Hotels near ICON Park Orlando
In Front of Tin Roof, Orlando, FL 32819, USA
ICON Park anchors the mid-section of International Drive with a free outdoor entertainment district built around The Wheel, a 400-foot observation Ferris wheel that stood as the tallest of its kind on the US East Coast when it opened. A single 20-minute rotation gives 360-degree views out to Walt Disney World Resort's Cinderella Castle on clear days; tickets are $34.99 adults and $29.99 children (ages 3-11). The 20-acre complex also hosts SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium ($37) and Madame Tussauds Orlando ($37), sold together as a combi ticket for $52.
The plaza itself is free to walk and stays open until 2am, with more than 40 restaurants and bars ranging from Yard House to the seven-restaurant Sugar Factory. Museum of Illusions Orlando added a location on the north side in 2023 with more than 70 optical exhibits ($27.90). This makes an easy evening stop after a full theme-park day since parking is free and the layout is open-air.
Pro Tip: Ride The Wheel about 30 minutes before sunset - you get the daytime skyline on the way up, sunset horizon at the top, and city lights coming on during the descent, all on one $34.99 ticket. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings run 20% quieter than weekends.
