I have always wanted to visit this free history museum, and on a recent trip to Orlando, I finally…read morecaught them while they were open. Located in Kissimmee, the Osceola County Welcome Center & History Museum offers visitors an in depth look at the people, places, industries, and natural environment that have shaped Osceola County. The museum is operated by the Osceola County Historical Society, which was founded on October 29, 1949, when Charles and Twylah Hartley of St. Cloud and Alma Hetherington of Kissimmee chartered the organization. Their goal was to collect local artifacts and publish historical information to ensure that Osceola County's heritage would be preserved. Beginning in the 1960s, the Historical Society displayed artifacts and other historical items in a wing of the Osceola Center for the Arts. In 1987, Ross and Willa Lanier donated their historic family home to the Historical Society. Built in 1889, the house is now known as the Lanier Cracker House. That same year, heirs of the Spence family, Carl and Ruth Yates Spence, donated four acres of land and their family home on North Bass Road in Kissimmee. The Historical Society moved the Lanier Cracker House to the property and opened the Osceola County Pioneer Enrichment Center, helping commemorate the county's centennial. In 1990, the Historical Society's collection was moved from the Osceola Center for the Arts to the newly named Pioneer Village which you can also visit. In 2010, Osceola County approved an expansion of the Pioneer Village and Museum into Shingle Creek Regional Park. The partnership between Osceola County and the Historical Society eventually led to the creation of the Osceola County Welcome Center & History Museum which opened on October 2012. Today, the museum provides visitors with an introduction to Osceola County's history and natural environment. The exhibits include dioramas depicting several of the county's distinct habitats, including swampland, pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, and lakefront environments. Seeing these different ecosystems helps illustrate how closely the area's natural landscape is connected to its history and development. The museum also explores some of the industries and activities that helped shape Osceola County, including citrus, cattle, transportation, and early tourism. Many of the exhibits feature interactive displays and scavenger hunts, making the museum experience hands-on. After taking in the museum exhibits you can step outside and explore Shingle Creek, where you can see some of the natural environment featured in the exhibits. One thing that really stood out to me was how much this museum appeals to children. I love a free history museum, but some can be a little dry for younger visitors. This one does a great job of making history accessible through interactive exhibits, activities, and educational programs. The Historical Society also works with local school groups and offers field trips and community programs. Admission is completely free making it a budget friendly option. It is a worthwhile stop for families, history buffs, or anyone who wants to learn more about the history and natural environment of Osceola County. If you're in the Kissimmee area, I definitely recommend a visit.

Our 4 year and 1 year old were also BIG fans! Such awesome touch exhibits for them - a little tunnel they could crawl through, an adorable playhouse with toys and an awesome train station area with Lincoln logs. We will definitely be back - i just wish this was closer to my home!! Also bonus tip- if you are coming here with kids, check out the Construction Zone Restaurant near by- makes the perfect lunch spot!

The Orlando Event Space can hold anywhere from 25-10,000 guests. Perfect for small gatherings, galas, and convention groups, this space can accommodate virtually any event size or style. It is definitely one of the most unique venues in Central Florida. Featuring entertainment options like laser tag, virtual reality, arcade games, a one-of-a kind car collection, and so much more you really can't go wrong. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Can't wait for our first event in the space!

They are very realistic looking and it's kind of kitchsy but cool. I first came here over 10 years ago and they definitely update most of the figures. Taylor Swift is featured prominently in one of her costumes from the Eras tour and she was not there dressed like that the last time I visited. However, there are some that they do not. I have a picture of me and the Ryan Reynolds figure in the exact same jacket in the exact same spot 10 years apart. They have a DC comics area and that was probably my child's favorite part. They also have kung fu panda and Shrek and Fiona so those characters kept him entertained. The price to visit is a little steep however you can buy a combo ticket where you can visit numerous sites at icon park and that is definitely a better deal if you're planning on visiting multiple sites like the Orlando eye or sea life . We have Legoland annual passes and so a visit here is included with our Legoland annual pass. They are all a part of Merlin entertainment. A visit here last anywhere from 30 minutes to maybe a little over an hour. It definitely depends on how crowded it is and how much time you want to spend taking various pictures.

