched dolphins do tricks and were really amazing, I went on some rides and were also really great and the food at the restaurants or stores within this amusement park was really amazing. We went there on a Sunday a few months ago. We went to colourful lights on the drones at night and staff were really friendly. Would highly recommend going there.

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!!

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!

We visited Gatorland and honestly, even we adults felt like excited kids the whole time. The park was very clean and it was really nice to see the animals looking healthy, well-fed, and well cared for. Watching the alligators up close felt safe and interesting, not scary. The whole park gave us a great impression. There is a really nice kids’ area with a playground and a small water zone where children can cool off. There were plenty of places to sit, relax, or grab something to eat, which is super helpful when visiting with a family. The animal shows were fun and very well organized. The spots for the alligator shows are set up comfortably, and it was easy to see everything. We also took a ride on the little train that goes around the park — simple but very fun and cute. Overall, everything was great. We had an amazing time and truly recommend Gatorland to everyone visiting Orlando.

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.

Gatorland is way more than just gators — it’s an awesome mix of fun, education, and “Old Florida” charm! 💚 The information boards are a total win — big, bold fonts that are easy to read, packed with cool facts, and even sprinkled with humor. You’ll actually want to stop and read them all! 😄 Every exhibit is full of personality — colorful, well-decorated, and never boring. From massive gators to rare white alligators, birds, snakes, and crocs, there’s something jaw-dropping around every corner. 🐍🦜 Families love how affordable it is compared to other Orlando attractions, and kids go crazy for the splash park and mini train ride. 🚂💦 Feeling brave? The zip line over the alligator pond and off-road monster truck ride are unforgettable adrenaline boosts! ⚡️ The park’s got a relaxed vibe — you can easily spend a few hours exploring, snapping photos, and catching live shows (don’t miss the Jumparoo show!). 🧡 Hungry? Don’t miss the famous Gator Bites — yes, real gator! 🐊 Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a tangy dipping sauce that makes them downright addictive. It’s a must-try snack that perfectly matches the Florida vibe! 😋🔥 Love, Jess 💜

This place is a blast. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It's a very clean and lovely park and there are so many gators!! They have other animals as well. They also provide a lot of information about the animals are work hard in conversation of endangered animals. Will be back again. Also the upclose encounter shown as so cute and funny. Those guys are wonderful and very engaging with the audience.

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.

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.

We visited with our 13 & 10 year old children to get out of the summer heat - this was fantastic & thoroughly entertained our easily bored sons who usually are not impressed by anything other than a new Xbox game!! We spent 5 hours here! Worth every penny. Staff were super friendly.

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.

We have a 17 year's old with special needs and twin 5 year's old twins the 3 of them had a blast with the hands on experience. Several different stations for them to enjoy..Me and the wife received our season passes for free for being veterans.

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!

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.

This was quite a place to take your family too. The souvenir shop is on the first floor, and the Crayola attractions are upstairs. There's playgrounds for children, a snack bar with collectible cups & buckets, a big coloring station with crayons, one with markers, a station for their air dry clay (tokens required for clay purchases), paint, crayon melting, Crayola history, photo op with Crayola Characters (right now it's with the Retired Colors), and even personalized crayon stations! There's so much to do, it's astounding. While directed mainly for a child audience there are things there for all Crayola fans of all ages. You can sit and color, make personalized coloring pages, take photos with the characters, games, food, attend a Crayola auditorium experience (I believe it was about the history of Crayola & their crayons, we didn't get to go to that as my little one enjoyed the playground more than anything else lol). Throughout the attraction level it has bits and pieces of Crayola's history and information about their products. Almost like a mini - museum of sorts. Upon entry you are giving a clear, Crayola bag with two tokens and one voucher for your choice of Scribble Scrubbies! The bags are to carry your momentos and artwork you create. This place is great for parents who want their kids to play somewhere that can also allow the parents to sit nearby and relax as the children play near them. It's nearing the end of summer break at the time of this posting, therefore it was insanely busy. However, I'd go back even without my child lol. I was a big Crayola kid growing up, as I drew, colored, and crafted a lot and still do now. It's because of the Limited Edition Retired Colors of 2025 for being why I'm taking this trip down memory lane for a bit of nostalgia. My only complaints were that it was insanely hot inside where you get admission for. All of our heads were wet from sweating. I do not know if it's naturally that warm or if an AC was out, but it was a bit uncomfortable in that sense. Also, the gift shop, while having a large selection of coloring, art, and collector's items, it didn't have a lot of the popular coloring products (such as specific crayons, markers, pencils). It also didn't have everything that the Retired Colors include for their line, just the basics: coloring book, packs, markers, pencils, some stickers, and Small-medium crayon packs. Basically, if you're looking for certain collection items just expect the selection to not be super big in the shop and do your research online. They do have the Pick Your Pack Crayon and Marker wall, though! Which also includes the Retired Colors you can add to your choice of tin. Overall, we got some great goodies and we had a lot of fun. I cannot wait to return!

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.

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"!!!🙌🏽🖐🏾🖐🏾

Had a great time at the park on Sunday with family. I was able to find free street parking and check out local vendors. In addition, a turtle was trying to dig a hole to lay eggs.

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.

I used to have an annual pass here, so I went a lot. Always had a great time, especially at the animal and insects exhibition. There have a lot of hands-on activities here. It’s great to bring your kids to learn about science!! My friend had a wedding here last year and it was well organized and beautiful. We had an amazing time!! We also went here for their OSC After Dark Halloween event. I was impressed with how organize they were! All the staffs were nice and there were a lot of activities. They also have an open bar here with a lot of drinks stations so there was no wait to get the drinks! The dance floor was full and music was good :) The only feedback I have is it should be longer since the event was only 3 hours long (8-11pm). But overall, we all had a great time and will be back next year.

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!

Had a great time spending a day here..one day is not enough to cover everything with the scheduled shows, experiences and all other activities throughout the building with four levels.. we even missed one of the levels because of all the activities during the day so upgraded the single day tickets to family membership at the end.. really worth paying for the tickets if going with kids..lot to learn and do for all ages together with lot of fun. Definitely going back soon to enjoy everything again..loved it!

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!

Our family had such a great time here. Highly recommend it! We were visiting from out of state and have a membership to our local science center. We used the ASTC Passport Program to get free general admission. Such a fantastic opportunity and program! The science center itself is beautiful. From the heart bridge walkway to the large tree in the middle of the building. The exhibits are fun and engaging, with instructions and explanations usually posted or on a nearby wall. The downstairs cafe has a good variety of food at reasonable prices. The live shows were exceptional. One in particular, Cool Science, reminded me of the kid’s show Emily’s Wonder Lab. The demonstrator for it was very knowledgeable, fun and enthusiastic. We can’t wait to come back here!

A great activity for younger children and lovers of science and nature. I definitely recommend an annual pass for locals as it will definitely pay for itself and comes with early access to kid zone, and parking. The rotating exhibits, events, and seasonal activities are awesome!

It's decent enough to kill some time and the kids enjoyed it. It's a little dated and the spaces are kind of cramped if you ever get in there with a large number of other people. Buy you're tickets in advance should you choose to visit. Because of how short the length of the tour is, it would be best to purchase a combo and do the wax museum or other attractions within the location as well

I went with my 2 adult kids and 2 preteen kids. We enjoyed all of the habitats and there were several hands on activities along the way. It's not a very big aquarium but if you take your time and really check out all the animals it can take about an hour to go through it all. In my opinion, I feel that the cost of admission is a bit higher than what it's worth when comparing other aquariums like Ripley's in Gatlinburg and the one at Newport on the Levee. Overall it was something fun to do on a rainy day.

Pros: upon entry, the aquarium looks small, but inside it is huge! The rooms are easy flow. We went in at open and there was very little crowd. The fish look happy and healthy - you will see a large variety separated by area on the globe! Axoltyls, sharks, sea turtles, nori, starfish, jellies, and more! We paid $5 to feed the Nori fish and it was so fun! The facility, including the bathrooms, is clean. Cons: the ladies at the ticket booth and the entrance were rude and disinterested. The touch pool at the end of the aquarium, NEEDS more people supervising. I saw multiple children abuse the anemone and starfish and had to step in myself. This is a cashless facility, which I think is a little insane considering cash is legal tender - I almost didn't buy a ticket as a result.

One star off since they force you to take two pictures as soon as you walk in even if you tell them no. The parking can be tricky. Use the garage and walk (you have to pay 20 dollars if you use the lower level garage). If you have trouble finding the aquarium you can ask an employee working at one of the booths. Go a little early so you have time for all of this. The aquarium itself is great. Bathrooms are located throughout, but the womens were completely out of soap in all dispensers. There is germ ex posted on the walls throughout the aquarium. There are tons of even cooler fish there, but the pictures here are the ones I took. I was too busy watching them all to take pictures of the others (they were great. Especially the huge turtles). They also have options to touch the starfish and some others if you choose to (be careful. The water is cold and they don't warn you.) The gift shop isn't as pricey as I was expecting, but still a little expensive for what the things are.

Fun place to spend the afternoon! It takes about 1.5-2 hours if you look at every exhibit. They do have an underwater tunnel which is super cool! We especially loved the turtles, massive stingrays, and of course, SHARKS! 🦈

This place was a ton of fun, I went during healthcare month and got a free entry. I thought this was very thoughtful for a place to do that for nurses and other hesitate workers. We spent hours here as adults. We are huge ocean enthusiast, divers, and into ecology so if adults can have fun kids will definitely enjoy this aquarium too.

