History museum
Museums
Located next to the Magic Moment Resort and Kids Club, the Museum of Military History in Kissimmee tells the story of American military history through artifacts, photos, and personal stories. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is geared towards guests of all ages.
In the middle of a long stretch of tacky tourist nonsense, is this hidden gem! Full of history and items contributed by families of veterans. Staff are passionate about their knowledge and stories. Surprisingly affordable. Well laid out. Most items are well labeled, although I wish all items were labeled. The quality of their pieces, and the volume, are pleasantly surprising. Highly recommend.

This museum is fantastic. It looks small and unassuming from the outside, but once you enter the museum, it rivals any museum nationally. Only critique: 1. Gift shop is underwhelming. Needs historical themed socks, more items to buy. 2. The library needs to sell those books or have library card system.

Very awesome museum! Glad we came here for the last day of our trip to Orlando. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind and the information itself was enthralling.
Alexander Mulder — Google review
Students $9. There's a lot of stuff there but need more details about them because they don't have a guide. Each picture should have details on what it is exactly. you will be walking by yourself inside. Otherwise, it is a good place for history 👌
Carolann Joseph — Google review
They definitely have some interesting and detailed displays. Saw many things I've never seen in any other museum. The library, that you can join to check out books, has a very impressive collection of military and history books. Only reason for the 4/5 is it's a bit small. The whole thing only took just over an hour. Hopefully they can continue to expand and improve.

The building on the outside looks small, but don't let it deceive you. It is jam packed in there with a library! So very cool. I love how all of the items were donated to the museum. We were able to see the individual stories for a lot of our veterans for the different wars as well.

Cool exhibits... also the gift shop has a selection of historical used books and militaria! Could use more display space and additional signage for some models but a cool space where the staff loves history!

Great display of all military and wars. There was some construction going on, they are adding a display, but the workers really got in the way!! All in all I was very impressed with the collection of artifacts and history.

Very thoughtful design and layout of this military museum. They really did a fantastic job of making the most out of the space. There's so much to see and learn here I promise you will see something you missed your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th visits. Definitely a must if visiting Central Florida. Also, huge win on having a recent section for Vet's like myself to reflect on. OIF/OEF here. 06-07. Bonus. Very kid friendly.

We saw this place upon arriving in the Orlando area down from our hotel. My daughter is a history buff so we decided to visit the following day. Don't let the small appears of the building fool you. It's quite spacious inside and a friendly staff. It took us an hour and half to tour. When we arrived there was only two cars in the parking lots for a Wednesday afternoon but families slowly start coming.

Amusement park
Gatorland is an amusement park in Orlando, Florida. It offers attractions such as alligator and snake shows, a petting zoo, a water park & a zip line.
This place was so much fun for all of us. We really enjoyed the shows and the exhibits. They really should consider running two-three trains. I have to imagine that’s their highest complaint because really there isn’t anything else to complain about. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to enjoy working there. The gators were very cool to see as well and had very spacious and well kept habitats. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I know traveling to Orlando. Even my mom was able to sit on a gator. How cool?!
Cara Roth — Google review
Gatorland is a relatively small park that is is to navigate. Get your schedule for the shows and accommodate yourself accordingly by arriving early to each show, as seats fill up rather quickly, especially the shaded ones! All shows were amazing, I wouldn’t miss any of them. *The park is easily accessibly by wheelchair. I recommend wearing sneakers, lots of sand and uneven walkways. The restrooms could use and upgrade! The train was three dollars each, tickets were good for the entire day with unlimited rides. The kiddie park is pretty cool and can entertain a child for hours. The petting soon had quit a few very friendly animals and is an adventure that will be excite every age. The Swamp Buggy ride is a bit intense, if you have some physical limitations, I’d pass on this one. Zipline was about 99 minutes-long, you must make reservations prior for both. Dinning in the park was fairly inexpensive and pretty decent food for Park food with portions of surely fill you up. Sunscreen, a hat, and maybe even a spray water bottle will surely make your experience a lot more comfortable.

Excellent experience!!! It's the best way to see these magnificent animals face to face. You can even feed the young gators!! Everything is perfectly safe, and the staff cares a lot for these animals... you can see all the place in about 3-4 hours, 100% recommended!!
Óscar CL — Google review
This place is so under rated with all the theme parks taking away the attention. The entry ticket is so affordable and so much things to do in the park. We spent around 3 hours there, watched all the shows and explored all the crocodiles and alligators. Rather than spending $160 to animal kingdom, this place is so much nicer.
Q T — Google review
Love it! You can easily spend a day there, with plenty of things to do. We enjoyed the shows, all the animals and the staff were amazing. Don't forget to bring some change so you can buy food and feed the birds/alligators. I would skip the train ride, a total waste of time. Also the restrooms could use some renovation, they were very small and not clean. Bottom line: I would go back :)
Marom Lior — Google review
A definite must see. Very nice, clean place. The shows were really good; informative and comical. There’s over 2,000 gators overall plus other animals. They’re in the process of building a craft brew/beverage shop and an ice cream shop. They also have a small, beautiful water park area for kids with a machine available for drying off. They have a couple of zip lines and a train. Super nice place, super nice day.
Pat Bass — Google review
It looks small but damn it’s huge once you start walking. So much gators. Multiple shows at once to keep the visitors busy. Friendly staff. Albino gators. Huge gators everywhere. Go early for a quieter scenery. Ample free parking. Too bad the souvenirs doesn’t have real gator “things” like teeth necklaces or gator leather pieces.
JAW 314 — Google review
Loved it, I have been wanting to go for a while now!!! This place is pretty cool, loved the swamp walk- beautiful trees and foliage. The gators are everywhere and loads to do for the tiny humans and adults!! Tickets are decently priced, just wish you didn’t still have to wait in line when you purchased tickets online! Hopefully they will separate the two…. Make life easier and quicker. All in all, GO!!! It’s a lot of fun for everyone 😂🤣