This is a hard review for me to write, because standalone I probably would potentially give this place two stars, but combining with the other attractions, it raised my rating. I'm glad that it is so close to sea life, and the Orlando Eye, because we did all three and also grabbed food in the area, which made checking out this place worth it. We only came here because we have free passes through our Legoland annual pass. I have a five-year-old and a seven-year-old so they may be a little young to appreciate this place. I did recognize a majority of the figures, my kids did not. However, they do have superheroes which the kids found fun, and it was a good learning experience to talk to them about some of the historical figures. It is exactly what you would expect you walk through rooms and see you wax figures. The wax figures are very well done. Icon park has a free parking garage, where the upper levels are free and the lower levels you pay for. When we went on a Saturday at about 6 PM there wasn't a problem getting parking. We breezed through the museum in about 45 minutes.

There are markets, bakeries, and restaurants galore here, all keen to have you taste either their take on a traditional, or point you with special glee towards their own creations. The weather cooperated, the band was great, people struck up conversations with strangers, and everyone got a little sun. I'm awfully glad that Yelp made this a Yelp Event. I didn't see any other Yelpistas, but then again, my eyes were looking at all that deliciousness..... So, come tomorrow- or next year. And, keep you eyes on the pies!!!

This year, I was lucky enough to get free entry into the never ending pie buffet from our friends at Yelp! Thanks Colleen for the pie! Since parking can be a nightmare even without events at Celebration, we always park by a friends house over by the high school and walk over. It only takes about 10 min to walk over and besides, it is a nice walk back to the car to walk off some of the pie we just inhaled. We arrived on Saturday around 1 pm and found the crowds this year to be a bit lighter than in the past. After checking in with the info booth and getting our wrist bands, we enjoyed checking out all the vendors and seeing if their was any arts and crafts we might want. There is a large booth that sells t-shirts, cookbooks and of course pies! This year, there were also a larger amount of food vendors selling the normal fair type foods. We did not indulge since we were saving room for pie. They also had a zip line contraption that looked like fun. We made our way over to the pie buffet entry. You must have a wrist band or you cant get in! The pie police are watching you. Once inside, we armed ourselves with plastic forks ( I suggest bringing your own metal one if you like) and then started to check out all the booths. There seemed to be less vendors than in the past. Publix and Winn Dixie were there as well as Kroger's and the Village inn. All make great pies but the ones I enjoy most are from some of the more independent pie companies that make unusual combinations of flavors. Bakers Square, Bonerts, Legendary Baking, and Wicks pies are these types of vendors. Yet this year, they only seemed to have a few flavors to try while in the past, they might have 10 or more types. My favorite of all time was a chocolate coated frozen cheesecake on a stick.... but alas, it was not there this year. Sniff Sniff... All in all, it was still a great feast! I will say that most people can eat about 5 or 6 slices before they are done but one friend of mine ate 10 slices! Oink! Some people like to eat one slice at a time while others stop at each booth, grab the ones they want, and then find a place to spread them all out and eat them one by one. After our pig out, we continued to check out many of the other booths that circle the stage. Crisco is the main sponsor but there are also booths for Duncan Hines, Smuckers, and Dunkin Donuts. Duncan was having a bit of a scavenger hunt with their new stir in flavors of frosting. You had to collect all 12 of the flavors and then visit their booth to be in a drawing for prizes. I collected them all, got my ticket for the hourly drawing but never got back to see if I won... oh well... There was also the appearance of Poppin Fresh! and Pie man! Always popular and sometimes a line to get a photo with them. The main stage had an assortment of entertainment including comedian Kirk Marsh, singer Dean Daniels and guest chefs David Sloan and Brian Ehrenholm. If you want something fun to do and love pie, I do recommend checking out the pie festival. The normal entry for adults is $10 and if you eat enough pie, it pays for itself. Our best tip would be go in... eat pie... walk around and enjoy the booths and sights... then go back again for more pie! (Then take a really long walk back to your car!) Enjoy!

There is ample parking. The meeting spaces are clean and well maintained. The A/V equipment worked well and there were ample power plugs. The wifi was good but unsecured. Bathrooms were plenty and constantly cleaned. The food was really a cut above. Breakfast had fresh fruit, hot items and bakery/ cereal items. The coffee and tea flowed freely. Lunches seemed to have had nutritionist input and careful thought to include heathy fresh veggies, vegetarian options, and gluten free options, with labels on each dish, and staff available for questions. Desserts were lovely and snacks at breaks were interesting and varied (see churro comment above). The venue is adjacent to the Boardwalk Inn and the boardwalk itself, which is a nice place to walk and boasts many dining/entertainment venues. Hope I can return!
