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.

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.

Super Nintendo World at Epic Universe is the kind of place that delivers on a premise that should…read morenot work as well as it does. I walked through the warp pipe entrance and into the land, and that was a genuine moment. The colors, sounds, and scale of everything around me hit immediately in a way that was hard to prepare for even though I knew what to expect. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the music threading through the entire area kept the immersion intact as I moved from one section to the next. Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness is the ride to prioritize and the one that generates the most excitement in the land. I arrived at park open and went straight here, which was the right strategy as the wait times built quickly. Mario Kart is the other major attraction and delivers on the concept, with the Power Up Band integration adding a competitive layer that makes it more than just a passive ride experience. The Power Up Band is worth purchasing before entering the park if I want the full experience. It unlocks interactive elements and mini games scattered throughout the land that let me collect coins, hit question blocks, and track my score on the app. Without it I could still enjoy the rides and the theming, but a meaningful portion of what makes the land special is tied to having one. At around fifty dollars it is an added cost on top of an already expensive day, but for a Nintendo fan it justifies itself quickly. Weekday visits made a noticeable difference in wait times and gave me more room to engage with the interactive elements without feeling rushed. The land rewards people who slow down and explore rather than just moving through it as efficiently as possible, and there is enough packed into the space that I could spend a solid chunk of the day here without feeling like I had exhausted it.

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.

For 2 tickets it's was coming up to almost $80. I looked online quickly and found they have Florida resident discounted tickets. For 2 people it ended up being around $65. Thankfully I looked online, because for $80 it is VERY overpriced for the experience. While it is an immersive experience and they have lots of views, interactions and beautiful marine life, I found that walking thru the aquarium lasted maybe an hour and that's with kids stopping and looking. They have lots of add ons and it seems that if you don't do the add ons then you pretty much just walk around, look at all the tanks, and do a touch tank that's pretty much it.

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.

We didn't sign up for anything extra, just general admission. We did buy gator food. It was kinda neat because you could essentially feed them any time throughout the walk! There's lots of signage with literature about the gators and history. We really enjoyed our time here, excited to come back if we're in town again!

I was in Orlando for work and decided to spend my Friday going to the most Floridian attraction I…read morecould find. This place was so much fun and did not disappoint! There is so much to see and do there. I was pleasantly surprised by how large the whole place was. I got there right at opening at 10am to sign up for the capybara experience, but the petting zoo did not open until 11am, so the gentleman at the ticketing gate recommended that I line up around 10:55am. The capybara experience was $15, and it includes a 10-minute time slot from 2-3pm to feed and pet capybaras. If that is all you are here for, apparently Gatorland does allow re-entry so you can just reserve a time slot and come back during your assigned time. I would highly recommend this experience if you are even remotely interested. It was a really cool opportunity, and I did not feel rushed or crowded at all during my time slot (12 people total). Other than that, I enjoyed the shows and train ($3 for unlimited rides all day). There are a variety of animals to see outside of just alligators and crocodiles, so I think there is something for everyone. This is an affordable option ($34) for a day of fun that does not involve large crowds. I spent about 4-5 hours here but could have probably stayed longer if it were not so hot. The website says food and drinks are not allowed, but honestly no one checked. Free parking is a plus!

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.
