So we came here for my birthday as my wife surprised me. We drove up and right away you can see the tanks and acp etc. We walked in and met the staff. Everyone is a marine. They made that very clear. We then moved to a room where the guy gave us the talk. We then watched a 20 min video. We then met the lead guy for the tank and jumped right in. I drove the tank and my wife and friend sat behind. I drove two laps and honestly did real well. It was a great experience and recommend others to do it. I would come back for another go.

I bought my husband the Commander Package for Christmas and we finally made our way out here a few weekends ago. 10/10 experience, we had SO MUCH FUN! We booked the 10am reservation because we know Florida gets hot so we wanted to beat it as much as possible. There was a safety briefing and option to add anything on in advance, but you still have the option to keep going or add on different experiences while you're out driving. Instead of going into combat mode for our third round my husband decided to let me drive a lap. The guide was great in helping us how to drive the tank and when to make turns. Would absolutely recommend this activity!

My mom and I were supposed to go alligator hunting but the guide lost an arm about 10 days before our reservation. So we crushed a car!

My mom and I were supposed to go alligator hunting but when the guide lost his arm a week before our reservation. This was the next best choice! Had a blast! Thanks - Oorah

The other day my husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary , I seen a billboard for Tank America !! We had a blast (they also offer military discount) hubby and I met on the same ship 20 years ago! I totally recommend this place.

This is a must do! What a great venture to give everyday people the opportunity to do what our military does! Everyone at Tank America was incredible! Beginning with John who followed up with me for almost 3 months while I was able to finally coordinate a date. He gave me the perfect itinerary for our family of 5, strongly recommend the full mile, even 2! Brandon was incredibly welcoming and funny! He gave us all the proper instructions to make sure we knew what we were doing and made us feel safe. Cameron was our guide for the ride, he was phenomenal!!! He made sure my son felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire drive and assured my 6 year old and I were safe (as passengers). My husband drove the other tank, while my other son was a passenger. The location is so well set up, organized and very clean! Gotta love our Marines! Strongly recommend bringing cash to leave a well earned tip for these veterans who served our country and for the commendable work they are doing at Tank America. Truly an unforgettable experience, we can't wait to come back!

This was a pretty cool activity with friendly staff. The tanks were huge and was super fun watching them run over the cars. Bathrooms were super clean and the interior had an army vibe that elevated the venue. One of the employees explained to me how the tanks are able to be driven on regular roads because the they had been redesigned. She explained the cost and it was just a pleasure to have such an informative conversation. They close the venue for private events and let me just say, this is a cool thing to do.

WTF do I really have to say... you get to drive a f'n tank!!!!! For real a tank! What a great time this was. The entire staff was amazing! These marines know how to make sure you have a good time and they are all super nice, accommodating, and too good of salespeople. They know how to get your money and they aint shy about it, lol. But in the end it was worth it. Its an experience most will never get to do. I wish it were cheaper so i could go back and do it again. Did i mention you actually drive a flipping tank!

Absolutely awesome- this was an incredibly awesome experience. My husband booked this for our sons birthday, and we went with three adults and one child. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and being the only woman of the group my expectations were not super high about the whole experience. our guides were Amelia and Justin, and it was an absolute blast! There is about a 30 minute "debriefing" where you have a fun introduction to the experience, the course, the history and mechanics of the fleet of tanks, and the driver gets the nuts and bolts on how to drive the tank. We then went out, and it was easy to get in and out of the passenger area of the tank, and my husband had an absolute blast driving the tank. They have video footage of the entire experience from all angles and my husband had me drive the last lap and it was one of the coolest things I've ever done. The guides were amazing, kind and patient and you can just tell that everyone there loves their job and what they are doing. We will definitely do this again, and I highly recommend it for anyone who is at all interested in the military or who just wants to drive a tank! The history of the tanks was really interesting, and I couldn't help but think of all of the servicemen and women who were in the same vehicle under very different circumstances, and have a deep respect for those soldiers. A definite must do for any family traveling to the Orlando area!

A group of us came to Tank America to celebrate a bachelor party. The groom was our driver and several members of our party rode as passengers. Kevin and Sean were awesome! Kevin was super friendly and informative. I learned a lot from him. Sean was the tank commander and everyone had a great time with him as well. They really took their time with us, made sure we got lots of pictures, and encouraged everyone to have lots of fun. One of our group members even decided to do a lap of his own as a driver! Everyone had a really good time. Our drivers were a bit dirty after their laps so we decided to skip laser tag. The laser tag looked like a lot of fun though so I'd love to go back to try it. If you want a unique experience that's fun for a group, you should definitely check out Tank America!

