Standing in the larger-than-life footprints of Orlando’s most legendary philanthropist, ICON Park was honored to receive the Harris Rosen Philanthropy Award from the International Drive Chamber of Commerce. Each year, one company is chosen for demonstrating exceptional philanthropic work that makes our community, and world, a better place. Previous winners of the prestigious award include Universal Orlando Resort and the Orlando/ Orange County Convention Center. Thank you to the hundreds of tourism leaders and charitable organizations who celebrated with us at the event, and chamber leadership Maria Triscari and Tammy Bateman, LCAM, CHA for making our destination such a special place to live and work. A thriving tourism engine powers our community and creates successful businesses that are able to give back and share resources with others. ICON Park is proud to have partnered with hundreds of worthy organizations that help Orlando thrive, from those providing food and shelter, to those keeping all of us safe, to those helping children and families get the resources they need.

Orlando’s favorite place to enjoy world-class dining, bars, live entertainment, attractions, shops and The Orlando Eye.
About us
ICON Park is a 20-acre, walkable, turnstile-free entertainment destination in the heart of Orlando’s International Drive ( located less than one mile from the Orange County Convention Center). A perfect place to meet friends, family, and colleagues. ICON Park has terrific restaurants, bars, boutique shops, and attractions, all anchored by The Wheel, a jaw-dropping observation wheel that stands 400 feet – 40 stories – in the air - the best view of Orlando and certainly the best vista of Universals Epic Adventure. Welcoming groups from 15 - 5,000, take your next event to new heights from private air-conditioned capsules at 400 feet to the Sky Lounge, Orlando's only venue located at the base of an attraction. Guests can visit SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium, Madame Tussauds Orlando, Museum of Illusions, Max Action Arena, and so much more! Little ones can ride a toddler-sized train or enjoy the nostalgic Carousel on the promenade. ICON Park offers a diverse mix of lunch, dinner, and late-night dining restaurants that satisfy various flavors and cuisines. The Wheelhouse, the center of energy at ICON Park, is where you embark on The Wheel, and it also holds the Wheelhouse Market, a food hall offering authentically prepared family dining options. It features made-to-order pizza and pasta, Latin-inspired fare, and a selection of craft beers, including two proprietary ICON Park Brews available at The Wheelhouse Bar. Our full-service restaurants are Brother Jimmys BBQ, Yard House, Tapa Toro Tapas Bar, Uncle Julio’s Mexican, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Sugar Factory, Sloppy Joes and Buffalo Wild Wings. Quick-casual stops include Shake Shack, iCafe Paris, and Hagen Daas Ice Cream. Tin Roof serves up food, drink, and live entertainment, every night of the week. (ICON Park was developed by a partnership among New York-based Flag Luxury, Orlando-based Unicorp National Development, and Las Vegas-based Torino Companies).

Pound the drums and roll out the blue carpet! Blue Man Group just announced their much-anticipated return to Orlando AND a new home at ICON Park – with an immersive, custom theater that will welcome guests at our Universal Boulevard entrance. With their unique blend of creative energy and multi-sensory entertainment, the globally renowned Blue Man Group is a perfect addition to the many world-famous entertainment brands found throughout the 20-acre ICON Park. The award-winning theatrical productions and iconic characters of Blue Man Group celebrate human connection. Audiences are immersed in a live, multi-sensory, energetic performance with art, live music, comedy, special effects and non-verbal communication (which connects all ages and languages). Since the show’s original debut in New York, the beloved phenomenon has reached more than 50 million people worldwide with additional domestic residencies in Boston, Chicago and Las Vegas, an international residency in Berlin, and multiple North American and World Tours. The company took a three-year hiatus from Orlando after wrapping up a successful 14-year run (in 2021 during COVID) to determine the right time, place and concept to return. We’re thrilled for ICON Park to become their home base in the country’s No. 1 destination, and look forward to building out their new residency. The Blue Man Group experience at ICON Park is currently in the development planning stage and approval process, with the goal of opening late 2024. Stay tuned for more exciting updates.

Last week, over a 1,000 guests from Cognizant took over ICON Park for a party to remember! The night was filled with enticing food, spectacular live entertainment, and beautiful views. Creating truly wow experiences for all who attended the night's festivities. The celebrations began at Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, Blake Shelton’s Ole Red Orlando, and Helena Modern Riviera, with staples from their menus such as Southern Style BBQ sliders, Honey Hot Chicken and Waffle Bites, and both seafood and vegetable Paella. Plus, scrumptious assorted handmade desserts and pastries. The party didn’t stop with just great food, each restaurant had their own live entertainment so there was something for everyone to enjoy! They had karaoke at Brother Jimmy’s; a Jimmy Buffet Tribute band at Ole Red; and a DJ, salsa dancing, a cigar roller, a 360-photo booth, and an aerialist at Helena. The Orlando Eye and The Carousel on The Promenade were delightful additions, with the 400-ft views of the Orlando Cityscape adding another flare of fun to the overall feeling to the event. At the height of the night, The Lawn was opened up in a grand reveal and a mini-concert by the local band, The Grand Party Experience, kept the vibes high into the late night. ICON Park, alongside The Pacific Staging Company Inc., curated a fantastic event that created lasting memorable moments for all of the guests from Cognizant. Thank you, Cognizant and Pacific Staging, for hosting your 2024 Block Party at ICON Park!

Today, we announce another milestone development for ICON Park as a global leader in location-based entertainment, as we welcome a new tenant - The Orlando Eye. We proudly share that Merlin Entertainments has purchased the 400-ft. Wheel and Carousel attractions at ICON Park, choosing our 20-acre destination to expand their footprint of world-class brands in Central Florida. ICON Park built the attraction as the tallest observation wheel on the U.S. East Coast and successfully developed it into a famous Orlando landmark. We’re delighted to welcome it now as one of our outstanding ICON Park tenants. Renamed today The Orlando Eye at ICON Park, the attraction expands Merlin’s portfolio of family-friendly entertainment experiences in Orlando including two at ICON Park with SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium and Madame Tussauds Orlando, and the nearby LEGOLAND® Florida Resort and Peppa Pig Theme Park Florida. In its announcement, Merlin recognizes this 400-ft. icon as “a top attraction in the country’s tourism capital” and we couldn’t agree more!