The is the first time visit with kids. They had a great time. Place has more than just gators. Feeding the gators, very educational, reasonable prices, free parking, train ride for the family which goes around showing all the attractions and swamp. Excellent place to spend a few hours with the kids. Lots of walking and outdoor activities. You can see snakes, parrots, turtles, etc. It was a great very first time here.

Had a great time, I thought it might be a little cheesy but it was a pretty cool place. The kids really enjoyed the day there. The shows were fun and interesting. We took the swamp buggy ride which was fun. The guide was very entertaining. We rode the train which was also a lot of fun. It was a pretty hot day but it seemed like there were fans everywhere to help keep you cool.

Loved it. Was a great experience but you better wear your swim suite and walking shoes lol. My kids had a great time. There was a huge amount of different kind of gators and you can feed them and take close up pics with them. Highly recommend making this trip. 👌
Angelica Barela — Google review
Amazing experience! I've been here twice already and loved it each time. Pack your swimsuits they have a splash park for the kids, and it is much needed in this Florida heat, and the kids love it. I recommend seeing the shows they have throughout the day they are great. Employees are all very, very nice and do incredible parts in their rolls. Did the feeding of the gators right where you walk in? It was also an awesome experience.
Deborah Vega — Google review
If you buy the tickets online you save $3. Honestly this place was a lot of fun! I didn’t get to enjoy it to its fullest because there was a storm coming in like 15 minutes from when we got there but it was still pretty cool. They have lots of gator shows but I forgot to record those because I was so entertained. They also have a photo op (w/the gator from the video) for $10. Its a large park so you can spend 2+ hours there easy, just do better planning than I did.

My wife and I went just looking for something to do. We found it and so much more. There's plenty to do and see. The areas were neat and well kept. The animals were very active. Great place to take kids.

Overall this is a great place and I would highly recommend it for anybody looking to see and possibly hold a gator. Your kids will absolutely love this place along with you. I would definitely go if you've not gone and if you have gone I would go back and see what else you may have missed. I recommend this do any family looking to experience an outside environment much like a zoo.

Had a great time at this true Florida attraction. Took advantage of the Florida residents special so the price was very low. Great value for families even at regular price. We spent about 3 hours. You could spend more time if you do the extra things like zip lining. There was so much more to see and learn about than I realized. And so MANY LARGE gators. Everything was clean and the animals appear well cared for. We had lunch and it was basic but convenient. One of our favorite things though was the snarky humour on signs throughout the park.
Lynn Dierksen — Google review
This park is a lot of fun for the family. There is a lot to see from gators, snakes, birds, turtles, and much more. My family really enjoyed it. I will say the one down fall is, after paying the fee to get in you need to pay extra for everything else in the park as an add on. But again overall would recommend to anyone coming to visit Orlando.

SO MANY GATORS. Stopped here during our 2wk driving FL trip. It’s was a total highlight. I’d go again. Lots of other animals too. They decorated for Halloween as we were there in October. Which was super cool. I collect smashed pennies and they had lots of penny machines. They also have a wax figure machine. It’s of a man on his knee with a gator in black wax. These machines aren’t made anymore. I’ve only ever see one at the space needle in Seattle Wa. It’s a very cool souvenir. I was ecstatic to get one!

Super recommended. We loved it. The next trip to this city we will surely repeat to enjoy the Screamin' Gator Zip Line and other attractions. I recommend spending at least 4 hours or more to reach each corner. There is a water play area, you can feed the animals and the cost of food for them is very good compared to other places we visit. It is suitable for all ages.

So much fun. I wish I would have planned better. This place has grown!!! We thought it would be an hour or 2 but we were there for at least 3 and hadn't seen everything. The Bird room is amazing. Feeding the gators is a little gross if your squeamish but it's cool to say you have done it. And to walk out into the lake ...there are over 100 HUGE gators. It was definitely an experience. I can't wait to go again.
Elizabeth Marie — Google review
Really fun and relatively cheap "theme park" and zoo. Heavy focus obviously on gators and loads of them to see. But awesome selection of birds and a few big cats too. There's a few different, entertaining shows. Food is a bit expensive but the gift shop options are good. Really worth a full day trip, in my opinion.
David Dunne — Google review
Great place with amazing experiences, and good for family adventure. There are so many things to do, as this park is more than just a gator park! We saw tortoises, pythons, birds, cougars, crocodiles, capybaras, flamingos, bobcats, and over more than 1000 crocodiles! 100% would recommend. Wheelchair friendly and reasonably priced.

