Fun Spot America Theme Parks

The basics

Don’t discredit Fun Spot as merely a roadside attraction. These exciting spaces offer midway games and free events to pair with their thrill rides and go kart tracks. Add in shorter wait times, longer operating hours, and cheaper tickets compared to the larger theme parks and you’ve got an affordable, accessible day. With indoor and outdoor attractions, Fun Spot is a great year-round attraction even when it’s a little chilly or rainy.

To maximize your fun in Orlando, search for tourist passes that combine multiple attraction admission tickets into a single pass. Some passes may include free meals for children while others let you choose a set number of attractions to visit across several days, which saves you money in the long run.

Things to know before you go

• Parking and admission to both parks is free; all games and rides can be paid for individually or with day passes.

• Both locations feature multiple food options, as well as full-day dining plans.

• Each park also features rides designed for children at a minimum height of 24”

How to get there

Fun Spot Orlando is located at 5700 Fun Spot Way, near Interstate 4 and Universal Studios Florida. Fun Spot Kissimmee is located at 2850 Florida Plaza Boulevard next to Old Town. Getting to both locations is relatively easy, even walkable if your hotel is close by, though most visitors use a private car. Rideshares and taxis are available, plus Lynx bus lines 8, 37, 42, 55, and 56 serve these locations.

When to get there

As with all Central Florida entertainment areas, crowds are common. Get there around opening times if you want to limit ride queue wait times. Keep in mind that these are outdoor amusement parks so sun and rain exposure are prevalent, especially in the summer months. Typically late operating hours offer an option to visit after sunset for a cooler, though likely still crowded, experience.

How parents can relax at Fun Spot

Adults who are keen to put their feet up under the sun should look to the cabana rental at Fun Spot Orlando. An all day rental includes a lounger, tables and chairs, water bottles and a private refrigerator, a ceiling fan, safe, and more. Parents can kick back and relax in the shade while the kids safely explore the park.

Ways to explore

To save time in long admission lines, many visitors choose to book their Fun Spot tickets in advance. Admission passes typically grant access to unlimited rides. For a more comprehensive exploration of Orlando, some travelers opt for an Orlando Go City Pass—the All-Inclusive Pass grants access to 30-plus attractions, including Fun Spot America, Daytona International Speedway, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and sightseeing bus and boat tours. For a bird’s-eye view of the theme park, consider a private helicopter tour of Orlando.
