So, where to first?
Andretti Laser Tag & 1 Hour Arcade Time Play Card
It's time to settle old family scores. Get ready for full-throttle fun at Andretti's epic 4,000-square-foot laser tag arena. Dodge, dash, and dominate your way to victory across two floors. Choose from 10 game modes (including a zombie mode), customise your weapon settings, and take advantage of power-up energy gates, interactive wall targets, and multiple base stations. It's an all-out adrenaline rush guaranteed to get your heart racing faster than your morning coffee.
Once you've conquered the laser battlefield, keep the fun rolling in the arcade. With over 120 games at your fingertips for a full hour, you can challenge your family, beat high scores, and chase arcade glory. From old-school classics to cutting-edge games, plus air hockey, hoop toss, claw machines, and racing simulators, there's something for every kind of gamer.
Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures
Only a short drive from the Kissimmee area, this is the closest airboat excursion outlet to Florida's theme park hub.
Feel the rush of the wind as you skim across 32 acres of the Everglades' headwaters, witnessing wildlife in its natural habitat on a 30-minute airboat ride. Look out for gators, turtles, and birdlife like blue herons, spoonbills, and even bald eagles.
Once you've encountered Florida's wildlife, step off the airboat and into the Butterfly Garden, where 17 species of butterflies dance among the flowers. Watch them feed, pollinate, and flutter gracefully, or even hand-feed them nectar for a small fee. While you're soaking up the serenity, also keep an eye out for ducks, turtles, frogs, and the charming Bob White Quail within this lush oasis.
I-Ride Trolley
After all that activity, you've definitely earned a delicious pit stop. Hop aboard the I-Ride Trolley and explore International Drive with your FREE 7-day pass. From quick bites to themed dining hotspots, there's something for every craving. Grab a juicy burger at Shake Shack, spice things up at Café Tu Tu Tango, or tuck into an all-day breakfast at Hash House A Go Go because pancakes and waffles aren't just for mornings.

Once you're refuelled, it's time to shop 'til you drop. Use your I-Ride Trolley pass to hit up Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets and Orlando International Premium Outlets for big-name brands at bargain prices. For an open-air shopping experience, Pointe Orlando has got you covered with designer stores and must-have finds. What's more, the I-Ride Trolley whisks you to some of Orlando's top attractions, from mind-bending fun at WonderWorks to Discovery Cove's tropical paradise and the must-visit ICON Park.
Gatorland Special Adventure Package
Nature experiences start here with full-access to Gatorland. Feed gators, colourful birds, and farmyard friends with your free Crock Chow, bird stick, and petting zoo food cone. Then gather the family for exciting shows like the high-flying Gator Jumparoo, Alligators: Legends of the Swamp, and Up Close Encounters Show.
You’ll shake your head in disbelief as a daring staff member climbs into the alligator enclosure to demonstrate the gators' sharp survival skills. And you'll have the chance to pet a spider or even hold a snake. Finally, calm your nerves by hopping aboard the Gatorland Express Train for a scenic ride the whole family will love.
Orlando Eye
Rise above it all and take in Orlando like never before. The Orlando Eye is the city's 400-foot observation wheel at ICON Park, offering panoramic views of world-famous theme parks and the buzz of International Drive. On clear days, you can even spot the Kennedy Space Center over on Florida's Space Coast. Up close, you'll get a bird's-eye view of Universal Volcano Bay's Krakatau, SeaWorld Orlando's Mako coaster, and the unmissable Spaceship Earth at EPCOT.
At night, it's even prettier. The Orlando Eye glows from over 63,000 LED lights, glittering in the darkness. The wheel runs until 8pm on Sundays through to Thursdays, and until 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Once you've basked in the beauty, stick around ICON Park to shop, dine, or explore over 50 stores and attractions and keep the good times going.
Outta Control Magic Dinner Show
End your day on a high note with bottomless pizza, endless beer, and a whole lot of laughs. Board the I-Ride Trolley and head over to WonderWorks for the Outta Control Magic Dinner Show. This crowd-favourite is Orlando's longest-running dinner show and guarantees a night full of family fun.
The kiddos will be mesmerised by disappearing acts, card tricks, and mind-reading, while the adults will enjoy the witty humour flying through the air. It's 90 minutes of family-friendly entertainment that will also help your dining budget go further.
$20 Mall at Millenia Gift Card
Arrive with complimentary valet parking and treat yourself to a day of retail therapy at the Mall at Millenia with your $20 gift card. With over 150 stores available, such as Chanel, Sephora, Macy's, and Fabletics, there's somewhere for everyone here. When it's time to eat, we love The Cheesecake Factory or grabbing a quick bite at the food court with favourites like Starbucks and Johnny Rockets.
Located a short drive from International Drive, it’s the perfect pit stop between your Orlando adventures.
