Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum

Madame Tussaud’s is one of those places where you’ll either be carefree, snapping away selfies posing with all the waxworks, or, you’ll be cautiously looking over your shoulder the whole time thinking that one of them moved. If you want to get up close and personal with your favorite popstars, superheroes, and so much more, now is your chance! Meet your idols…or at least an extremely realistic likeness of them, and, as if you didn’t think things could get any better, you’ll even have the chance to bring home a custom-made wax sculpture of your very own hand…just what you always wanted!

SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium

Kids love aquariums, and parents will love that the kids are keeping entertained in an educational atmosphere! The glimmering colored lights and reflections dancing off the water can be a welcome tranquil breather, to an otherwise action and adrenaline-filled vacation. Everyone in the family can enjoy spotting all the brightly colored creatures hiding within the coral, and giving them cute names…or is that just me? You’ll be able to take in some incredible sights around the aquarium, particularly in the 360-degree ocean tunnel and the mesmerizing Jelly Wall, which is totally tenta-cool! Oh, and while you’re there, go say hi to Annie Anemone and Steve Starfish from me!

The Orlando Eye

It would be difficult to leave off the one thing that’ll catch your eye as soon as you rock up to Icon Park, you definitely can’t miss this gigantic Orlando landmark! Standing at an impressive 400 feet tall, The Orlando Eye is a 20-minute ride in the sky that is guaranteed to take your vacation to new heights! You’ll enjoy 360-degree panoramic views from this incredible attraction, and be able to see for miles around, including theme parks, downtown Orlando, and stunning Florida landscape. You’ll even get a heads-up of what the traffic is like before heading back to your hotel, or to the next activity on your itinerary!