As the name suggest this place is full of gators. Great day out for all ages with plenty of things to see and do. Plenty of shade for when it's really hot. Feed the gators was a real hit with our party of 8. The gator shows were good, the kids enjoyed them. Free parking 👍

Have been visiting for decades. Finally became an annual pass holder and I couldn't be happier. As a birder and wildlife photographer, this is a great place to hone skills and just enjoy a good day out. Personally, I've taken thousands of photos here. This was the one place my son wanted to visit once more before moving cross country, and I love the fact that I have pics of him, in the same shows or exhibits, numerous times over the course of his life. It's a fantastic timeline to look back on. Gatorland is just so special to us for so many reasons. As a mom, a photographer, wildlife lover/ volunteer, and Floridian, I appreciate this place and all the people who are a part of it.

This was my 1st visit to Gatorland and it was very fun. I went with my husband and 2 kids aged 3 and 5. Everyone had a great time viewing all the different gators, other wildlife like tortoises, snakes, birds, etc. The shows were also entertaining and zip lining available for a thrill! Overall I recommend the visit for families bc you will have fun!

Went on half price day. Well worth it and we ended up paying the $10 to hold the baby gator and boa constrictor. Saw 3 different shows that were very cool. The train ride was fun too. Saw all kinds of animals besides gators, such as crocodiles, emus, lizards, and snakes.
Reagan Nemeth — Google review
Great fun for adults and kids. The show staff/ trainers are very funny and just be mindful that some of their jokes connect better with adults. Be prepared to spend money on experiences like photos with alligator, feeding them, zipline... etc, depending on the age group you are going with. However, the prices are fair, just they do add up quickly. This park can easily entertain a family for a whole day.

First time visiting Gatorland. My family enjoyed our time. The experiences were amazing! The Adventure hour was the highlight of the day! The guides were hilarious and so friendly. Do not pass on an opportunity to visit a park that has something for the whole family. And if you enjoy different food, the Gator bites are definitely worth it! ;)
Holli Nelson — Google review
Our family really enjoyed our visit here! It has over 3500 alligators of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Admission and food prices were all very reasonable and there was plenty of shaded area. We really enjoyed the nature walk too. The signs were quirky and all the staff we interacted with were exceptional! The only thing we didn't love was the alligator petting area. Seems a bit cruel to put a strap over a gators jaw just for the sake of adult entertainment.

Had a wonderful time!!! The staff was so super friendly and informative. Special shout out to Oscar and Savannah and James!! Took time out to speak to us and made us feel so welcome. So worth the trip. Fun for the whole family.Free parking and more gators than you will believe.

I was really impressed with our visit. I didn't like that u had to add on train ride. Also they way the "trick you into stuff:. $10 hold gator and snake. Yeah but then picture another $23. Don't find that out til after. Luckily we had a person with us and she took our photo. Then at show after wards come up meet gator. Oh yeah bring money, ugh. We did pay extra to feed gators that was cool experience. Walking the swamp area they need to replace some signs so you can read them. We fed the birds, thst was cool. Wish they reminded children not to run in there ,scares birds away. The splash pad at end of day was great for the kids. Covered shaded area adults! We ran out of time and had paid for train but didn't get to do. Don't even try to figure that line out either. Her Grandson picked splash pad over train ride. The show we saw the 2 guys were very funny. But over all friendly staff and we had a great time. I

Highlights (that we experienced)- gators, feeding the gators, souvenirs, big cats, and the family favorite - the nature walk. It was pretty great! The people were all super nice. The gators were plentiful and awe inspiring. We were there for several hours and didn't do half the stuff that there was to do. In fact I think there were several whole sections of the park we never made it to. We took in the various gator ponds, checked out the other reptiles and big cats(they have a cerval and a bobcat) which were super active and interesting. We spent a long time watching them. We fed the gators. This was a highlight for sure. Watching them eat really enlightening. The last thing we did was walk the nature trail around the swamp. It was my favorite part no question. It was beautiful, peaceful, and full of interesting plants and wildlife. We saw lots of neat birds, snakes, and turtles in the wild on the trail. On the way out we fed the small gators with small fish tethered to a stick. Highly entertaining. We even ended up spending quite a bit in the gift shop. I am normally immune to exiting through the shop, but this shop is pretty impressive. They have a really wide selection of things. All the usual trappings you'd expect, but also, hats, belts, knives, some stationary items, personal grooming items, preserves, just all sorts of great stuff. We got tshirts(although even though mine said 3xl it turned out to fit more like a large so I will never be able to wear it)one for each of us, and one as a gift, a Christmas ornament, a nice comb, a couple of charms and a figurine also as gifts, and some stickers. A pretty good haul, and way more than I usually feel compelled to purchase in a tourist spot. But we genuinely enjoyed our time here and they had some really great stuff so it felt okay to indulge.

Parking can be challenging but always find a spot. The park is in close proximity to Historic Downtown Kissimmee with restaurants and shops.
Very nice park by this lake to walk. They have improved a lot and built new brick walkways, nice playgrounds for children, and it is kept clean. It is near downtown and it has some very artistic views and fantastic mural paintings on building walls. One of many great locations I also enjoy doing my arts and photography sessions!

Kissimmee Lake Front Park is around a large Beautiful lake with a wide walking path all along! Vista's and vegetation keeps changing as you walk along. Great for taking a stroll of bike riding. Park is good for various sports activities, picnic or a party. Great for kids to play! There are restrooms on the park and it's close to restaurants. People bring their dogs too. This park pops up as one of the attractions near by when searching in Kissimmee. It was worth our 15 minutes drive! Right now the lake has an elevated level of water and many ramps are under water. Also like most water bodies in Florida, there are Gators in the lake -Stay safe.