I've been to many aquariums around the country, and this one was definitely one of the best. Large tanks with fish and sharks and you can go through them with a tunnel and see them swimming around you. Lots of displays, lots of info, lots of fun photo opportunities for kids. Highly recommend!

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! 🌟

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.

As a Disney fan and a tourist I just love Disney Springs. There’s so much to do, to eat and to shop, just an incredible destination. There are over hundreds brands, including Disney merchandise store, a cocacola store, AMC, Lululemon, Superdry, Coach, and even a Uniqlo. There are activities like mirror maze, escape room, balloon ride, carousel and boat rides. There several restaurants of different cuisine and style all across Disney Springs. My favorite one is Salt and Straw. Their ice cream is so good. For regular restaurants, the ones I dined in had mediocre food. There are multiple stalls and small stores selling small bites, snacks and drinks too. The parking is here. They have two different lot, the orange that in at the AMC/Cocacola side. The other one is Lemon lot, sort of in the middle close to Uniqlo and Disney world. It’s highly secured as all guests go through metal detectors and bag checks. Security personnel also walk around to ensure visitors safety. The whole area is super clean. The ponds have turquoise water. Feels incredible to walk around. The prices of food and other goods are higher as expected since it’s a tourist destination. But that doesn’t stop people from shopping as everyone is excited to get their hands unique Disney merchandise and products. The shops like Uniqlo and Lululemon carry limited edition Disney products that I haven’t seen anywhere else. We spent half a day here and it still wasn’t enough. We will visit again whenever we are back in Orlando in future.

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.

Lovely place! It’s very big so please take the map to enjoy the full experience. You can walk around, it’s very peaceful and the coffee inside was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it. Bathrooms are pretty good too, they have one at the entry and another one in the gardens, in the Cottage area. Very clean. Lovely pictures!

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous. Over 15,000 square feet of lush gardens and fun activities for everyone. Definitely recommend the rose and tropical gardens! All of their gardens are beautiful and well-maintained by the staff and volunteers. We also enjoyed the tour of the homestead which I would highly recommend! They gave an incredible timeline and walkthrough of the home and history of the garden. Would absolutely go back and would recommend this to any travel-goers near the Orlando area!

I recommend this park! I love nature and walking. My husband invited me, but I didn't know where we were going. It was a warm autumn day. There weren't many people around. We walked for many hours, looking at the plants, relaxing on the benches, and talking. It's a shame the museum was closed that day. I love learning the history of the place I'm in, pieces of history about the lives of the people who lived there and created this place.

Went here for a visit with my boyfriend, and at the time they were holding a themed scavenger hunt, which guided you through the park and led you to a treasure chest! Extremely beautiful place, all plants are labeled carefully and the terrain is not hard, so most levels of walkers/slow joggers can have fun here! There is some (avoidable) uphill incline and boarded walkways for those with accessibility/wheelchair concerns. Most areas are shaded and there is a beautiful, vintage styled rose garden with a fountain. Overall, all ages would find something to wonder at here. Admission is not extremely pricey, so make sure to check this out if you’re in the Orlando area!

Absolutely lovely garden filled with birds and butterflies. I felt this garden was inspiring and beautiful. I highly recommend!!! ❤️ Located just minutes from downtown Orlando, Harry P. Leu Gardens is truly a hidden gem and a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. As soon as I stepped through the gates, I was surrounded by a lush, tropical landscape that felt both calming and rejuvenating. The pathways wind through beautifully maintained gardens, each section offering something unique—from rose gardens bursting with color and fragrance to towering camellias and serene shaded areas under centuries-old oak trees draped in Spanish moss. I saw an incredible variety of birds during my walk, and butterflies flitted between the blooms, adding to the almost magical atmosphere. The gardens are well-labeled, so you can actually learn about the different species as you stroll, which made the experience even more engaging. The historic Leu House Museum is also worth a visit while you're there, giving you a glimpse into the area's history and the family that once lived on the property. Whether you're a plant lover, a photographer, or just looking for a quiet place to reflect, this garden is a must-visit. I left feeling relaxed, inspired, and connected to nature.

Amazing!!! The Leu Gardens is remarkably lush, peaceful and serene. The grounds are well maintained with paved walkways throughout. We were pleasantly surprised at how large the gardens actually are (and there are numerous benches, to relax and enjoy the surroundings). The staff was courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. Highly recommended.

I recently visited Harry P Leu Gardens while searching for a possible location to host an outdoor event—and I was absolutely blown away by the beauty and tranquility of this place. From the moment you enter, you’re surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and winding paths that seem to transport you out of the city and into a peaceful oasis. The gardens offer a variety of stunning settings for events, from expansive open lawns and romantic rose gardens to intimate shaded nooks under towering oaks and palms. Each space feels thoughtfully maintained and uniquely beautiful, offering flexibility for both large gatherings and more personal affairs. One of my favorite spots was the floral clock area—so picturesque and peaceful, with a perfect blend of sunlight and shade. The rose garden, with its charming arches and colorful blooms, would be an unforgettable backdrop for a wedding or vow renewal. Even the lakeside spots are serene, with reflections of trees dancing on the water and the occasional heron adding a touch of magic. The entire property has a calming energy. Despite being right in the heart of Orlando, it feels private, secluded, and ideal for a meaningful celebration. You can tell the staff take great pride in maintaining this natural sanctuary. If you’re planning a special outdoor event, I highly recommend touring Leu Gardens. It’s more than just a venue—it’s an experience.

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. 😁

Welcome to « Delay » universe ! We came from France to spend a week in Orlando, our whole vacation has been organised around our visit to this Park … What a huge disappointment ! First, I think this Park was definitely not ready for opening. As soon as you step into an attraction, you know you have a 50% chance it will break, waiting for hours in a line with no access at the end…. We came at early entry as we were staying on site and mariokart ride was delayed the full hour while we were on the line : we lost all benefits of the early entry. Second, there were even attractions that did not open during the full day !!! For example the Untrainable dragon show. After we made this whole trip for France and being a huge fan of this franchise, I can’t tell you how we were disappointed to not see it. The worst thing is that we spent our day coming back in front of the show, waiting on the Line 10 to 30mn, so that the show would be announced as cancelled ! Third, the staff… I know we can’t expect Disney service everywhere, but I never saw such sad and disrespectful employees in a while. Expect no guest service here, they feel so distressed by all the delays and cancellations and not sure they’re Happy to work here. In conclusion, we expected so much from this new Park and made a trip from France for this, and we have never been disappointed at this level.. 120 to 240 waiting times, and even with express passes, you find yourself stuck in mines 60mn+ with all delays and cancellations happening. For the massive Price we paid, we even did not see the biggest show on the Park as it has been cancelled all day 😩😭😭 we are now coming back to Europe and will never have the Opportunity to see it …Thank you Universal to have ruined our vacation.

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.

I usually don’t go to places like this but we had the opportunity due to an event. To me it seemed to be a bunch of buildings with not much to them. There were a lot of gift shop and restaurants around the park. Most rides were great to go on. I just wish the signs were better to see. Most signs had a lot of small print and not easy to see when groups of people are around them. I recommend coming in the cooler months. The heat of summer is too much with all of the concrete.

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!

We had so much fun here! Ripley’s is way bigger inside than it looks, and every room has something wild to look at. The exhibits are super interactive — from the mission control games to the “weird pet” creator — and the kids were locked in the whole time. They have a mix of real fossils, oddities, hands-on screens, and cool art pieces (that giant driftwood sculpture is crazy in person). Everything was clean, easy to walk through, and well labeled so you actually understand what you're looking at. If you’re in Orlando and want something fun, different, and indoors for the family, this is definitely worth a stop. Something for everybody and you’ll take a million pictures.

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!

It was my birthday and I decided to go to the museum of illusions in Orlando and Disney Springs and let me just tell you it was just absolutely 10 out of 10 mind-boggling my mother and I had such a fun time we had to ask some people for some help to really understand what to do but in the end we had thousands of pictures hundreds of smiles and loads of giggles that last lifetime this place is such a fun spot. Bring definitely go here for your birthday. Bring your family friends

It was interesting, but crowded. Kind of a small space. A few large groups made exploring everything difficult. I think if the " guides" were assigned to groups, and they staggered entry, that it would be more enjoyable and you'd get to check it all out. Plus the guides could help with photos and info. They spent more time standing and talking to each other. We did have one help stage for a picture. He was nice.

The museum is fun.You have to take time to explore and read the instruction on each one. Prepare to take great photos. The museum is small. You can park for free in the garage. Free valley parking for tip. There are other things around there to explore if you have more time.

I visited the Museum of Illusions in Orlando with a group of friends and we had such a great time. The exhibits were interactive, creative, and full of unexpected surprises that kept us entertained the entire way through. It’s one of those places where you can really let loose, laugh, and enjoy the moment and the photo ops are endless. Whether you’re going with friends, on a date, or looking for something fun to do with family, this spot is a solid choice. It’s well organized, easy to navigate, and offers a unique experience that’s different from your typical attraction in the area. Definitely worth checking out.

We had an absolute blast at the Museum of Illusions Orlando! Everything was so fun and interactive-it honestly made us feel like kids again. The exhibits were incredible, and we couldn't stop laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time. This is definitely a must-visit spot, and l'd recommend everyone experience it at least once!

My friend brought me to the Museum of Illusions for my 40th birthday! I had so much fun taking silly pictures and looking at the illusions! Even better was the amazing staff! All of them were friendly and willing to help us take amazing photos 📸 Harrison, Angelo, and Dana made our experience special and fun!

