Get a bird’s eye view from the park by riding the Ferris wheel. Then, spend some time in Fun Spot’s arcade stocked with popular, new and classic games alike. To qualify for a group rate you must have at least 15 people visiting the park. There are multiple packages available, but the best bang for your buck would be to purchase one that allows everyone to have unlimited turns on the rides. 2850 Florida Plaza Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34746