I have come here for decades now. First, as a child to play, and now, as an adult, I am back fishing by the pier. ⚽ 🎣 There's a good range of fish in the water, but, just a heads up, the pier is under construction and has been for months. 🐟 🐠 Watch out for a sneaky gator or two!

Small, but nice little park with a dog park, playground, small walking trail, and an interesting exercise equipment and games setup along the path to keep kids and adults engaged. If I lived closeby, I would go more regularly, but I'd say it's not a park that I would recommend a long trek to get to it. I think about 45min was all we were able to do before we were ready to call it quits.

Great park to walk around. Beautiful scenery and very quiet and natural. Some areas were paved but some were rough. Boardwalk was really cool! We'll definitely go back again.

This dinner theater offers a spectacular four-course meal complete with potatoes and roasted chicken, tomato bisque, and garlic bread. Kids will love watching the knights compete in games of skill while dining like royals at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Events.
We had an absolutely amazing experience at Medieval Times in Orlando. The show was fantastic and we were entertained from the very beginning to the very end. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was and our server [Beatriz] was hilarious and really played the part of a "peasant". They easily accommodated my husband's gluten allergy without issue. I had so much fun cheering for our knight and watching the games. I absolutely will be back for another show! I highly recommend checking out the show. We did the Queen's Royalty upgrade but you would easily have just as much fun with any seat in the house.

We have so much fun! The show is wonderful and the staff was polite and professional all the time. Food is good Chicken was great , tomato soup and bread was the best, they can do better with the desert I guess is my only complaint. We got the regular packet for our family of 4 but the filling was like vip. We luckily have the first row for the first time and feels different. Our girls were excited we definitely recommend this show for the entirety family is a different experience. The horses are beautiful well maintained and trained.

Awesome experience, you forget that it's time to eat except they keep bringing food. Food is surprisingly good. Such a cool show to watch and interact with, they keep you hungry for more action. Live horses that are so well trained, they can even bow to royalty. (Not kidding, never see a horse do that.) You feel like you time traveled and it's awesome. Will definitely be going back but going VIP next time. Have fun and enjoy, just go, you'll love it.

We went to see their show. It was SO cool. I loved watching the horses. Our 8 year old loves the knights and queen and our 4 year old loves watching them fight with swords. The food was really good. I was not a fan of the cake, but everything else was good. I would definitely go back. It was a fun experience.

We had a person in our party who had trouble walking they were very accommodating and seated us with the vip service. Food was fantastic, juicy chicken , everything was served hot. Drinks from the bar were a little pricey but normal for an attraction. Great entertainment. Just a amazing time we had in our group from ages 5 to 65 and everyone had a blast.

An incredible experience all around. From the moment you walk through the gates there is a sense of traveling back in time. Everything was an experience! The food is eaten with your bare hands like you really would in the medieval era! And the food was delicious. Our server was wonderful and quite funny too! And then the show itself was exciting and captivating. The animals in the show were amazing too! And I even caught the eye of a handsome knight and received a beautiful flower! And they say chivalry is dead, not here! The show was fun, family friendly and all around a great experience for anyone at any age. I would highly recommend this experience!

We went back after 18 years. We definitely noticed some difference. The presentation was good. The food that was served to us was cold. Chicken was barely warm. We got Serv soda, which is flat. We didn’t end up drinking any of her drinks. We ended up paying the VIP passes that causes quite more total ended up paying with a birthday package around 500 something for five of us. There is a manager, Jay. I think he may be the owner was not about service but all about money. My son was caring around a light up double sided ax he wanted me to give him that right away in order to trade up my crown. I told him I would end up paying for it because I do not wanna take away from my little son which they had given to him while we were eating. We spend a lot of money but again the service is definitely not there engaged. The food again I would give it to one star. We didn’t even finish it. The dessert taste of frozen. Definitely has gone downhill.

This was our 2nd time there with our son. He's 12 now. And he loves it. They said they were sold out of the upgraded packages online but when we got there we were able to upgrade. To me it's worth it. You get a picture for everyone and a bonus piece of cake with the celebration package. The service is amazing. They really go above and beyond if you ask for accommodations such as dairy allergy. The food is always hot and delicious and usually leave with a to go bag. I just can't rave about this place enough.

This is 100 recommended 🔥 We love Medieval Times, it’s a wonderful and super fun experience for the entire family. The show is super exciting and well produced, it will take you back in time for sure, all the staff, hosts and characters are super friendly and their interaction with the public is a plus. The seating plot and development of the show will allow you to fully enjoy the performance from anywhere in the arena (so do not worry about the seats because there are all good); the food will also take you to the medieval times (I am not going to elaborate too much, because I do not want to spoil the experience) it’s good and the kids will love it. This is a great show and an opportunity to have a great time with the family, we are looking forward to come back (for the third time) soon 😃💪

It is a great family friendly dining experience. We had a great time. We got the VIP package, it extended us preferred seating, right in the middle of the arena, everyone received a photo from the professional photographer and we received flags of our house to add to the interaction. It was a very good show and the staff really played their characters. I only have great things to say about the experience... can't wait to go back!