Really cool little museum! Friendly and helpful staff! Nice flow with plenty of space for everyone to see each exhibit. Plan for 1.5 hours if you try each puzzle and do group photos. Free parking is close. Lots of fun in that immediate area!

This is a most shaded, well marked, maintained trail free of entrance, with full restrooms & water refill stations. hidden right in the middle of Orlando’s theme parks It offering an educational program costs $2 for wildlife & vegetarian right next to the entryway. As 08/17/25 partially trail are closed. I looped the 3 miles trail a few times it still doesn’t get boring, trails are a mix of grass, sand, dirt, & the elevation is about 9 feet, in a 100 degree heat relatively an easy hike. I had an amazing time with the weather gave me everything from sunshine to clouds then heavy rain that started pouring just as I reached the gate.

Tibet-Butler Nature Preserve has beautiful trails, and a lovely education center. The trails are well maintained, with maps and directions readily available. Paper maps are available to carry with you, and posted signs tell you which direction will take you to which trail. It is easy for the trails to muddy due to rain, and can several days before they dry completely so be mindful of the weather and your footwear. There isn’t much room on either side of the path to step around the puddles should you visit on a muddy day. No shop on premises with water or snacks, but the public restrooms have a water fountain and water bottle refill station. There is a little free library in the picnic area, along with a sandbox for the kids.

The nature preserve has wide trails with a mix of sun and shade. There is an air conditioned center featuring nature exhibits. They have restrooms and free parking. Bikes and dogs are not allowed on trails. This is a great spot for kids!

Beautiful place, nice trails, cool visitors center. Loved seeing the tortoises. Very peaceful, even on a weekend. Parts of the trail can be wet, so if you’re visiting when it’s been raining plan your shoes accordingly.

Great little park. Easy access if you have a car and you’re in the Disney World area. I visited in September so it gets quite hot by late morning. Very cool and different environments right next to each other. Took pictures of lots of wildflowers and also ran into a gopher tortoise. Bring water on your hike and take a break at the Osprey overlook.

Welcome to a slice of nature buried in the middle of the suburbs. My son and I just got back from this Preserve and I have to say, it was gorgeous. First you have the welcome center that has all kinds of educational material inside include two adolescent alligators. You can learn about the songs of frogs and what happens when lightning hits a forest. There is a tortoise and gopher turtle that live at the center. Then you embark on your journey on the hiking trails. Get a map and take lots of photos. It was cool and shaded on most trails and they have a water bottle refill station.

Came here with my 4 year old for a break from all the Orlando crowds, and we had a great time! The trails are all very wide and flat and easy for a 4 year old to walk without getting tired. He also had a great time in and was very engaged by the education center, which had many buttons to push and things to learn. The trails are easy to walk, well marked, and included educational signage as well. We look forward to visiting again when we are back in Florida!

This was a field trip for our homeschool group. What an amazing experience. The demonstration was awesome, the STEM class was fun, and of course, flying was incredible. The ages ranged from 4- 35. Was a great experience for all. The kids loved it so much we purchased flights for another day.

1 min of soaring at $35+ (cheapest deal with a summer saver online) and you get 2 rides for about $70. They try their best to selll you a high ride and more rides when you show up. But if you are a first time flyer, you may not like the experience hence my recommendation is not to take it. I wish they had a 15 sec trial run to give you a feel of the experience. The first ride pretty much went in trying getting used to th me posture and other things. And it was only the second ride that you we could enjoy. Terrible disappointment with this aspect hence the low rating Other that that the ibstructir was friendly. Overall a good experience, pro labor kit returning because this is not for us.

A TOTAL BLAST!! I felt free and would definitely do it again! I wish there was one locally. The instructor was great! He made us feel safe and fearless. Had a great time.

I came for a field trip, me and my friends had fun but for 50 dollars we only got ONE MINUTE of flying. Overall the experience was great but I woudnt go again

We came in as a group of four, including two apprehensive first-time flyers. We had an amazing time at iFly Orlando thanks to our incredible instructor, Tray! Tray’s patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm made all the difference. From start to finish, he made sure we were comfortable, safe, and most importantly, having fun! Even though we were nervous, we went for the high flight- and it was so awesome- I recommend you go for it, it’s totally worth it!! Thanks Tray for going above and beyond to make our experience awesome! 😎

This was our first ifly experience and we had the best time! It was myself, my 18 year old son, and 12 year old daughter. From start to finish everyone was amazing and welcoming and friendly. It is pretty expensive and a quick fly but they make it memorable. Tray was our fly master and was funny and made us all feel comfortable. .

I highly recommend doing this. It was such a great experience. The staff was great. And Jayden did such a fantastic job with our group. He used the right amount of humor to take the edge down for you to learn and remember the instructions.

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.

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

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!

I had a fantastic time a Universal! My only complaint would be that every single ride sprays you with water. I want to know what study was done or who decided that to make a simulator ride more immersive you need to have the ride sneeze on the riders. But whoever did, I have some questions for. Jokes aside, the attention to detail of the different themed sections are unreal. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the entire park. My crew got through about 21 different rides/experiences staying from open till close. We definitely got lucky with the crowds our day and of course waited 105 minutes for Hagrid’s magical creature ride. But overall, so much fun!

Like a dream come true! Finally getting to see Harry Potter diagon alley was amazing. Loved all the other lands. Having express passes is definitely recommended! Especially if you're going to park hop. We had breakfast at the leaky Cauldron and it was delicious.

I decided to go on a whim and it was fantastic. Always fun at Universal and slands of Adventure. Went on the E.T ride, haven't been since I was kid and still loved it. i enjoyed all the rides I went on. Highly recommend getting the premier pass.

Trinity and Charlotte were our game masters and they were the absolutely sweetest!!! We completed all four games at the Tamp Escape Games and would loved every second in the rooms!! My favorite were the Depth and Cosmic Crisis but ALL rooms were amazing and put together so well!!! The BIGGEST thank you to trinity and charlotte for helping us with a few clues and being apart of the fun🥰 if you’re thinking about trying their rooms - just do it. You won’t regret a single second

Leanna was such an amazing game guide and a kind person in general. My friends & I did prison break and we were able to escape. It was hard but super exciting and with the help of some clues we broke free! Laura was also very kind helping us check out after the game since we bought a shirt. Would definitely recommend this location & I will be going back to ask if Leanna could be my game guide again!

Sunshine is the absolute best! We had so much fun at the gold rush escape room! It was extremely well themed and just the right amount of difficulty! Sunshine was so sweet and made something personal for us to remember this great experience! We will definitely be back!!! Daniel at the front desk was super friendly too, just the best staff ever!!! I’d give 10 stars if I could!

We traveled to orlando for a vacation to do just escape rooms and we tryed this company. At first we were leary because you can be booked with strangers but we just went in and booked a room that was empty last minute and was just us. Im so glad that we gave them a try because there rooms were so fun and challenging with very good props and decorations. Staff were all friendly and helpful. We tryed gold rush, yeti, special ops, and the depths. Cant wait to come back next year and finish the rest of the games.

alec at the front desk was amazing super accommodating and great energy. we loved him. our group guide parker also had great energy and was very helpful when it came to giving clues. we had a great experience overall

This location is amazing! We did the 'Playground' theme and it was one of the best designed room out there! The theme is on point and the attention to detail made it really immersive. There were even puzzles in the restrooms! 😱 The check in person, Alec was extremely friendly and super helpful! Our game master/helper was Parker and she was also awesome! Guided us through areas where we were stuck and was really friendly. The experience was great! Keep up the great work!

We did the Playground advanced reservation for 9:40am. We're the first ones there, got a little early and waited, which was fine because the TV had some practice puzzles we could play on our phone which was cool! The boys even liked the sticker they got for finishing one. Staff was very friendly and kind and Sunshine was the absolute best and vital to helping us Escape. We went with 2 adults and 2 kids (11 and 9 about to be 10). Which is younger than the recommended age but the Playground was perfect for them and honestly liked testing their skills and helping them through it. They loved the up and down climbing around and physicality of the games, and the adults liked having the kids do the dirty work. 😁🤣. Love the set up, and the multiple rooms. And loved having Sunhines of our lives helping us whenever we needed it the unlimited hints is vital for first timers or with kids. Loved the bounce back offer and got some giftcards for a future use, weither I do it with my family again or some friends once my family leaves. Might have gotten me addicted and want to see what the other rooms are like!

We flew across the country to go to Universal. We went to Islands of Adventure the first day and Epic today. It was me and my husband and I thought we had prepped for a great kid-free trip. The park is visually stunning. It's clean and there are plenty of staff members to help with your every need. I also appreciate that they have covered/cool areas to stand under in line - that is thoughtful. The lines are absolutely ridiculous. 4 1/2 hour wait for the Harry Potter ride. We were in the park for over 5 hours and rode two rides. The two with the shortest wait times were the Frankenstein ride and the Warewolf coaster - both disappointments - which is probably why the lines were so short. While I now understand why people are forced to spend 2-5 days at the parks - it now makes sense that is the only way you can wait to go to your can't miss rides. I wish I would've just skipped this park and spent a second day at IOA, at least there are 2 great coasters there. It was a complete waste of money and a bummer that they close earlier when it happens to rain most of the afternoon and the rides are delayed due to weather.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This is the BEST amusement park we’ve been to in the USA so far and we highly recommend it! We bought regular admission tickets and managed to get on every ride we wanted to with minimal wait times (except Hargrid’s Motorbike - which we expected to wait an hour for that and it was WELL worth the wait). The velocicoaster was THE BEST in the park. Unbelievable ride - so fast and such great views. The Hulk was awesome, along with the Spider man ride, and the Jurassic park River ride. Harry Potter world was my absolute favorite. I’m a super fan and have been my whole life so this was a dream come true to visit this park! The castle was so beautifully designed along with Hogsmeade village. My daughter got a once in a lifetime experience at Olivander’s wand shop and was the chosen one during one of their shows. Such an amazing core memory for all of us. The butter beer was DEADLY - we had 4 of them by the end of the afternoon 😂 Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride was PHENOMENAL. What a great way to use both VR and real life props to bring the world to life. Walking through the castle to get to the ride was so cool - the talking portraits were amazing and they really brought the world to life throughout the entire walk and ride. Cannot say enough great things about this park. We would absolutely return if we go back to visit the parks down there again!

