Everything is indoors and even though the space is massive it is not overly crowded which is great. Favorite activities included: - Glow in the dark wax painting - Creating and naming your own crayon - Decorating your own Scribble - Selfie and photo stations everywhere (my daughter especially loved the sketch bots) - And of course the gift shop! We were able to get discounted tickets off Groupon. We spent about three hours there.

We arrived mid week and there was no line. Not sure if there is more of a hustle on the weekend. There are a few things to do such as a label experience, a drawing experience, and a crate gym. Food is similar to a movie theater (popcorn and candies). Staff was kind & patient. I don't think it was worth $30 per person for one day. But it is worth $40 for an annual pass. Extra bonus : FREE for military year round. Military friends /family that come with the member get $5 off per person.

Check in begins at 5 pm. The children will be greeted at the desk and then taken then taken to the Monsters Inc hand wash then are allowed to store their personal items. The kids have activities galore and are served dinner and a snack. Downsides. EXPENSIVE, especially if you have more than one child. And since they close at 10:30 most people would have to cut the date short to get there in time.

We definitely felt dropped into a Mario Bros / Super Nintendo game or movie. The space, while…read moresmall, is colorful and contain the elements you'd expect to see - Yoshi, boxes to hit for sounds and points, mushrooms, Bowser, etc. Even the gift shops are fun with their apparel and character accessories. (Did a Yoshi hat come home with us? Yes, yes it did.) This space will not be appreciated by everyone - not because we don't love Mario Bros but because it is small and full of people in every corner. It offers a few attractions and it is a huge commitment to stand in line for a short thrill. We did ride Bowser's ride. It allowed for single riders. It delays regularly though - in our case a cart had to be removed and replaced on the track. It involves a lot of technology the way the game is designed. Our family of 4 did not understand the game at all and how we even gathered points. Thankfully we didn't stand in line as long and wouldn't recommend anyone else does. Sadly the other rides were not part of our day due to the lengthy wait times and in the case of Donkey Kong, so backed up that the single rider line was closed. We witnessed a lot of happy kids running around and tapping question marked boxes. Even for my older teen / adult children they stood in the space and smiled while they took it in. It was the first place they wanted to see upon our arrival.

There are interactive areas, 3 rides, 1 hidden attraction, lots of food and character experiences and tons of photo-ops. Shoutout to the amazing Team Members with the characters, they have some serious crowd control jobs and offer great moments with Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi. I do miss Donkey Kong and TOAD and I hope they return soon.

Definitely on the smaller side for an aquarium, but I appreciate how it's around so many other…read morethings which is why I'm giving it a higher rating than if it was just standalone. We have free passes with our Legoland annual pass, so we checked out this place, the Orlando, Eye, and Madame Tussaud's. There was a lot of things to read, I made my older son practice reading by reading a lot of the plaques. There was also some fun interactive screens. And the highlight was a mermaid that was swimming around in the tank that came up to wave at everyone. It must be somewhat common place because we saw the mermaid a couple of times and only in one area where people rushing up to get pictures. The aquarium is broken out into sections, they had quite a few different species. My son also liked the touch tank. Overall, it took us about 45 minutes to get through so it's not a full day thing. If you read more, you could maybe make it last a couple hours, but for young children, I would say about an hour. Parking at icon park is easy. There's a free parking garage that has free parking on the upper levels and pay to park on the lower levels. When we came at about 5 PM on a Saturday there were tons of spots. I don't think this place gets that busy until nighttime.

The back entrance next to Bluemen Group directly connected. The fish collection is good. It is a lot from different ocean. They also have collections from Everglades. I like seahorses collection. One of the seahorse is called pork belly seahorse. Sounds like a dish in the restaurant. Just kidding. I also like the decorative stone in the water. Most of them are like South America relics. I also like the touch tank. I got to touch small animal. The visit may take 1.5 hours to complete. There is the Florida residence price. I recommend this visit with kid.

Some friends with little ones invited us for a play date here since their kids are 6 and 18 months…read more My child is 7 and almost near the "too big for this place" age, but there are several pretend play areas and a few rideable cars she was able to get into and she loved the ball pit with the interactive wall tubes and screen. We did not bring socks so we had to buy them there for $2.50, so for around $18, we were able to go in with our child for 2 hours. 2 adults are free with one child's admission price. I feel like socks should've been included, but you are allowed to bring in your own from home and they don't have to be grip bottom socks. You are given a colored armband that indicates the time you need to leave. 4 stars because there were a lot of coin operated rides/games/machines to play with, however some of them were out of order (carousel, VR game) or were pay to play (air hockey, and another car type of vehicle). The decor and theming was impressive and there were two areas in the back where they had set up for parties that were not happening at the time of our visit. I liked how each set up for the parties came with huge balloon garland that color coordinated with the theme. A thunderstorm rolled through the area while we were there, and it was a nice reminder of why we chose an indoor activity to enjoy today. We spent an hour and 45 minutes there before we had to go, and of course our kids were reluctant to leave! I was also able to capture my friend's baby standing and walking while pushing a baby doll stroller which was very exciting! I would recommend this place if you're looking for an indoor, air conditioned, clean and safe environment for kids aged 18 months to age 7 or 8, this place should be on the list.

Our last day in Orlando and we went to one of MY Favorite Places: Gatorland!…read more We first visited this Gator Sanctuary with our son, Mathew when he was 3 years old and we all loved it. Gatorland was started in 1949 by Owen Goodwin as a 1/2 day Family Attraction. It has since grown and now the Park has over 100+ Gators including a few albino's. Since I last visited the Park in 2018, Gatorland has added a Zipline with 5 lines which zip over Gators. This was an absolute MUST DO! The 2nd favorite thing I LOVE doing, is feeding the parakeets aka budgies You can purchase a bundle of popsicle sticks with peanut butter at one end rolled in bird seed. The Birds will flock to You and start eating. You can actually feel their "tootsies" on your skin and they are very warm. You MUST shuffle you feet to avoid stepping on the little ones who are pecking away at the dropped birdseed on the floor. My 3rd favorite thing is feeding the Gators. You can purchase Turkey hotdogs, break them into pieces and toss them to the Gators! They come swimming up to you to be fed. How COOL! My next favorite is the Gator Show which involves completely harmless Gator: wrestling. Basically the Trainer gently straddles the Gator and tips his chin under his. Be sure to come hungry as they have a cafe which serves, you guessed it: Gator bites/nuggets. They are SO yummy!Okay by now, you have figured it out: I LOVE the entire Park and highly recommend that if you visit Orlando, add Gatorland with Ziplining to your Vacay Adventure, you won't regret it!

Both the kids and parents do have to buy their specific grippy socks though, which is a bit annoying, especially when I already had grippy socks that would have worked just fine. The main floor of this play place is pretty large, and everything is spread out enough that there is a lot of room to move. The main attraction is the large climbing structure with multiple slides. It is definitely the coolest part and the part my son (and I for that matter) had the most fun with. Other than that though, there isn't a whole lot of other toys and variety to entertain the children compared to other places I've been.

I'm particularly interested in their "Mom's Playdate" for $ 28, which includes coffee for mom, socks for mom and child, juice + 1 bag of chips for kids and playtime. Finally, I love that the place seems very well thought off. Definitely looking forward to going back!