My family of 5 had an awesome time! We were seated in the last row, but there isn't a bad view in the house. The only thing is you'll never catch the roses that the knights throw into the audience. Food was great! Tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken, corn, bread, and potato wedges. Chocolate eclair for dessert. Tea, lemonade, and soda are included. You can order bar drinks separately. Tip is not included in your ticket. Our server handed us a tray for his tip, and on the card was written "15% of bill or $10 per person". For 5 people that was more than I expected to tip, but the servers work incredibly hard lugging all that food up the stairs on trays, clearing them, and keeping drinks filled, so we did do $10/person. Parking is a little bit of a walk, but not too far.

I haven’t been since I was a kid. My son and nephew are into knights right now. We all got geared up and went to the show. It was way better than I remembered!! The food was great!

It was my first time going and it was interesting to say the least. We walked in and had paid in advance getting assigned out seat. Drinks are pricy is the only down side. The lighting and games are entertaining. Best part is the food which is served almost instantly and well paced. I wish they were actually competing, the experience is rehearsed which is great but there's no real shot at your knight winning. I highly recommend going to check it our.

What a great time! The kids love it, the adults were entertained and the location is beautiful to take pictures. Children can be knighted, items are reasonably priced and you are fed well. Tipping is recommended and they come around near the end so it's good to have cash ready. A Line forms outside so get there early to enter. I would recommend and will return again.

Amazing time and worth the cost! We did the queens royalty package. Seats were right up front, food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Lost our voices from cheering so much and that's the best part! We went as a family of 4, and this included our 9yo and 5yo. Both had a great time! Will definitely go again whenever we are near one

The show was completely amazing. It's really worth it to watch every second. The horses are beautiful and the trainers are very professional. The combative scenes are enjoyable and the story behind the show is interesting. It is a whole experience to be there. The food was very good. I Really liked Tomato soup.

Good food and fun entertainment all in one! Yes it's a little cheesy, but lean in and enjoy it! The bisque and garlic bread were tasty. The chicken stole the show, seriously my half chicken was delicious! The dessert was ok, they could step up the dessert, even if they just gave everyone a chocolate chip cookie.... The show was entertaining and exciting. There was always something happening. Definitely a good value for your dollar. We didn't have any kids with us but kids seemed to love it!

I had a blast at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. It was a fun and unique experience to watch the knights jousting, sword fighting, and performing amazing stunts on their horses. The food was surprisingly good and plentiful, and the service was friendly and attentive. The only downside was that I had some difficulty hearing and understanding what the actors were saying, maybe due to the room acoustics or the sound system. I would suggest improving the audio quality for a better immersion. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for a great family outing or a special occasion.

Fun experience, especially if you have kids. They may not enjoy the food though. It's a set menu of chicken, tomato soup, potato wedge, garlic bread and corn. They gave us a chocolate eclair for dessert. The kids enjoyed the jousting and storyline

Great time! This was our second adventure to Medieval Times (Illinois and now Florida). Both shows were excellently produced and played by all. The horsemanship was fantastic. The food is simple, but very tasty and filling. And to top off the show for us, our noble blue, kingdom honoring knight won with honor and fortitude! (Love it when the good guys win!)

Great show , this is really a unique attraction, highly recommend for the family , food actually decent for a mass serving event. Staff is consistently polite and helpful. On the fence about the ticket upgrades as never understood the "preferred access" food is same , you do get little closer not that it matters much and a picture. Make your own mind up on that.

Went with a few friends and my teenage son. I love how much they try to pump up the crowd, and you can't help but get swept away in the excitement. I think my favorite part was watching how excited my son got. There are multiple parts to the show and service during the 4 course meal (which was delicious by the way), and plenty to be entertained by between courses. You'll be cheering for the knight representing your seating section, and they don't fail in getting you amped up. Great fun watching the games, and the jousting finale at the end is well worth it. Although clearly staged, the knights go at it, clashing swords after getting knocked off their horses, and putting up a great fight to show off for the masses. Definitely had a great time!

My boyfriend & I wanted to visit Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament when we were children. Since we hadn’t had a chance to as children, we spontaneously decided to go today. We had a wonderful time. The food was tasty. The show was entertaining. I feel they did a good job of keeping adults & children amused. The photography was also fantastic. We love our photo.

We went with the VIP package, and it was worth it. Amazing seats, food was good! The baby dragon (chicken) was just a little dry, but I can't fully fault them. It would be nearly impossible not to and to keep everyone's hot so we all got food at the same time. It still had great flavor! *FYI you will be eating with your hands. Part of the experience! Our waitress was amazing and so patient because we did ask several questions... The knights were charming and it was nice to see them interacting with the audience. Worth the price! My biggest complaint though was the staff you have walking around with gift shop items/toys... I know you want to sell more but it breaks the immersion and you spend a little bit too much time having to look around them...

We had such a great time here! The atmosphere is very unique in the best way, and we were smiling throughout our whole visit. The food was great and the portions were large. It was fun to eat a full meal just with our hands, all the while watching the amazing show taking place. The waiting staff were attentive to all of our needs and did a great job taking care of us. The entertainment was wonderful! We laughed, we cheered, we even booed (as was encouraged by the staff haha) and it really felt like we had taken a step back through time. There are 6 different sections of seating and depending on where you sit, you will be encouraged to cheer for "your knight". This made for a very fun environment where each knight was cheered for by one section and booed by the rest. We will definitely go again when we are in the area!

Great show. Food was good. Service was wonderful. You eat as if you were back in Medieval Times, bare hands. It's been over 20 yrs since my last experience and I enjoyed it as if it were a first time. The Entertainers are great, they get the crowd involved. Was definitely worth coming back.

