International Drive

International Drive runs for miles and while you will be forced with dealing with the traffic you can most assuredly find something to do. Wether it is a WonderWorks exhibit or the large Orlando Ferris Wheel in ICON Park, there is everything from nightlife activities to food and other entertainment.

Dinner shows like Midevil Times gives you both food and entertainment at the same time. The shopping is diverse and along the drive is the Florida Mall. Dance clubs dot the drive and you can easily find whatever you are in the mood for.

Ripley’s Believe it or Not! is also located on I-Drive and boasts having some of the weirdest treasures for you to experience. Madame Tussauds is also located in ICON park, the wax museum is world renown for its lifelike celebrity wax figures. There is even a chocolate factory to get your sweet tooth taken care of as well.
