What to know
Pros & cons
Pros
- Hands-on marine experience with touch pools, a 360-degree underwater ocean tunnel, and live sea creatures that kids cannot get at a standard activity venue
- Fully indoor and climate-controlled, so the party stays comfortable regardless of Florida heat or summer thunderstorms
- The Ranger Pack turns the visit into a self-guided mission with a magnifying glass and missions, keeping kids engaged as they explore
Keep in mind
- No dedicated party room and no outside food, drinks, or decorations are permitted, so this is an admission-style celebration rather than a traditional cake-and-presents party
Planning tips
Helpful planning tips
Book through the group sales team at OrlandoSales@merlinentertainments.biz well in advance, since the birthday rate requires a minimum of 10 child tickets.
Pick the Ultimate package if your group includes kids 40 inches and taller, since it bundles both the Ranger Pack and the Virtual Reality ride for $39.99 per child.
Plan to eat before or after at one of the ICON Park restaurants, because outside food is not allowed and the venue has no party room for serving cake.
Arrive about 15 minutes early because all guests in the party must enter the aquarium at the same time.
Confirm each child's height before choosing a VR package, as riders must be at least 40 inches tall for the manta ray encounter.