My daughter is obsessed with the water park -- it's her favorite part, and honestly, it's hard to beat on a hot Florida day. The setup is amazing, super clean, and well-organized, and the staff always makes sure everyone feels safe while still having tons of fun. Beyond the waterpark, they do such a great job hosting special events -- there's always something new and exciting happening. I definitely recommend checking their event calendar often because they plan the most creative, family-friendly activities throughout the year. It's also such a flexible and beautiful space -- whether you're spending the day on the water, grabbing snacks, or relaxing while the kids play, it's the perfect place to enjoy time together as a family. If you're in the Lake Nona area, Nona Adventure Park is a must. Great energy, great people, and endless fun for all ages!

My very favorite ride in the planet is the tilt a whirl and before getting our wristbands were specifically asked if it was running. It starts at 6pm on weeknights. We left the park for a few hours and came back at 6pm only to be told that was the only ride not operating. I know this happens but i was super bummed. It really was the main reason we went there.

They have so many different animals to spend time viewing and feeding. The types of animals you will get to see are turtles, a lynx, a Florida panther, goats, raccoon, birds, tortoises, lemur, macaque, obviously alligators of all sizes and more. We attended the show hosted and guided by Alex who was very informative and great at her job. She brought out various animals for us to hold and pet while talking about each one and the ability to answer any questions that came her way. We got to experience animals up close and personal that we would never have the opportunity to outside of being in the wild. Alex also led the alligator feeding show with the same level of professionalism and intellect as the indoor animal show. I highly recommend watching the gator feeding, they can get about half their huge bodies out of the water and they know their given names. In addition to the animal shows, Alex also led the boat tour. Absolutely get on the water and cruise around, don't sweat which side of the boat to sit on because you will get to experience both sides of the shoreline during the cruise. There is also a jungle nature trail to walk through that takes you through a real Florida swamp where you will see gators up close in their natural habitat and other animals like frogs, lizards and anything else that may exist in that environment. Becca at the front register was very sweet and helpful and was even willing to go out of her way to snap a few photos of us on my phone when we asked her to. The gift shop has tons of stuff to purchase as a souvenir and they also have drinks and snacks as well as an indoor seating area to cool off if it gets too hot out. I highly recommend you visit and support Jungle Adventures if you want to experience the quickly disappearing old and authentic Florida us Floridians love and want to preserve.

I held the baby alligator but opted out of holding the tarantula even though she seemed very nice.

This was my very first time visiting Icon Park, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised…read more The first thing I appreciated was the parking. They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy. I was actually on my way to a restaurant, so exploring the park wasn't part of the plan. But once I walked inside, I couldn't help but look around. There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back. It was filled with excitement for both children and adults, and I'm looking forward to exploring it even more on my next visit.

Overall, I think this is a great place to check out if you are in Orlando…read more We came here because we have Legoland gold passes which means we get free admission to sea life, Madame Tussaud's, and the Orlando Eye. All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

Visited Universal Studios Florida for a fun night of frightening scares at Halloween Horror Nights…read more After regular park hours, the park remains open for this event. The park is transformed into a huge medley of ten themed haunted houses that are located throughout the entire amusement park. Its no possible way to knock all haunted houses out in one visit. For me and my party, we only got to complete 4 of the haunted houses; Sinners, Stranger Things 5, Hellraiser, and H.R. Bloodengutz: A Halloween Fright-Tacular! The wait times for each house we got into ranged from 55 minutes to 80 minutes. That was the pain point of the whole experience but we passed the time by playing a game of charades, doing a tik tok trend, or grabbing a signature drink at the drink stations setup near each haunted house. Each house had a duration of about 5 to 10 minutes walk-through. There was several jump scares throughout each one. Also, as you walk to other haunted houses, there are scary characters walking around to terrorize you. It was also cool to see halloween themed food options throughout the amusement park too. I would totally recommend coming for a visit if you like to be frightened or just want to eat, drink, and be scary instead of merry.

My friends and I chose Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure since we had small kids with us and I don't regret our choices. I'm not a roller coaster girl but the roller coasters definitely were impressive from what my friends had told me. I'm the one who walks around and helps carries bags while I eat and drink all day. I definitely had a good time even though my feet didn't think so. I love the options of food and the different themes in each of the parks. At Universal Studios, we hung out mostly at Harry Potter and loved seeing the train and taking the train to the next park. Lines were not horrible but definitely fast pass sounds like it would make a difference in line. Doesn't help if you go with very impatient people, but we made due. The turkey leg I got at the Simpson's side of the park was awesome! That turkey leg lasted me so long and I loved the novelty of the things they sold there! There is a lot to see! It's definitely more fun when you have kids with you to experience it all. Next time I do want to check out the new Epic Universe and the Volcano Bay.