Out of the Universal parks in Orlando, Islands of Adventure still has the most fun stuff to do. That being said, the wait times, especially for the new Harry Potter ride (hagrid's magical creatures motorbike adventure) are UNBELIEVABLY long. My friend and I thought coming here on a Wednesday in October (during the school year) would mean shorter lines, but every roller coaster had a minimum 1 hour wait. We didn't go on the Hagrid's ride because the estimated wait time was 240 mins... Yes, that's right. 4 HOURS! How can they sell so many tickets that every ride can have such a ridiculously long wait? All the rides we made it onto were fun, but you can't help but ask yourself if a few minutes of fun is worth hours of waiting around uncomfortably in the Florida heat and humidity with no A/C, limited shade, and nowhere to sit. Not to mention how expensive the tickets are now. Plus the food and merchandise costs. I'm struggling to understand why this is fun. The only way you can actually enjoy this park is to buy the express pass. Which, again, is crazy expensive. But without it, you might as well be throwing the ticket money into the trash.

We rope dropped because we were doing both Islands of Adventure & universal studios (which I recommend getting the park hopper pass so you can ride the Hogwarts express). Hogsmead is so adorable and a dream come true as a Harry Potter fan. The rides were amazing. I recommend getting express passes if you can. It definitely beats waiting in line and using your valuable park time doing things you enjoy.

Very awesome theme park! Lots of fun attractions and areas to visit. Lines are long for certain rides like Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, but that's because it's a pretty cool ride. Like any great ride, expect lines and wait times to be long unless you have an express pass or beat the rush in the early morning. Wait times averaged 2-3 hours for this ride. Suess Landing is a great place for younger children, though some rides that you think would be fine for the smallest of kids still required a height requirement of 36 inches. The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride (understandable I suppose) as well as the Cat in the Hat ride (come on now...) were two that really surprised me for having a requirement. But hey, safety is safety. One Fish Two Fish is a huge hit for younger children and toddlers as well as the Caro-Seuss-el (Merry-Go-Round) that have no requirement other than needing a ride companion. Water rides are available and are quite fun throughout Toon Lagoon. Food was good. Offerings like Cinnabon and Auntie Anne's Pretzels are favorites for our family. The Chili Cheese Fries in one of the Lost Continent's food booths were quite good too! And of course, the Hogsmeade Butter Beer from Harry Potter was fantastic, as always! Getting into the park in the morning isn't too hard, though if you go early, you can expect a small wait time to enter the park upon opening. Otherwise, entering the park at almost any other time throughout the day is pretty quick. Great place for families with children ages 3-18 I'd say.

Universal Islands of adventure is a fun place for all ages. If you are staying in one of the hotels, remember that islands of adventure opens 1 hour early for hotel guests. Arrive at the park early where comfortable shoes, and expect to spend the entire day at the park. I would suggest that you go to Mythos restaurant for an enjoyable dinner, food is wonderful, service is fantastic and in my opinion, is a much more expensive than any other restaurant in the park.

I always love Islands of adventure! The Hulk is always my first stop... well after eating lunch in the City walk! Couple rides were down during our visit, which was a bummer, but then I think safety first. So, if me missing a few roller-coaster rides helps someone else go home safe, then it's worth it!

Fun place to visit. I took a lot of pictures throughout on my own. There are models of superheroes, movie actors, singers, and sports players. It was a long passage of models, so you definitely get your money's worth. I just wish there was more to it. It's a tunnel of a lot of models, but it would be nice to see more, or maybe get a deeper history lesson on the particular models. Still a fun place to stop if you get the chance. I got in for free with my teacher's Merlin pass, so look at your options before you pay the full price. Kids will enjoy coming here and seeing the models.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited Madame Tussauds Orlando and had such a fun experience! The wax museum is amazing, with so many famous figures that look incredibly real. We loved taking pictures and exploring each room. It’s a perfect place to visit with family, laugh, and enjoy a different kind of activity. Totally recommended! 📸🤩👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Very good place if you want to see all big celebrities and famous scientist, politician. All are here. One can go and explore all places which is absolutely very good. Worthy place to visit. Best to take a combo ticket for This place, Eye, Sea aquarium.

What an amazing experience! The staff is so kind & knowledgeable. I had no idea how much work went into building these creations. The entire process reminds me of the show Face Off. I wonder if they rotate pieces - cuz I'll go back to see the new ones!

THIS ATTRACTION IS WORTH IT! We had a blast taking pictures with all the “celebrities” and this is definitely a spot meant to generate a lot of photo opportunities. Come with a fully charged camera/phone! It will definitely be a memorable experience!

Love Love this place I try to visit in every city I go to. This is nicer one Definitely love the Dark Knight exhibit. Almost too scary to walk through it. My pics aren't that great. The Hollywood room is cool as is the sports room

I thought this would be ridiculously lame or not enjoyable. Only because you only hear about the bad wax figures. However, this was so fun. We took so many pictures. I love the props that allow you to interact with the figures. I definitely would visit again. And I can’t wait to visit other locations!!

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!

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.

ICON Park Orlando is such a fun and vibrant spot! There’s a great mix of attractions, restaurants, and nightlife all in one place. The Orlando Eye (now called The Wheel) offers amazing views of the city — especially at sunset — and the whole area feels clean, safe, and easy to explore. There are plenty of food options, from quick bites to nice sit-down spots, and it’s perfect for families, couples, or a night out with friends. Parking is free and super convenient too, which is a big plus in Orlando! I’d definitely recommend visiting in the evening when everything lights up — the atmosphere is beautiful and there’s always some live music or entertainment happening. A great stop whether you’re a local or just visiting!

Réal and the team at Nona Adventure Park made hosting our group event here a breeze! The weather was gorgeous and they were so kind to check on us regularly for drinks and service but mindful to not to interfere. Everyone was very sweet and accommodating and the space was just what we needed for an informal social gathering. Having the option to open or close the garage doors depending on weather, etc made the space awesome as well as having some comfortable couch seating some low tables, and some high top tables for variety and options. Though we didn't need it, there were screen and A/V options available that could be great for future events. Having the kitchen available for food was another bonus. We definitely plan to return and look forward to coming back for their social events as well like the sunset evenings and more. Thanks for a great experience!

So much fun! Amazing service every step of the way! The kids (preteens) had a great time on the adventure park while the adults enjoyed lunch and drinks on the patio. Excellent value for what you get. We were visiting from Colorado, but next time we are in Orlando, we will be sure to stop by!

Nona Adventure Park is an absolute blast for the whole family! We had an amazing time at Nona Adventure Park! My kids tried the cable wakeboarding for the first time and had a blast—it was challenging but so much fun! The aqua park is so much fun perfect for adventurous kids (and adults!). The staff was friendly and safety-focused, and the whole place was clean and well-run. Great way to spend the day outdoors and burn off some energy. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place to bring your family! They have a cool water sports area with a pully system for wake boarding or kneeboarding. A huge outdoor obstacle course and an inflatable one in the water. We loved the beach area with real sand and cabanas you can rent. Perfect for a hot summer day. The owner was here too and he is super nice. Highly recommend!

Nona Adventure Park is such a special place in Orlando! The water park course is thrilling, safe, and so much fun for all ages — like a giant floating playground that keeps you laughing and challenged at the same time. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and makes sure everyone feels comfortable from start to finish. On top of the adventure, we were blessed to experience the Christian Market held on the grounds. It was truly beautiful — filled with uplifting music, joyful fellowship, and a sense of community you don’t find everywhere. The worship and message created such a positive atmosphere, turning a fun day into something even more meaningful. It was wonderful to see faith and family come together in such a vibrant way. The combination of exciting activities, a clean and safe environment, and the joy of the Christian Market made this a day we’ll never forget. Highly recommend Nona Adventure Park not only for the adventure but also for the heart behind the community they’re building.

I live in Lake Nona and I was very excited to take my son for the first time here. 1st the lady at the front look annoyed, no direction was given as far as where to go, what to do, etc. I had to ask the lifeguard, and he explained is by hour and group of people, 45 minutes in total at the inflatable water park. Unfortunately, didn’t like it that much. Was not impressed.

