ICON park is located between Universal blvd and International Drive just a few blocks south of Sand Lake Road. Their website advertises 50+ shops, free parking, and several alternatives to visiting the local theme parks. The free parking is in the large multi-story parking garage above the 4th floor. Access is a direct walkway to all ICON park items. There is a large building on the east side that houses the Sea Life aquarium, a food court, the Wheel entrance, restrooms, and a game room. To the west of this building, there is a central open courtyard that offers a soft artificial grass area that many use to congregate, play ball or relax. There are several restaurants and shops around the courtyard. Please pay attention to the hours of operation as most of the stores open after 10 am so if you are an early riser you may want to find other things to do and visit when it opens. The shops include a coffee shop, restaurants (tapas, American fare, fish and chips), a VR shop, and gift shops. There were small trains that you could take a ride on around the complex starting right outside the large building that offers access to the aquarium and the wheel. As an added bonus, for you thrill seekers, on the northwest corner of the complex there is a flying chair ride called the Starflyer which bills itself as a ride with double-seat swings, offering views from 450 feet up. Overall, ICON park is a nice experience and a pleasant alternative to theme parks.

It was a great location but a little too touristy for my tastes. The Ferris Wheel had great views but was a little pricey. The restaurants were plentiful but nothing stood out. Its a nice deviation but nothing special

We went after the golf next door. Was very noisy awful music playing. The stuff to do is expensive. $35 to do the bungee/ ride $6 for shaved ice ! Didn't dare ask how much the wheel was. There was a strong smell of drugs there so we didn't stay long

Dont bother. So expensive. The staff clearly don't want to be there. Was grunted at by all but one. The wheel was okay nice view but nothing tells you about what you can see. Complete waste of time and money really dont bother breaking up you day with a visit here. Museum's of illusion was the best part but that takes just 20 minutes at most.

A great place to kill some time on I-drive. Big wheel, sling shot, aquarium, arcade, gift shops, bars and restaurants. The Madame Tussaud’s looked a bit dodgy though.
