ICON Park, formerly known as I-Drive 360, is an entertainment complex that has undergone several modifications since its inception, including its unification with the neighboring complex, The Vue at 360, into one place.
The ICON Park Orlando complex is a great alternative for those who are in the city and want to have fun outside the theme parks. The place offers several attractions, in addition to an excellent infrastructure, with places to enjoy the sun, shops and delicious restaurants. In other words, an option for the whole family! Now learn a little more about the main attractions of the place:
The Wheel
One of the attractions that most caught the attention of those passing by International Drive is The Wheel – the imposing ferris wheel of the ICON Park complex. It’s one of the largest in the world and was formerly known as Orlando Eye.
The Wheel’s design was inspired by the London Eye Ferris Wheel, which is located in London. The tour lasts an average of 23 minutes and from above you can see the entire city of Orlando, and even some theme parks! The view is breathtaking!
The ferris wheel has 30 huge glass capsules and each of them can fit 14 people with great comfort and technology. All capsules are equipped with iPads that contain information about everything you can see in the city of Orlando while you’re up there! The tip is to do this tour at sunset! You’ll be delighted!
StarFlyer
This attraction is unlike anything you’ve ever seen: it’s the tallest carousel in the world! For 4 minutes, you’ll spin super fast 137 meters above the ground! Perfect for those who love adrenaline!
The attraction’s entrance features a themed bar, an ice cream parlor and a pretzel shop. In other words, if you are not a fan of great emotions, you can enjoy yourself in one of these stores while you wait!
Madame Tussauds
For those who like to take pictures with famous people, Madame Tussauds wax museum is the perfect place! The Orlando museum has characters who made history and success in the United States and in the most famous films around the world.
There are more than 40 wax celebrities spread throughout the museum, which is divided by themes such as world leaders, sports idols and singers who conquered the world. The most popular dolls are: Barack Obama, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Kate Perry, Vin Diesel and Brad Pitt.
Sea Life Aquarium
With more than 5,000 marine animals including fish, sharks, rays and turtles, the Sea Life aquarium is an unmissable attraction! What calls the most attention are the huge underwater tunnels that pass through themed places that simulate the habitat of marine animals. Children are simply fascinated!
