Inside each air-conditioned pod are interactive touchpads that tell you more about the sights and area around ICON Park™ Orlando.

- Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Orlando
Your family won’t believe their eyes when they see the artifacts, objects, and models of the weird, unusual, and fantastic! In fact, they might be in disbelief from the parking lot since the building appears to be tilting as it slides into a sinkhole.
