ICON Orlando

Orlando


Orlando has got everything else that goes up and down, so why not round and around? Opened in 2017, ICON Orlando is one of International Drive's latest landmarks. Orlando is flat, but a trip in this, especially at night, affords views of theme parks and the greater area. Check ahead as it sometimes closes for private events.

Combination tickets are available with the Madame Tussauds and Sea Life.
