ICON Park

Orlando, Florida, US

ICON Park is an open‑air entertainment hub on Orlando’s International Drive, anchored by The Wheel, a 400‑foot observation wheel. The complex blends rides, dining and shopping, making it a convenient stop for families and groups exploring the city.

Why choose ICON Park

When you wander through ICON Park you’ll catch panoramic views of Orlando from The Wheel and instantly feel the buzz of a lively downtown core, something a traditional theme park can’t match. It lets you blend thrill rides with casual dining in a single stroll.