Fun show and good food. - Food was very good and portions were decent. - The Kids loved seeing the horses and jousting. - I wish merchandise wasn't pushed so heavily considering show tickets weren't cheap to begin with, but the quality of the show makes that easy to overlook. - The immursive atmosphere is a fun escape from the daily routine.

Mediterranean restaurant
The mediterranean restaurant King O Falafel is a must-go destination in Kissimmee. Offering plenty of vegan and gluten free options, this spot is highly rated by visitors on Trip Advisor. Lunch and dinner only are served here, but the selection of dishes is mouth-watering.
This place was awesome! My wife is vegan, and I’m an omnivore, so it can be a challenge to find a place that we both feel satisfied. King O Falafel definitely fits the bill! The people that work there are friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about the food they create. It takes a bit longer, but it should, because they are actually making the food instead of reheating stuff. The Falafel balls were the best we’ve ever had, it was fun to watch them hand craft them one by one. They were packed with flavor, perfectly crisp on the outside, and moist on the inside. The hummus is made from scratch, and it was superb! I had the grilled chicken platter, which was a ton of food. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. A bit more char on the outside than I prefer, but not bad. The rice was very flavorful, and the potatoes were a nice addition. I’d definitely recommend eating here if you’re in the area. If you have never heard of falafel, give it a try, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Our first day of vacation and we were starving! Found this location in google map and decided to check what they have to offer. Traditional middle eastern interior and most of the tables were filled with customers. Mouth watering aroma was coming out from the kitchen. Beautiful! Their food was amazingly delicious! We had beef gyro platter, mixed gyro platter, fries and lentil soup as appetizer! May be we were very hungry or the food was super tasty 😋! We all enjoyed our food! Staff are friendly and smiling! My overall experience was great with this restaurant! Keep up the great work 👍

Tried this place on my trip to Orlando. We ordered Veggie Plate and Lamb Gyro. The food is delicious and tasty. The servers were super nice and polite. The ambiance is decent.

Yes i know, not very Professional pictures but… We just got out of Disney with my wife and kid, and we could not wait to dig in, this is authentic homemade food, clean and affordable restaurant, but what made our experience whole, was the people working there. Maybe for some of you are just looking for a review of the quality of it, and short answer is that is as fresh as you can get. People are not only friendly and smile to you all the time, but you can look and feel the do this with passion and love for their business. You will not regret giving this restaurant a chance if you are in a hurry for a quick bite of a delicious Middle Eastern homemade food.

Random find while in town! This is a small place with an extensive menu of yummy Mediterranean food. We tried a variety of different things, and everything was super delicious. The soups are a must try. A cup is just enough for a little appetizer. The portions are huge on the meals, so keep that in mind. We shared several things and ended up taking plenty home for another meal.

If you're looking for amazing hummus, look no further. Hands down the best hummus in Florida. Their combination platter is amazing! Make sure to try their spicy chicken. Their steak is seasoned perfectly and their food is cooked with love. It's a family owned restaurant and the people who work their really show they care! Their food is so good it makes me want to learn how to speak Arabic just to show my appreciation for their amazing food!

First experience with this spot, ordered delivery via DoorDash. Delivery came quicker than estimated. Food was packaged with care. I ordered the gyro, grape leaves, kibbeh, and baklava. I got my toddler the chicken nuggets and fries. Everything was at a nice temperature and texture. Flavor was spot on! The veggies in the gyro had freshness and crispness to them. Grape leaves were divine! Baklava made you wanting more! Absolutely recommend and will return for more! Look for my video on my channel on YouTube, called Hammocks to Coasters.

My friend and I are visiting Orlando from the state of Connecticut. I was craving falafels so we found this place and were so thankful we did! Best food of the whole trip and everyone there, especially the owner/manager (?) were so friendly and welcoming! Even though they were busy the food came out fast and you can see them preparing and cooking from where you sit. It is authentic and fresh. We tried both desserts as well-also amazing. Will definitely go back when in the area again!!

Walked into King O Falafel for dinner and was pleasantly surprised not only by the smells of freshly cooked food but also by the friendliness from the staff and the cooks. Mr. Yousef and I quickly built rapport and he was specially attentive to taking my order and making our food just right. Our food order was just right. The lamb kabobs plate was just as expected. The lamb meat was cooked to a tender and juicy consistency, the lentil soup was good enough to just drink it, and the rice left me wanting more. The gyro plate with its assortment of sides was also filling and tasteful. We ordered an additional cucumber side salad which was prepared by Mr. Yousef and that too was exquisite. Not enough thanks can be given. The prices for the food items are reasonable for the location.

Very good! Prices were reasonable and quality is high. I really enjoyed my Mediterranean salad. I was surprised at the several different salad options. Gyros and kabobs were great. The restaurant had a small rush while we were eating and everyone was working hard to get orders out while still being friendly. Also noticed there was a lot of diversity in patrons. Definitely suggest trying it! Would return.

I think this is the best Mediterranean food we've had in the USA. We've had our share of this cuisine in the NJ/NY area and nothing comes close to this.

We plan to be there one more time tomorrow before we leave the Orlando area. Definitely recommend.

