Theme Parks
They are some of the main attractions in the area for Memorial Day fun. Orlando’s many theme parks are the perfect place to spend a day or a whole trip. The many activities, attractions, rides, and more at the Disney parks, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND will keep everyone busy whether you’re there for a day, a week, or longer. Make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and other sun protection and stay hydrated and fed for a comfortable day at your chosen park.
Chocolate Kingdom Factory Tour
Chocolate lovers of any age will want to add this sweet stop to the top of their must-see list during an Orlando vacation this Memorial Day. Chocolate Kingdom’s Factory Adventure Tour is an interactive tour that takes you from the cocoa bean all the way to the creamy, delicious chocolate treats you love to snack on.
Your Personal Chocolate Tour Guide teams up with a “handsome prince” and the prince’s dragon sidekick for an adventure like no other. You’ll go through a Cacao Tree Greenhouse, a unique Chocolate Museum, the Mystical River of Chocolate, and finally the Micro Batch Bean-to-the-Bar Factory that utilizes old-world machinery in the creation of delicious chocolate desserts. The 45-minute tour includes samples along the way, and for an additional fee you can customize your own chocolate bar at the end of the tour.
Crayola Experience
Color new memories this Memorial Day. Experience every color of the Crayola rainbow. The attraction is a two-story, 70,000-square-foot experience featuring 26 hands-on activities that will inspire budding arts of any age.
Catch a live manufacturing show and see just how crayons are made, make digital art on an interactive wall, create unique keepsakes or your own coloring page as you or your favorite character as the star, and even create, name, and wrap your own Crayola crayon to take home.
Madame Tussauds Orlando
Located on International Drive along with many other must-see attractions for your Memorial Day getaway, Madame Tussauds wax museum features life size and life-like wax models. Get up close with many of the U.S.’s top actors, sports stars, pop icons, political and historical figures, and others. Each category/group of stars and celebrities has its own room, and the figures are organized and placed for great opportunities for silly photos with you and your loved ones posed in the shot, too.
If you want to see yourself carved in wax, it will take three to four months for the professional team of artists and sculptors to perfect your image using over 200 different body measurements to capture everything that’s unique about you.
Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!
Experience the weird and the fascinating this Memorial Day. Head to the museum full of artifacts and displays that will definitely have you and your loved ones saying, “I don’t believe it!” Marvel at the strange collection of oddities like a shrunken human head, odd fossilized creatures, and other pieces from world traveler Robert Ripley’s crazy collection. Another unbelievable exhibit is centered around Mr. Ripley himself. At the height of his career, he averaged 3,000 letters a day for over 20 years. That’s more mail than any other individual in history to that point.
The Escape Game Orlando
Gather your group this Memorial Day and work together to solve a series of clues and puzzles to break out the themed room in 60 minutes or less. There are different themed rooms to choose from, each with varying degrees of difficulty and recommended number of people and age range to solve.