This is an updated review! We had such a fantastic experience at Nona Adventure Park! We started with the Learn to Wake lesson, and I can’t recommend it enough!! Raph was an incredible instructor—so patient, encouraging, and great at explaining the technique in a way that was easy to understand, especially for beginners like us. He made us feel comfortable right away and gave each of us individual attention to help us succeed. His calm and supportive teaching style really set the tone for an awesome first day on the water. After our lesson, we were hooked! We decided to buy the membership, and I really appreciate how flexible it is—no extra fees if we decide to pause or cancel. That kind of freedom makes it so much easier to commit. Both of my sons absolutely love it here. My 15-year-old wants to wakeboard every single day, and my 10-year-old is obsessed with kneeboarding and paddleboarding. They also have a blast at the aqua park, which is basically a floating playground and perfect for burning off energy. As a parent, I’m just so happy to have found a place where we can spend time together, outdoors, being active, and making memories. It’s such a relief to see my boys off their screens and instead doing something physical, fun, and confidence-building. We’re looking forward to many more days at Nona Adventure Park! Even more bonuses—there’s a sweet little beach area that’s perfect for my 4-year-old, plus a bouncy house on weekends and a fun playground that keeps him entertained. The pizza is housemade, and the crust and sauce are genuinely delicious—you can tell it’s not your typical concession stand food. We also love the variety of food vendors that rotate through the park, offering something new each time we visit. It truly feels like there’s something for everyone here. Thank you NAP for improving the Aqua Park!

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 🎃 🤪

I'm pretty sure anything you want to eat can be found here. Surprisingly the prices are on par with restaurants outside of the resort area. Atleast they are compared to NY and NJ. It looks incredible too. Especially when the sun goes down and the lights come on. The mini golf course is impressive though that was expensive.

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.

A nice way to spend the day if you want to browse though something different than the universal parks. Lots of food options and stores. It does get crowded. I enjoy the evening atmosphere with food and music.

Well, what an experience this was! This location is absolutely NOTHING like the Melbourne location, it's 1000 times better! Yesterday 9-14-2025 I had an experience to remember. From the very beginning I was greeted very promptly and even got to speak with the manager (not that I needed to) but I was waiting for the counter lady to come out from the backroom and I let the manager know up front that it was my first time at this location. I actually went Saturday but it was so busy and didn't want to wait in a long line. I'm not a fan of long lines. Anyway I went back Sunday and the manager that engaged conversation thoroughly explained all the pricing and packages very well. I just felt so welcomed here and even the counter lady was super nice and happy! Everyone was so happy and it was just an amazing experience. Now for the track. The track I was on gave me the ultimate challenge but I like that. I love challenge especially cornering. The karts are definitely uniquely designed and the slick track definitely makes you think twice about speeding into corners 🤣 I went solo on this trip to Orlando but I will DEFINITELY be back with friends and we'll spend the whole day next time. As I type this I can't wait to go back! I didn't get counter lady's name or the manager but I'm sure if either of them see this they'll remember me! ATMOSPHERE WAS TOP NOTCH!

Our first time, and it was great! Go karts, virtual reality, so many arcade games- there really is something for everyone. The staff was so friendly and helpful. One of the arcade games stopped working while I was playing and they had someone come fix it so quickly! This place was a highlight of our trip!

This place is pretty awesome. Electric indoor go-kart tracks for all ages. Bowling alley. Arcade and Skill games. Virtual reality. Multiple player racing games. Restaurant on the lower level, bar on the top level. A bit on the expensive side so search online for discounts but the place is well worth going too. You will have fun. Remember it’s all inside a huge air conditioned building.

Tha was my first time there, we usually go to top golf! The place is huge, they do offer indoor Karting (has option for Kids and Adults) they are electric. We didn't race, but we did play bowling (can I call it bowling?, well, they do call bowling) but no whole into the balls and small balls, like bocce. The arcade machines are OK, should have more options to play together and less crappie bear machines or ticket ones! It's a fun place, even with that micro bowling

Kids had a blast. Multiple different age appropriate kart racing tracks. Family friendly. Lots of arcade options. Racing simulations. Laser tag and more on premises. Friendly staff. Lots of birthday parties held. Food on site. Bar on site. Lots of tvs for sporting events and watch parties. Free parking.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Andretti Indoor Karting & Games Orlando! From start to finish, everything was seamless, well-organized, and stress-free. Patricia, the manager, welcomed us with such patience and professionalism. She walked us through our schedule, made sure everything was clear, and truly set the tone for the day. Chy from the events department was phenomenal—she guided my daughter and her friends to each activity, always with kindness, patience, and attention to detail. She answered all of our questions with ease and made sure everyone felt comfortable and cared for. Jose, our bartender, was outstanding as well—friendly, attentive, and always available when we needed him. His service really added to the overall experience. We never felt lost or left with questions—every staff member went above and beyond to cater to us. It made the whole day smooth, fun, and memorable. Thank you, Patricia, Chy, and Jose, for making our celebration truly special!

This place is big!!!! Indoor gokarts, ducking bowling, arcade and redemption games. Lots to do. Reasonably priced. Food was decent, but the service was extremely poor. Had to wait 30 minutes just to get the check!

What an amazing museum. I am a lover of everything glass and this place blew me away! The care and detail shown to restoring pieces (and entire rooms) is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I'm sure LC Tiffany is very pleased to see his art live on and be enjoyed. I will be back!

Impressive museum with magnificent artwork and fascinating history, but I am a frequent museum attendant and have never experienced such intrusive security guards. I felt as though my personal space was encroached upon multiple times and like I always had eyes on me. We still thoroughly enjoyed our visit, but I can definitely see how it’s thrown others off. The peacefulness of museums is paramount to me and the interferences made it a little tough to feel serene and impeded my ability to immerse myself. I doubt I would return due to this. There is also not enough in the museum to justify multiple trips anyway—we were able to soak in what was available during the few hours we were there, and we read practically everything. Despite all my grumbling above, it was a lovely stop and I would highly recommend to anybody looking for some beautiful art and history in the area.

I loved this museum! The Tiffany glass collection was amazing and so were the other pieces showcased. There's free parking for the museum and a giftshop as you exit. They have the miniature version of some of the Tiffany lamps. The bathroom was super cleaned and the place and surroundings are well kept. The entrance fee was $6 for adults. I will definitely go back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Morse Museum. The collection of Tiffany art was spectacular and we learned so much!! Take your time as you meander through the variety of galleries. I highly recommend the experience.

I grew up in Winter Park but this was our first time going to the Morse museum. To hear the stories of Tiffany and the beautiful artwork was pretty amazing. I really enjoyed this experience with my family.

I truly enjoyed my visit at this museum.. from the outside it looked small I thought reason for $6 entry fee BUT not at all!!! They have spectacular exhibits of glass stain art!!! The Tiffany collections are absolutely beautiful the jewelry illustration exhibits were absolutely stunning and everything was well displayed plenty of room to browse and sit around to take it all in. My FAV part was the cathedral absolutely breathtaking. Plenty to see & definitely beautiful museum to strike a pose. Lovely museum for sure … highly recommended especially for the admission price so worth it✨

Afternoon at Tiffany's parking on upper floors across the street. Great samples of artisans and great works large and small. The story of this creative family is presented.

So fun. I love titanic and learning all about it so I loved the experience. Student discount price. Went on a Thursday and u was the only guest there. There were some workers walking around dressed up as passengers and in character so that was so fun. So many artifacts to look at. Layout was so fun with recreated rooms. Could take pictures except in front of the staircase where there was a photographer to capture a photo but it normally costs money. I was able to get a free photo by signing up for the app. Fun little gift shop at the end too!

The ONLY negative was waiting for certain areas to be accessed. Great presentation. Did learn quite a bit. Was not impressed with the drink selections (adult or otherwise). Some people's food (steak) was completely unacceptable where mine was perfect. ALL of the performers were well versed and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this dinner and show.

Nice birthday getaway. Great company. Actors is great abd approachable. You don't need to do the exhibition if you are doing the dinner gala. Bring a shawl as the iceberg room and the one before it is cold.

One of my most favorite places to visit while on holiday, from the artifacts to the grand staircase to the wonderful actor who plays his character so well on informing us of so much we didn't know regarding the Titanic. It was emotional and very well put together. I would definitely recommend this for a place to spend a few hours. Absolutely beautiful ❤️ I've only posted a few photos as I don't want to ruin the experience for others.

We Had a stellar visit at the exhibit. It's amazing to see the history behind the funding and building of the ship. It's story is beyond belief. To think that so many people thought so highly of It's grandeur without one shadow of doubt in their minds. To put so much trust in man-made ships in that era was mind boggling to witness 2nd hand. This exhibit immerses you in the experience. You walk in and are handed a boarding pass which has an actual passenger name and details. Make sure you take the time to see what became of them. (Whether they survived or not). It was neat to bear witness to preserved artifacts and replicas of certain aspects of the ship. To see and feel an inkling of what those passengers experienced is a must! The difference in not only the service they received but the materials used in the different traveling classes and levels was crazy! The food menus, the China, even the flooring and tile. Can you imagine not having a bathroom in your cabin? Hop aboard the Titanic in Orlando and just get a small glimpse of what daily life was like in that time frame!

Very nice museum with plenty of history and artifacts for a tragic time. Would be great to know in advance of special events where the museum is closed to the public, purchased tickets online and arrived same day only to find out we had to wait 2 hrs for the private tour to complete. Not everyone can manage unexpected changes like that.

The exhibit was amazing. There are so many real pieces from the Titanic plus numerous other artifacts of relevance from sister ships. You also get assigned a real passenger (card with their info) before you explore to see if you (the real person) survived the tragedy.

Beautiful (and some interactive) exhibits where you could vote for the people’s choice artist at the end of your visit. I especially liked the additions of the artwork created by the children from the summer art program that was framed and displayed. It was a very relaxing way to spend a Sunday.

