Orlando’s International Drive runs all the way from Universal Theme Park down to Walt Disney World. It’s filled with hotels, restaurants, bars and things to do. If you need a break away from the bustling theme parks, this is a brilliant place to go.
These are our top picks of things to do…
I-Drive NASCAR Kart Racing
This indoor racing track is the place to go to get an adrenaline rush and release your inner competitiveness. With over 12 turns and karts that reach up to 45km/h (45km has never felt so fast!), this racing track will leave you wanting to go again and again.
If racing isn’t for you, there’s also bowling, pool tables and arcade games galore to entertain you.
Prices are from $18.99 for adults and $16.00 for kids.
The Escape Game
Put your problem-solving skills to the test in Orlando’s Escape Game. These 5 intricately designed escape rooms will make you frustrated, excited and get your brain working to the maximum as you race against the clock.
The different rooms available are:
- The Heist: Work against the clock to recover a famous piece of art that has been stolen
