Riding The Wheel at Orlando’s Icon Park
For years I have driven by The Wheel here in Orlando, but never actually went for a ride. At 400 ft. tall it dominates the Orlando skyline and looks especially cool at night.
We decided to give it a try. So glad we did! This is one of the best non-theme park attractions in Orlando.
This one-of-a-kind wonder has been a part of some pretty incredible Orlando milestones.
From hosting celebrities to throwing some of the hottest parties in town, The Wheel at Icon Park has become an ambassador of local hospitality and symbol of pride for Central Florida.
In April 2019, after claiming fame under several different monikers over the years, Orlando’s star attraction finally received a name worthy of singular footprint in the community – The Wheel. Simple and plaintive, it represents the unpretentious spirit of family and friendship shared across the city of Orlando.
You’'ll find The Wheel at Icon Park just outside of Universal Orlando Resort, and just up the road on I-4 from Walt Disney World.