It was a great exhibit. Other than being yelled at by the woman in the Latin America room. We didn’t touch anything and she barked at us. Other than this it was a great experience on a Friday afternoon

Visiting the Orlando museum of Art was absolutely a dynamic experience. We viewed artwork from the present day all the way back into the late 1800s. Breathtaking I tell you. Must see!

This place is a must see on my yearly trip to Orlando. The museum houses a wonderful permanent collection along with some really exciting visiting shows. I was able to catch the Nick Cave show here a few years ago. What an incredible opportunity to see this tremendous body of work presented in what can only be described as a runway of authenticity. I will continue to visit this museum each time I am in town.

One of my absolute favorite places in Orlando! The Orlando Museum of Art is such a beautiful, inspiring space — every visit feels special. The company I work for sponsors a Christmas tree each year for their holiday event, and it has become one of our most cherished traditions. We love brainstorming the concept together and decorating as a team, and it’s so much fun seeing our tree displayed among all the incredible art (and alongside the other stunning trees!). If you’re looking for a museum that blends creativity, community, and a truly welcoming atmosphere, OMA is the place. Highly recommend!

The place is so pretty, peaceful and it’s a good size museum and they have beautiful expositions on base, like the beautiful pieces from Mexico and other Latin countries. Some surrealism and an incredible glass piece.

From an architectural perspective, the Orlando Museum of Contemporary Art feels like a building from the 1960s or 1970s. The structure is small and modest, and while functional, it lacks the distinctive presence or innovation one might expect from a major contemporary art venue. The layout and scenography are straightforward and simple, making it possible to explore the entire space in about twenty minutes with a quick walkthrough. The variety of exhibitions is fairly standard, offering a decent introduction to contemporary art but without the visual richness or curatorial depth you might find at larger institutions such as MoMA in New York. For families, the museum offers a package ticket for $45 for up to five people, which is a practical option for a casual cultural outing. Crowds are minimal, which adds to the comfort of the visit, but the museum would greatly benefit from diversifying and refreshing its exhibitions to create a more distinctive and memorable identity worthy of Orlando’s name. As it stands, it is a pleasant but not exceptional experience.

100% recommend this. Really lovely people running the tour and selling tickets. Very knowledgeable and it was such a fun activity and way to explore the canals and lakes in pretty Winter Park. Even though it rained heavily we really enjoyed it and they also provided ponchos, which were great! Our guide David was great fun and gave a wonderful tour. Thank you so much!

I relaxing guided tour of Lake Osceola and connecting lakes. Ken, our guide was very knowledgeable and had a good seems of humor. Many beautiful back yards with homes of different types of architectural circle the lake. Also, Rollins College which Mr. Rogers attend for 4 years is one of the sites. My favorite part of the tour were the canals connecting the lakes on the tour. The foliage was beatiful and some if the trees over 100 years old.

For a Date - Very nice ride! Highly recommended — a relaxing one-hour tour over three beautiful lakes and two scenic canals. A great way to enjoy the natural beauty and charm of Winter Park.

What a perfect way to spend an afternoon! The scenic boat tour was beautiful and informative. We learned about some history of Winter Park and got to see some beautiful homes set to stunning nature backdrops. Skipper Tom was a great guide. I highly recommend this tour.

This is such a beautiful boat ride to do if you are in Orlando. The driver takes us across three lakes in a boat and sharing useful facts around the lakes, tapping into the beautiful history of Orlando. Ticket cost you $20 per person, and the tour is worth every penny. Thank you very much.

A classic motorboat tour with breathtaking lake views and a captain who adds charm and humor to the ride. This well-known experience offers a peaceful escape while sharing the rich history of Winter Park - once a retreat for the wealthy for over 100 years. Along the way, your guide will point out beautiful homes, historic landmarks, and tell fascinating and funny stories about the area. Pro tip: Florida law requires all children to wear life vests during the ride. The tour can get quite busy during peak season, so booking tickets in advance is a good idea.

Really amazing and highly recommended. I tried it for the first time (knowing that I’ve been living in Winter Park for over 3 years now), and it was a great experience. Well organized, no need to book in advance, staff very friendly, and the tour is really interesting and fun.

We enjoyed a wonderful private tour with "George the good looking" and Meechu the dragon, and of course, our lovely and very informative tour guide, "Cheryl (with a C)." Delicious samples of cocoa beans, Xocolatl (drunk 50 times a day by Montezuma, and double chocolate dipped marshmallows, and dark, milk, and white chocolate shoes were provided. We even had a competition to launch marshmallows into Meechu's mouth! And after the tour we took home a bunch of chocolates all hand made!

This place was so fun! We did the guided tour and it was really fun to learn more about chocolate. It was a cute little experience, especially fun for little people. Truly genuine and kind staff, went above and beyond to help us have a good experience! The chocolate was amazing and it was really fun to eat a cocoa bean! I would definitely recommend. Cheryl was a great tour guide! We did the last tour which was great, but I would definitely try to book the earlier tours if you can just so you have some more time to look around the shop. Don’t overlook their chocolate in the glass cases because that’s what we got at the end and they were really good!

It's definitely a wonderful little gem in Orlando with a tour that is hokey in the most endearing kind of way. Cheryl was fun and informative. We got the extra chocolate bar at the end (highly recommend! Especially their dark chocolate) as well as far too many other goodies. We also got to chat with the matriarch of this family business and chatted a bit with the guy at the counter. Great folks. Very down to earth. Definitely want to head back soon!

This was across the street from the Rosen Centre Hotel so I could not resist checking out this unique chocolate factory and shop. This was a cool experience while visiting Orlando. I enjoyed learning the history of chocolate and the staff were very nice and funny. I got to try different samples throughout the tour and I added the option to create my own flavored chocolate bar. This place is great for young families to visit.

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience. We had to best time. This being our third chocolate tour, it was nice to see and learn about different things. Trying the chocolate was wonderful. The did a great job with activities and information. It was small but a must experience. They sell edible chocolate beans. Who knew! They are delicious! We also had the design your own chocolate bar. Worth every penny. I would definitely go shopping there again. We bought lots of treats and gift to take home.

Cheryl made the entire Chocolate Kingdom experience one of the highlights of our trip. She was upbeat, informative, and kept the tour engaging from start to finish. The interactive setup was a lot of fun, and we tried several different chocolates along the way, which made it even better. The personalized chocolate bar at the end was a great touch and felt unique. The tour was well worth the price, and every staff member we met was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re in Orlando.

Such a fun experience! Our tour guide, George was absolutely a riot and is excellent at what he does. Crista and the other employees were so kind. We tried the wine pairing, which was very fun and all the chocolate was incredible. Such a great time.

Great experience. Short lines for attractions now in October. Family friendly and lots attractions for solo riders. The best attraction by far doesn't have a line and it's the wave pool with those tsunami-like waves. The crushers were very good as well. Not the most thrilling water park I've been to. But certainly one of the most charming ones to have a pleasant day. Perfect combination I would say, for all kind of people

Had an amazing day here mostly relaxed the wave machine is immense. I would however caution entering if you are at all unsteady on your feet. The waves are powerful even in the shallow part of the attraction. The lazy river was amazing and the kids really enjoyed all the slides and attractions. Even though the park was closed early due to a very intense thunderstorm it was completely worth the visit. We hired a cabana and the service was great.

Great water park to return to,easy to relax and take in the sun with some big waves that will take you off your feet. Not a huge amount of rides for adults,but we knew that. Complimentary towels,just ask anytime,more parks should be like this,good to be back.

This waterpark is a fantastic place - we visited 3 times as we had such a hoot there! There are body rides, aquacoaster rides, food, drink, loads of different places to grab a sunbed without having to be where the main ones are, the sand doesn't get hot and is so powdery that it doesn't stick to you And the second biggest wave machine in the world, so much so that sometimes it's hired out to surfers of an evening! WE LOVED THIS park and prefered it to Universal's VolcanoBay which was just TOO big that it overwhelmed you! Also free parking which, is a plus as every other park, be it Disney or Universal, you had to pay for parking!

Spent 10 days at Disney / Universal, visiting from Canada. Four adults and four granddaughters. Different strokes for different folks but this was by far my most enjoyable day. Kids from aged 2 to 12 loved it. If you can afford it, book the umbrella cabana beside the lazy river - about $200 USD. Food service, free soft drinks and water, comfortable seating and privacy. The service was exceptional. Wave pool, river, and tube / raft rides are all great. Reserve the cabana in advance - tough to get depending upon the time of year.

We (4 adults) had a few hours at Typhoon Lagoon. We started in the wave pool and then rode all the slides and raft slides. It’s best to arrive at opening time if you want to ride before the crowds build. Showers and changing rooms are available. It’s free to park here also unlike the main parks. It’s definitely worth a visit and you could easily spend the day here, although I’d recommend renting an umbrella or cabana if it’s hot as most loungers aren’t in the shade.

Typhoon Lagoon is how water parks should be done. We were in Florida for a trip to visit both Disney and Universal and let's just say one park knows how to run things and the other still needs to get their act together. Friendly service all around the park, the world renouned wave pool definitely stood up to what we heard, and plenty of features all around the park that our high schoolers down to 7 year olds all had a blast in the park. Decent food options with convient mobile ordering also stood out. We would have liked them to.maybe offer some character experiences on the park - it's got a great classic Disney theming so many of the classic Disney characters would have added that last special touch to the day for our kids but I'm only nitpicking.

Nice place to see beautiful cars displayed and very well mantained by their owners. I went on a friday afternoon and parking was almost full. Nice stores to spend time looking but some are a little pricey. Not so many food options and only one small kiosk if you want a coffee break.

