Best ICON Park Attractions for Families
Three main attractions, one combo ticket. Here’s what each one offers.
The Orlando Eye
Still widely known as The Wheel at ICON Park. Tallest observation wheel on the East Coast. 30 climate-controlled capsules hold up to 15 guests each. Ride it just before sunset for the best views.
SEA LIFE Aquarium
Sharks and sea turtles swim overhead in the ocean tunnel. Timed entry required, so book online. Entirely indoors, making it one of the best rainy day activities in Orlando.
Madame Tussauds
Kids pose with lifelike wax figures of celebrities and characters. Pairs well with SEA LIFE on a combo ticket.