For a newer Disney ship, I honestly didn't notice a huge difference from the older ones. But let's talk about what really matters: THE FOOD. Enchanted Garden was our favorite dining spot. Bright, beautiful, and actually LIGHT ENOUGH TO READ THE MENU. Maybe it's my age, but I'm officially over restaurants so dimly lit that I need my phone flashlight to figure out what I'm ordering. Three-course dinners meant smaller portions, but that just gave us more room to enjoy each course. Sharing desserts and trying new foods? Absolutely. Overeating on vacation? 1,000%. Pre-dinner snacks included crispy French fries, ridiculously crunchy chicken tenders, and all the soft-serve ice cream our hearts desired. Vanilla and mango were our favorites! Mreakfast was a whole different challenge. Mickey churro waffles, smoked salmon, crispy hash brown patties, and ALL the fresh fruit (which somehow tastes better when you're not the one cutting it). At Cabanas, the buffet lunch favorites included fresh shrimp, international eats, and whatever dessert was making its daily debut. With all that eating, I was happy to burn off some fuel at the gym. There was a good variety of cardio machines, weight equipment, and free weights. I just wish the lifting area were more spacious, although the glass panels in certain spots doubled as mirrors! Room service was fantastic, and twice-daily room cleaning? As a Type A organization fanatic, I felt SEEN. Nothing says vacation like someone else keeping things tidy. Would I cruise Disney again? Probably not, with the kids getting older. But Disney will always be near the top of my list for families looking for fun, delicious eats, and an actual chance to RELAX on vacation. Because let's be honest, keeping kids entertained while someone else handles the cooking, cleaning, and planning - that's the real magic!

Major dietary restriction failures and zero accountability from management…read more If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, be extremely cautious sailing with Disney Cruise Line. Communicating your needs directly to your staff is simply not enough to keep your food safe. I do not eat pork. Even though I added this to my profile before the cruise, the system failed to save it. I verbally informed my servers at every single meal including the breakfast and lunch staff at Royal Court going over the menu each time. On our last full day at sea, two separate incidents occurred: first, lunch soups at Royal Court arrived with unlisted pork (sausage in the lentil soup and bacon in the clam chowder) not disclosed on the menu, leaving the servers completely unaware. That night at dinner, after explicitly requesting pork free sides with my beef entree, my plate was still served with pork. Worst of all was the dining supervisor response. While she did apologize for the menu error regarding the lunch soups, she placed the full blame on me for the dinner incident. She claimed I had not informed the staff, and later stated that when a guest notifies a server of an unlisted restriction, the server protocol is to direct the guest to Guest Services to update their file. None of the servers I spoke to throughout the entire trip ever gave me this guidance. Instead of taking responsibility for her team failure to follow Disney own procedures, the manager deflected blame onto the guest. Ending our last full day at sea this way completely ruined our vacation experience. Disney heavily advertises its handling of special diets, but their lack of staff protocol execution and defensive management proved otherwise. I will not be returning.

We took an uber to the park from our hotel. They have a section for ride share and with parking prices it is about the same w uber prices round trip. So choose what works best for you. I will say having someone do the driving after a long day of walking made my day so much easier. Before you enter the park there is a stand w Super Nintendo power bands. Grab them there if you plan on participating in the fun around that universe. Once in the Nintendo you can get started right away versus battling a souvenir store to get the power bands, you'll already have them ready to go. When you enter the park, go to ministry of magic first, then Isle of Berk, then Dark Universe and save the finale of Super Nintendo world. This is based on arriving at the park at 10am and not having to wait longer than 30 mins for any ride based on going on a Thursday. Many people will rush to Super Nintendo first and the wait times are super long. The power bands also work in DK country. Make sure you have the universal app so you can watch your progress of collecting all the stamps, coins and power ups, if you find 3 keys you can go to Bowser's castle. Food was typical of an amusement park, not bad but not great. Lots of themed restaurants in each park, similar cuisine in all of them. Watch the water fountain show at the celestial center, it's beautiful and there's fun music that goes with it.

That ride was my least favorite due to nauseating simulation. How To Train Your Dragon and Mario World were so accurate and my faves. Brought such joy and nostalgia. Food was a challenge. I suggest getting food close to front of the park otherwise all there is is small kioks for snacks. Very disappointing. And the Coke Freestyle machines were cool for free water and ice, if there was ice. We brought our reusable cups to fill. Hydration game one. Plus finding real ice cream (not popscicles) was a scavenger hunt. We brought a few snacks in a back pack, but still bought a few snacks. Spent like $40 thr whole day on 2 people. Not bad. There are several sit down reataurants. I think signage in park needs to be better. There is an emphasis on using the app to navigate and little signage. Some rides you had no idea what it was because signs are small. So download the app. Overall, a great time. Go early and get your money's worth.