Waited 20 minute; exactly what they said. Texted when available, which worked perfectly. Food was fantastic as was the server, in spite of being packed to the hilt. Steak was a generous portion, cooked as ordered. Country-fried steak and gravy was delicious. Pancakes were hearty and delivered maple syrup perfectly. ;). Hot chocolate, whipped cream, and marshmallows were a hit. Warm syrup would have been better. Will definitely go again!

Very friendly and casual atmosphere. It's named Woodsby's Cafe so I didn't expect such a wide variety of choices on the menu! They have daily specials, lunch specials and breakfast any time! It is clean and the service is great even though it was crowded when I sat down last Wednesday around lunchtime. I didn't care that much for my open-face roast beef because it reminded me of Steakums with too much gravy. But my side of string beans was perfectly done. Next time I'd like to try the 3 vegetable plate. My husband had a black bean burger with fries and said it was very good, hot, and fresh. Overall I liked it and would go back again.

Really enjoyed the food - big selection, good quality, and great value. The sausage links are what I would call "proper sausage" - none of the fennel stuff that tastes disgusting.

Old school café with good homemade food and brownies ! Family style small café ~~~ with great food and peaceful atmosphere. Food is okay the bean soup is very nice and thick—a very healthy option. Fried okra is nice and crispy. Ham with french toast is a good choice. But roast beef is not like what I expected pulled beef~ it’s like a thin slices beef not very delicious not recommended at all. But breakfast last whole day especially like omelette or pancakes are great because this place is famous for breakfast not full dinner menu so order breakfast

Found this place based on another Google review that said they had the best Creamed Chipped Beef. I can’t say it was the best but it was very good. For some reason I find CCB in the south to be more peppery,like Sausage Gravy, or which I am not a fan of. I would’ve give five stars had it not been for the pepper.

Went here for a work meeting / breakfast, and as always it was fantastic! There were 9 of us and of course special orders all around! But our waitress was a pro, took it all in stride and despite being such a large order, the kitchen got the food out quickly, hot and delicious.

Tried them for the first time today at lunch and was happy with the experience. I was greeted and seated quickly and had my drink order taken. I was going to ask to order my meal since I'd seen online what I wanted, but they said the waitress would have to do it. The restaurant was quite busy, so it took a little while for her to circle over to me, but when she did, the service was fast and friendly. I ordered the catfish breakfast fried with scrambled eggs, cheese grits, and a biscuit. I enjoyed the meal, but I didn't care much for the eggs. Everything else came out to my liking, and the coffee was spot on, which can be very hit or miss for me when I eat out since I'm kind of picky about it. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would certainly return for a good ol' country breakfast!

If you're in Kissimmee and in the mood for some delicious barbecue, Big John's Rockin' BBQ is a must-stop. Their brisket is delicious and best of all, it comes served up in an omelette! The restaurant has a great atmosphere with vintage rock music playing in the background. The staff is super speedy so you won't have to wait long for your food.
Awesome staff. Was immediately greeted and seated when walking in. Food was affordable and delicious. Restaurant was very clean even restrooms. Alongside great food, they have a fully stocked bar. Restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating that overlooks the park. Has a rock theme and is decorated very well. This is a great place for everyone to enjoy. Also believe I ran into the owner as soon as I walked In and he stopped what he was doing to make sure he greeted me and made me feel welcome. Great food, great people.

Read a lot about this place and decided to check it out. Decided to have the Sampler to be able to get a good view of what they do. First the sides. I had the Macaroni and cheese which was a blend of Monterey Jack and a couple of other cheeses, it wasn't anything special. The greens were mixed with some chopped onions and small amount of vinegar which made it pretty generic. The best of the sides were the baked beans, made with a thick sauce and just right amount of sweetness, I would probably smoke them to get a better flavor. On to the meats. You get a sampling of chicken, pork, brisket and a rib. All smoked with hickory and oak woods. All were nice and moist with a very slight flavor to it. The star of the show had to be the burnt ends though, they were off the chart.Flavorful and super tasty. My server was Ike and he was all over it, explaining the menu and do refills appropriately.

We attended a Private Event - wedding at Big John’s and we really enjoyed the venue. The party was for 50 people. There was a buffet, music, dancing, drinks, and very festive. The deck was available as well. We had a delicious meal including BBQ variety of meats, salads- cole slaw & potato salad, baked beans, Texas style toast, fried okra, and other delicious sides. The brisket was so tender it was eaten with a fork no knife needed. The staff was friendly and assisted in anyway requested. We will definitely be back- and we would recommend holding an event there.

I chose the pulled pork platter with Mac n cheese and fries.... my honey got the Brisket and rib combo. The food came out PERFECT and hot!! It didn't take very long and it was all so tasty!! We enjoyed the scenery as well as the decor. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!!!

De-li-cious! I was licking my fingers trying to type that delicious 😋 This is my go to BBQ place every Sunday for the past year. When chick-fil-a is closed. Come with your big appetite! I usually get half rack of ribs and half pound of brisket. Did I say it was DELICIOUS. Can’t wait for Sundays.

