Overview
ICON Park is the entertainment heart of International Drive, anchored by The Wheel — a 400-foot observation wheel formerly known as the Orlando Eye — alongside dozens of restaurants, bars and attractions.
Unlike Orlando's ticketed theme parks, ICON Park itself is free to enter; you only pay for the individual attractions and venues you use.
