Orlando is recognized for more than just being home to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld. The city earned its title of “Theme Park Capital of the World” by offering more than these three staple theme parks. The ones you may have forgotten about bring endless fun to the City Beautiful all the same.
Fun Spot America
This tried-and-true Orlando theme park literally has fun in its name: Fun Spot America! This family-owned theme park hails from Central Florida with two locations residing in Orlando and Kissimmee and one in Fayetteville, Georgia.
Fun Spot offers family-friendly fun for thrill seekers and theme park lovers alike. This attraction boasts over 25 exciting rides, carnivalesque games, an arcade, and high-speed go-kart tracks.
Orlando’s one and only wooden roller coaster resides in Fun Spot Orlando: White Lightning. Similarly, a wooden-steel hybrid coaster called Mine Blower can be found at Fun Spot Kissimmee.
Feel the adrenaline rush through your body as you soar on the suspended steel coaster, the Freedom Flyer or skydiving from one — or both — of the world’s tallest SkyCoasters.
If you’re looking for an Orlando theme park that offers great value and an exceptional time, Fun Spot is the way to go. You can purchase all-day access to any Fun Spot location for $59.95 online and see how this park lives up to its name.
LEGOLAND
Watch your childhood figurines come to life in this action-packed Central Florida theme park: LEGOLAND.

Gatorland
Florida is well known for its gators, and you can see them live and in action from “The Alligator Capital of the World®,” Gatorland. Gatorland doubles as a theme park and gator sanctuary and is located on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando.
Become one with wildlife through one of Gatorland’s many experiences. The Screamin’ Gator Zip Line spans over seven stories high and sets you sailing across 1,200 feet of pure wildlife.
Gatorland’s newest attraction, Croc Rock, challenges your inner adventurer with a 32-foot rock-climbing wall, a 150-foot swinging cable bridge, and a ride on a 350-foot zip line.
Get up close and personal with the gators and embark on the Stompin’ Gator Off-road Adventure at Gatorland. Trek through the swamps on a rugged adventure aboard the 12-foot-high off-road monster vehicle filled with singing tour guides and iconic Gatorland characters.
You can also enjoy a variety of other attractions at Gatorland, such as live gator shows, adventure hour, barnyard petting and feeding, gator gauntlet, gator night shine, or trainer for a day.
Your Gatorland Orlando adventures start at $21.99 for single-day admission. Tickets can be purchased online.
