ATTRACTIONS
The Most Iconic Entertainment Orlando residents and visitors have their pick of places to spend recreational time. Although Icon Park only opened in 2015, it has become one of the city’s premier attractions. According to Christopher Jaskiewicz, Icon Park’s president and CEO, being situated right off of I-4 and near the Orange County Convention Center makes the 20-acre entertainment destination ideal for busy families who want to pop in and enjoy as many of the 40-plus shops, eateries, and fun zones as they want.

“We are rolling,” says Jaskiewicz, who compares opening a new Orlando-area attraction to starting a football team in the SEC. “We are surrounded by established heavyweights that have been here for decades. It’s tough. We even went through a few name changes, like any start-up.” Does I-Drive ring any bells? Turn the page to learn more about Icon Park. (iconparkorlando.com) —Christina Cush