Old Town is a cozy spot with great food, drinks, activities, and themed evenings. In October, there’s a big focus on Halloween. There was also a car exhibition, which was really cool! The atmosphere is lively and welcoming.

Ticket attendants were friendly and polite. We went around 3p on a Monday. So not crowded. Fun for my son who’s 6. He loved the kiddy coaster and monster truck.

Amazing to see the dedication of these car owners! Even when the heavens opened up, they were still out there, smiling and showing off their beautiful cars to please the crowds. A fantastic display of passion and commitment—truly impressive!

First time, a notorious tourist trap but it does have some interesting shops, from designer popcorn, to cigars, to moonshine made right there! The cool cars come out on Friday and Saturday night for a cruise!

Came out durning the week and found a bit of places closed. But yet gave off old town feeling which I like. A bit of a slow and easy area to visit. Must come back on a Friday/Saturday night as advertised for a better feel.

Visited Old Town on a Friday night for the car cruise and funfair, it really gives a feel of what it was like back in the day , beautifully kept buildings and streets with lots of shops and eating places, but at night it comes alive with the car cruise, well worth a visit, oh yes and the 300 ft sky coaster is a must

I absolutely love this cable park! My husband and I have been to all of the cable parks in Florida, and this is definitely one of my favorites! It is really well run, and I appreciate how they are always open rain or shine, and communicate very well when they’re not. It is the best run cable park that I’ve ever been to by far. All of the staff is so nice and encouraging. The vibes are great!

I've been coming here for the past 10 years and finally decided it's time to leave a review. Over the years, they've continued to improve the experience, and it really shows. I love the water spouts along the platforms—such a smart way to keep your feet cool under the hot sun! I recently brought some friends on a weekday, and we had an blast. No wait time at all, and the staff—from the receptionist to the operators—were incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s always great to see a place maintain high standards. Definitely planning to come back again soon!

My kids had fun today despite the storm that came earlier than we expected and stayed around. This activity is expensive but my kids look forward to coming to Orlando Watersports after our yearly end of season AAU Volleyball tournament. The staff was friendly and helpful and closed quick when needed for lightning and opened back up when the storm moved away so that we could get back on the water even though it was raining. We wanted to do the new surfing experience but the weather did make that not work out for us as the storm lasted longer than expected but we look forward to trying it out on our next trip.

We just left there and I couldn't wait to review this AH-MAZING place! We're here on vacation from SoCal and celebrating my son's 17th birthday. This was the place and activity he chose. The staff is beyond kind, customer service is impeccable and the activities were great!!!!! We all had a blast. Highly recommended and we'd actually come back just for this place. 10 stars 🌟

The Orlando Watersports Complex is an incredible spot for both beginners and experienced riders. They’ve got two full cable laps that keep things exciting for advanced riders, plus a dedicated two-tower system that’s perfect for lessons and anyone just starting out. On top of that, the inflatable aqua park is a blast—great for kids and adults alike to climb, jump, and challenge themselves. The staff is friendly, the vibe is energetic, and it’s one of the best places in Orlando to get on the water, learn, or just have fun. Highly recommend!

Came here for the first time today and we were so welcomed. The staff is absolutely wonderful and the prices are reasonable. We paid around 50$ pp and did tubing/the aquapark/& one of us did wakeboarding. For a group of 20+ year olds we felt like kids all day long. Spent 3 hours here. Did want to leave an AMAZING review for Jordan/Jordyn, he is absolutely wonderful. Will be coming here again.

First time here!!We had a great time. Did cable and obstacle course. Food was ok a bit expensive. I wasn’t aware I could have brought my own food. Next time we’ll be ready. Lots of seating comfy but need to replace cushions and pillows. Very helpful outside staff with boys trying to do the cables. We will definitely be back

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?

Paid full price for five minutes and that’s all it takes to walk through the facility absolutely terrible nothing original and was very disappointed that they literally had 8 x 11 pieces of paper with drawings on them that my 10-year-old has brought home better that were tacked to the wall with some thumb tacks. In their featured… That’s questionable display was a small square platform in the middle of a room with the most random items didn’t even look like artists designed them kinda looks like the things you don’t buy at a garage sale. Highly recommend scratching this one off your to do list before even going there

Interesting exhibits. This museum was open earlier than other art museums in the area on Saturdays, and admission was only $5. The sculpture garden was also nice, and much larger than it seems. On a pleasant central Florida day, it's a nice walk. Friendly staff. Highly recommend pausing to watch the education video on the tablet in the Earl Cunningham exhibit. They also have tote bags available at the museum store for $5.

Pretty small but worth supporting! Some great pieces and a beautiful view.

Although small, it was a nice little museum to look around and learn some history. The displays were interesting and informative. Don't expect to be here all day. Maybe 2 hours tops. There is a nice small sculpture garden outside as well. You pay a small fee to go in the museum but well worth it.

I attended a yoga session in the sculpture garden, which was beautifully landscaped and scenic. Afterward, I explored the museum, which had its own unique charm and majesty. The museum was currently featuring the works of a Pakistani-American artist, which were thoughtfully presented and displayed. Although the museum isn't particularly large, its cozy size adds to its warm and inviting ambiance. Overall, I had a delightful visit and highly recommend taking the time to explore both the grounds and the museum.

It's a bit small, but absolutely worth the $5 they charge to get in. They even have a free day every so often. The collection is fantastic and you can spend as long or little enjoying it as you want, within museum hours. They also have expansion plans, with a model and description of their plans inside the museum. Very exciting stuff! It's a hidden gem in Orlando and definitely worth exploring if you haven't been before or if it's been a while.

Beautiful park to walk, relax, and take pictures(Wedding, Sweet Fifteen, and other pics). We choose a day that was cloudy to visit and the atmosphere was at most the best. Parked on the side and took all this pictures of sculptures and them some of us(my husband and I) lol. We had a blast listening to the birds shirping and viewing the turtles peekaboo over the water. Love the experience.

This was a lot of fun and the staff working was super nice! We intended to return but will have to wait until our next trip! There were 2 options or you could choose to do both courses. We did one and it was just the right amount of time and challenge. Definitely recommend!

This is such a well themed, very enjoyable mini golf experience. There amazing attention to detail in the environment and a history lesson on Blackbeard throughout. Even the touches of having added shade above us and a soap and water hand washing station at the end was really nice. The staff was friendly and we absolutely loved their pirate themed costumes. Thank you so much, mateys! 🏴‍☠️

I think this is the best miniature gold I have ever been to. I travel quite a bit and always like to sample the local courses. The attention to detail and "theming" is amazing. Lots of water hazards and other fun obstacles. I went with my wife and we had a blast.

Pirate's Cove was very fun and convenient. I played 36 holes, enjoyed the scenery and the pirate themed decorations. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I went early in the morning so I can't attest to how busy it is at peak times but there were others playing ahead of me and a large group of children that started behind me. It was fun but the heat is brutal. It is Florida after all. FYI: This Orlando location is not wheelchair friendly. You cannot access the course via wheelchair. The staff did state that their other locations are wheelchair accessible but this I-drive location was grandfathered in to being able to not cater to wheelchair users.

Pirates mini golf was an amazing adventure of fun and intrigue! With 2 courses, of varying difficulty there was more than enough entertainment for my girlfriend and I. The course was expertly designed and I had a ton of fun exploring all of the holes on the course! Would definitely come back my next time in Orlando!

Second time at Pirate’s Cove Adventure Golf 🏴‍☠️⛳️ Still as fun as the first! The place is super well-kept, with great pirate vibes, waterfalls, and music that puts you right in the mood. Perfect for families, couples, or just a bit of friendly competition. Excellent experience once again — totally worth it! 🌴⚓️

Definitely the most immersive mini golf I've ever been to. Has two 18 hole courses with one being easier and the other harder. We played the more challenging one and enjoyed it. Between the two courses, there are several caves and a pirate ship you actually play on. Also lots of water features. The amount of themeing put into this place is incredible.

Went Thursday for an escape room ended up going back Saturday to do another one. The staff was super friendly and the rooms are incredible. Will absolutely be going back to do another one! Awesome way to spend an afternoon! Great job team!

Highly recommend for a children’s birthday party. We had seven, 11-year-old boys for the kids mode, chemical warfare escape room, including the birthday party room with pizza, beverages, and plate where. Staff was excellent, boys were totally into the escape room, and back party room was clean and decorated well. Just perfect. Booking was easy and they kindly sent me photographs of the birthday party room prior to seeing the facility. Don’t hesitate and just book it! You’ll be happy and everyone will have a great time!

This is an amazing place, we loved it, it was fun. We chose Murder on the Orient Express. Jada, the girl who accompanied us, was delightful. She is wonderfully kind. The quest was incredibly interesting, my friends and I are thrilled, we had an unforgettable experience ❤️

We had a group of 5 looking for a fun night out and decided on Escapology on I-Drive around 9 PM. Their website showed multiple games available until 10:50 PM, so we planned to play. We noticed online there was a separate "tax & fees" charge and then an additional "booking fee," so we decided to drive over and book in person to avoid the extra online charges. When we arrived, the game master was on the phone, loudly telling another potential guest that all rooms were completely booked for the night. After he got off the phone, he told our group of 5 that the last team had just been put in a room and no other games were available. His reason was that they were "closing early" because it was a slow night. This was incredibly frustrating. The lobby was supposed to be open until 10:50 PM, but they were closing almost two hours early. It clearly wasn't that "slow" if our group of 5 was trying to book and he had just turned away another customer on the phone. We can understand closing a little bit early if it's dead, but turning away multiple paying customers two hours before your posted closing time is terrible business. We ended up going to Puzzle Corp Escape Rooms instead and had a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend them—their staff was amazing and happy to help, which was a complete opposite of the service at Escapology.

