Combine ICON Park attractions
The Wheel, SEA LIFE and Madame Tussauds are side by side. Multi-attraction tickets save money if you plan to do two or three.
Evenings are the best time
I-Drive is at its liveliest after dark, when The Wheel lights up and restaurants fill. Save indoor attractions for hot afternoons.
Good to know before you book
- Traffic on I-Drive is heavy in the evening. The trolley or walking is often faster.
- Parking at attractions is usually paid; many hotels charge for parking too.
- Many tours with hotel pickup collect from I-Drive hotels.
- Sidewalks are wide, but crossings are long. Use marked crosswalks.
How we rank
We compare every matching experience listed on Viator for the Orlando area and rank them with a weighted score that balances the average traveler rating with the number of reviews, so a few perfect scores cannot outrank thousands of consistent ones. Transport-only services and listings Viator flags as inactive are left out, and near-duplicate listings are grouped. Prices and ratings refresh each time we update our data. We may earn a commission when you book, which never affects the ranking. See our disclosure.
