About The Company
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).