Escapology was so much fun! We stumbled across it when we were looking for fun things to do outside of Universal. They offer many escape rooms at varying difficulties. We chose the second hardest room and it was challenging but intriguing. Very real experience and intense effects. Enna and Garrett were extremely helpful. 100/10 recommend!

My husband and I came here on a double date and had a great time! This was our 3rd room here and they’re all top notch. Our game master Jason was very personable and subtly funny 😆 And our game master Garrett came through in the clutch with some last minute hints to help us find Mona Lisa. We’ll definitely be back!

So much fun a great way to spend a rainy beach afternoon. Facility was clean and staff was friendly and helpful :) lots of different rooms of all difficulty levels for everyone! We did the “who stop Mona” room and escaped with 15 minutes to spare! The room was really cool and the puzzles were fun but we are looking forward to trying a harder room next time!

Had a beautiful view of the surrounding areas during our visit. Cart itself is air conditioned and plenty of space. Love that the fact that you can have drinks on the 22 minutes tour.

Tried the Ferris wheel 🎡 — overall, it was just okay. Pretty average, to be honest. Big plus for the organization 👍 Everything looked clean, well-maintained, and felt safe ✅. But the view from the top… honestly, there wasn’t much to look at 👀. Also, there was a slight urine smell in the cabin 😬 — not the most pleasant surprise. It’s a one-time experience for me. Been there, done that 👌.

I got lucky & caught the sunset. It was so peaceful sitting above the city & watching the busy lights below while sipping some prosecco. So pretty to see everything lit up. There's a smal bar right before you board your car, photographers to take pictures of your adventure, & the staff is polite & professional. It's such a great experience- a definite must for anyone that wants to see the City Beautiful from above!

Visiting The Orlando Eye was such a wonderful experience! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the whole city, theme parks, and beautiful sunsets. The cabins are clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, which makes the ride comfortable and relaxing. The staff was friendly and organized, and the line moved quickly — we didn’t have to wait long to get in. The ride itself lasts around 20 minutes, giving enough time to enjoy the sights and take amazing photos. We went during sunset, and the colors in the sky were stunning — it made the experience even more special. It’s a great place to visit with family or friends, and it feels peaceful compared to the busy parks around. Highly recommend visiting The Orlando Eye if you’re in Orlando! It’s a perfect spot for unforgettable views and beautiful pictures. 🎡🌅✨

$35 for one person to ride. Went during the week so we got a private cab. Nice views of the surrounding area and seeing downtown.

Conclusion first: Beautiful views, calm experience – but not exactly a rollercoaster of emotions. The Orlando Eye is like a peaceful Detect Landscape spell – steady, scenic, and mildly enchanting. The city stretches beneath you, the cabins are comfy, and for 21 quiet minutes, you float above it all like a contemplative cleric. But thrilling? Not quite. It’s more meditative than magical. And for the steep price, one might expect at least a shimmer of spectacle or a bard narrating your ascent. Still, 4/5 – lovely, but more Zone of Tranquility than Heart-racing Adventure. And buy tickets before online. It’s much cheaper.

Our ride on The Wheel at ICON Park was one of the highlights of our Orlando trip. It’s a relaxing, beautiful, and surprisingly serene way to see the city from a whole new perspective. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual theme park rush, this is a perfect change of pace. From the moment we arrived at ICON Park, we were impressed. The area is clean, modern, and has a great energy. There are lots of restaurants, shops, and attractions all around, so it’s easy to make a full afternoon or evening out of your visit. Parking was free and easy to find, and everything was clearly marked. The boarding process for The Wheel was efficient and smooth. The staff was very friendly and helpful, answering questions and ensuring everyone felt comfortable and safe. The capsules are fully enclosed, climate-controlled, and spacious — much larger than we expected — with enough room to move around and take in views from every angle. It didn’t feel crowded at all, and the air conditioning was a welcome break from the Florida heat. As the ride began, we were instantly captivated by the view. The ascent is slow and steady, giving you time to take it all in. By the time we reached the top, we could see for miles in every direction — from the downtown Orlando skyline to the theme parks in the distance, and even as far as the horizon. If you time your ride for sunset or twilight, you’re in for a truly breathtaking experience as the city lights start to twinkle and the sky glows with color. What we appreciated most was the calm, almost meditative feeling of the ride. There’s no rushing, no jostling — just a peaceful 20-minute journey above the city. It’s perfect for families, couples, or even solo travelers. We saw young kids excited to point out landmarks, couples taking in the romantic view, and others just enjoying the quiet moment away from the busy tourist spots. After the ride, we explored the rest of ICON Park, which added to the experience. There are fun bars, dessert spots, sit-down restaurants, and quick eats — something for everyone. It’s a great place to spend a few hours without feeling overwhelmed. In all, The Wheel at ICON Park offers a unique and memorable view of Orlando, wrapped in a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It’s perfect for first-time visitors, locals looking for a fun night out, or anyone wanting to see the city in a different light. We’re so glad we did it, and we’d absolutely do it again

Good spot to stop off. It's a bit pricey for what it is. Every little thing has a decent price tag: each ride, each exhibit, ...it adds up. You could spend a day here, or you could swing by for a couple hours. Overall, it's cool.

This was a very lively place they had a little concert going while I was there plenty of places to eat. They have several rides an arcade and so much more that I didn't have time to explore parking is free so if all you do is stroll around and watch the sites it's well worth the visit.

Expensive for what it is and the claw machines are all rigged, they open as they reach the top. Only thing worth the money is the spongebob VR but it breaks down to over $12 per person per game

Very expensive and pushy, machine always asking to upgrade ticket deals. Tickets do not come in multiples that actually let you spend them all without buying another round. Claw machines mostly had prizes arranged so most were not reachable, and didn’t engage the strong claw grip once while I was there (I am usually able to win at least one prize from other claw machines I visit with similar plushie prizes.) Good selection of games and a unique maze there, however, as well as a nice assortment of prizes.

Most of the games were down and they were closing the games a 1hr early.so don’t believe the closing time which is 12am. Definitely wouldn’t recommend going here ‼️I recommend going to main event.

Very surprised by this arcade. 1st glance it seems kinda small but once you walk in you see the decent amount of games they have. They have the classics like Skee Ball, Basketball and the Crane Games and then they have some new ones like Walking Dead and Doodle Jump! I suggest buying a play card, the more $$ you spend you get $$ Free. We bought $10 play card and got $1 free and that was nice. Games are not too expensive so $11 got us about 20 min and several games a piece. We are 80/90s kids so arcades are a major thing from our past we’re very happy hasn’t disappeared yet! If your in this plaza, by the Orlando I Ride I suggest stopping for this arcade for some good old fashioned FUN!

This is the best arcade ever. Plenty of things to do .Kids and adults comes and goes .It's not too loud for little ones . There's also a changing tables in both bathrooms available for them .Drive are free just ask for a cup at the counter. Everything is digital you just need a card arcade card one dollar for 1 game. Your points automatically loaded to your card you can exchange your points to Kita of different items afterwards.

Friendly staff, and good fun. The fist lap was overall good uninterrupted; however the second lap, the car pedals were not well adjusted and therefore it was difficult to brake and accelerate properly, it had numerous interruptions that it made the second lap feel shorter and not engaging.

Adres, Orlando and Mike were great. Track is a bit older from all the other k1’s. Orlando and Mike running the track went above and beyond to make me and my sons experience over the top! Great guys here

⭐ Review for Mariana – K1 Speed ⭐ I want to take a moment to recognize Mariana, the bartender. Today she made me two mojitos that were, honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor, the freshness, and the balance were on another level — absolutely outstanding. On top of that, her attitude was exceptional: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She delivers the kind of service that makes you want to come back. K1 Speed has a real asset in her, because she not only makes high-quality drinks, she also elevates the entire guest experience. Much respect for her work. Mariana, you’re truly top-notch.

We got there right when the opened on Saturday to kill some time. My son was the only one for the junior carts. The staff was super friendly, and efficient. Compared to the other karting places we’ve been to! We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for all you do!

Dear K1 amusement! We had such a wonderful time in your establishment! We wanna personally thank, your Bartender Marina, she has such a beautiful soul, her customer service was exceptional, from the beginning to end, my son in law had a good birthday there with Ms Marina, I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart. She made sure he got to the car safe, and he did! We’re visiting from DC/ MD on a family vacation with the babies, and this place was the best experience we had. Mr. Jeff the cook, we can’t leave you out, you too was a good host, bartender, while she was on break, and the cook, he managed all these jobs, and we appreciated every role he played!!! Thank you again for the good hospitality ♥️ I didn’t catch the other guy name from the front desk, you served us too!! Thank you.

I walked into this place and immediately thought of family day. I love their entire set up, the business has it going on! This place has to be a lot of fun even for a nice couple. I'm bringing my girl to this joint, she's going to love it! Then across the street we got a couple spots to hang out at, smoking a couple with some drinks would be nice. I'm looking at coming to K1 in August. I liked how polite everybody was who works here. Keep doing a good job guys, you already earned my business just with that!

We just went with a family of 8. Had a blast and about 50 dollars a person for the races. Food was good and a lot. Dads don’t order anything for yourself. There’s going to be a lot of leftovers.
