While Icon Park may be one of the more well known amusement parks in Florida, those living outside Florida may not have heard of this destination. Considered to be a “classic” amusement park, their massive ferris wheel inspires the saying, “Your vacation isn’t complete, until you’ve seen it from 400 feet!” With seven individually ticketed destinations located in Icon Park, visitors are sure to find something fun for everyone.
The Wheel
“The Wheel” is the most iconic destination in Icon’s seven-destination park. Those who have flown into Orlando have most likely seen this impressive landmark just off the freeway as the airport is exited. Pricing for this ride ranges from $23 per child to $28 per-adult, and the ride lasts about 18 minutes. However, the view is absolutely breathtaking, especially nearing the top of its 400 foot peak. Many people who have tried “The Wheel” have described it as a truly unforgettable experience.
Madame Tussauds Orlando
Have you ever wished to take a picture with Aquaman? How about Batman or Superman? Maybe Pop Stars like Taylor Swift or Katy Perry are more your thing. At Madame Tussauds, visitors can get up close with popular, life-like, and life-sized wax sculptures and take home memories with their favorite stars. The price-tag is $22.50 for children and $27.50 for adults.

This exhilarating 360-degree experience lasts 3 minutes before being lowered back to the ground. The current price stands at $12.21 + sales tax per person.
