meet-and-greets, and more.
ICON Park
A 20-acre, walkable entertainment destination in
the heart of Orlando’s International Drive, ICON Park
is the perfect place to ride, dine, drink and explore. There

shops and can’t-miss attractions, all anchored by
The Wheel, a 400-foot observation wheel with beautiful
views of Central Florida.

Science Center. Through May 3, rappel into
the world of spies at its newest exhibit, Top Secret:
License to Spy. With your detective hat on and notebook

night. The whole family will enjoy watching as cowboys
take the ring for bull riding, barrel racing, rope tricks
and more. Get your boots ready because there are plenty
of opportunities for audience interaction.
One Tank Trips for Spring Break
You don’t have to travel far for Spring Break to
have a good time. From the west coast to the east
coast, here are a few Central Florida hotspots.
CLEARWATER BEACH
Known for its miles of beautiful beaches along the Gulf
of Mexico, Clearwater is perfect for boating, fishing or
just laying out. But a getaway here means more than
just taking part in water sports and soaking up the sun.
You will find all kinds of adventures at this island paradise.
Be sure to visit Winter the dolphin at Clearwater
Marine Aquarium and head down to the pier for the
nightly Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival, complete with crafters,
street performers and musicians.
PONCE INLET
This relaxed beach town near Daytona is the perfect
spot for surfers as well as regular beach goers who
just want to lie in the sand and soak up the sun. While
you’re there, climb to the top of Florida’s tallest lighthouse,
the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station and learn
about the area’s history at the lighthouse museum. Go
deep sea fishing with a charter company in the area, or
have a picnic at Lighthouse Point Park, where you can
also walk the nature trails or swim.