Smash burger was really good, platting was nice- fries could’ve been cooked a lil more - waitress was really nice but was super busy - so I didn’t see her much- but the atmosphere ( sat out doors) was relaxing. Even with them being so busy and what seemed a lil under staffed I would definitely visit again and recommend bc the food was really good

This was my first visit here and definitely won’t be my last. I was immediately greeted and seated as I entered. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating. I chose indoors because it was cooler and I enjoyed looking at all the Rick themed decor. They also play great music. Looking around I noticed not only the tremendous amount of rock n roll decor, but also a fully stocked bar and clean well-maintained restaurant. I had their Big John Breakfast which as 3 eggs over medium, grits, sausage, bacon, and biscuits & gravy. All was perfectly prepared and delicious. I can’t wait to come back to try more of their delicious looking menu items along with a couple of beers. And one more thing, this place has affordable prices and a great staff. I’ll be back! Even though I live in Texas.

We were looking for a barbecue restaurant that we hadn't tried before and we can't believe we missed this one on our visit to the Monument of states. We decided to give it a go and we were not disappointed. The service and food were good and they had some really rocking 70s music playing over the sound system. This is some of my favorite music so we really enjoyed it. We devoured our meals and now we have another BBQ place to visit we are are craving BBQ.

Big John’s was really good! I got the brisket plate and it came with 2 sides. The corn nuggets are really so good. I love brisket but I made the mistake of not asking for it marbled cause mine was a little dry. But others at the table had nice marbled brisket so just specify what you want when you order! It was really good and the waitress was very helpful and accomidating!

My wife and I were in Florida for the week. We love brisket and took a chance on Big John's due to reviews. It didn't disappoint. We actually drove the 20 minutes a second day for our last meal here. It has a " classic rock" theme and quite cozy. Also has a large patio. Will return once back in Orlando.

Classic rock themed decor, great barbecue, and stellar service...a place after my own heart! Service was friendly and quick. Loved the theme with classic rock music and decor all about. The unsweetened iced tea was nice and strong but not bitter. They offer you a to go cup which was nice. I ordered the super sampler, which comes with a little of every meat (pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket, a rib, and Andouille Sausage) and two sides, with the option of cornbread, biscuit, or Texas toast. I opted for collards and Mac and cheese and cornbread for my sides. I also ordered corn nuggets and fried okra to try as well. I can't say I disliked anything I ate, which is a testament to them since that's hardly ever the case. I will say as far as sides, the collards and corn nuggets were my favorite, especially the corn nuggets for the unique presentation of them dusted with powdered sugar which made them more of a delectable, pop-em-in-your- mouth dessert kinda vibe. My last favorite meat choice was the rib. I took some of everything to go and my girlfriend tried them all and liked everything above as well, with the exception of the sausage. As far as the sauce went, I liked the mustard based Rockin' Mustard and Cosmic hot, which was a bit like hot sauce with a fruity, maybe citrus undertone. All in all, loved them and will certainly return and would suggest the sampler to get a chance to try a little of everything and determine your favorites. It was great for a first timer.

Steak house
The Venetian Chop House is a romantic steak house with AAA Four-Diamond rating in the Caribe Royale hotel. The restaurant offers surf 'n' turf and a long wine list. It is all those things people love to read about: AAA Four-Diamond, award-winning, all that, but more importantly the food here is truly exceptional.
Came here for our anniversary this year and it was amazing! Our server, Gary (aka Diesel) was absolutely incredible. He made us feel so so special for our anniversary dinner. By far, the best server we’ve ever had! If you’re coming here, ask for Diesel. Food was amazing and we left very full and happy with the money we spent. We will be back!!

This is not fine dining by any measure… Setting: The entry way is elegant and that is necessary considering the sound of a DJ and pool directly outside and a cafe to the left full of people in beachwear. The curtain adjacent to the hostess stand is tacky and serves to hide a bar area that is open just feet forward. The color scheme of burgundy and yellow is like an old Vegas casino. The noise, as mentioned in previous reviews, is so bad you have to scoot up and raise your voice. Service: The servers are like those at an Applebees, not a fine restaurant. Pouring water the condensation drops went all over the bread I had in my plate. That was probably ok because it was as hard as a stone. Food: Even if a setting and service is terrible, delicious food with creative flavors make it all right. Unfortunately, the bison was very fatty. The au gratin potatoes were tough and textured like a sliced raw potato which also lacked any flavor, even salt. The salmon was ok but not grilled as it was like a steamed fish, overly soft. The purple potatoes were very aromatic and the after taste lingered making the flavor of anything else. The cold bread to open the evening was topped with a plastic bag to go at the end. Fitting considering the contents were meant for my dog. Overall, not worth the $200. This restaurant needs better managing and updating.

My colleagues and I dined here and everything started off great. The receptionist was amazing and our server started off great but throughout the meal fell short. Several items we ordered were left on a tray by another table and ended up getting cold. We decided to cancel the items because we were almost done with our food. Two of the steaks were overcooked and dry. We chose the restaurant because of the location and prestige but it honestly fell short of the diamonds it's been awarded. For the price point of the steaks we expected more!

Staff was great. I deducted one star because they kept on forgetting about our large group and we would go without refills for a good while. The waiter played it off and that was funny but I think more serious customers night not appreciate it as much. Overall great food, well done and everything that we tried was delicious. I recommend the lobster bisque for sure!

We went to celebrate my birthday last night, and I was blown away from the beginning. We originally were going to go to another place but wanted to give the Venetian Chophouse a try since I have heard great things about it. Boy, I’m glad we did! We made reservations and were immediately seated. They gave me a personalized happy birthday card which I appreciated because I am very big on details. Our server was Diesel and he made the entire experience incredible. He was Personable, attentive, and made our night. Angela made our drinks and we loved how she took the time out of her evening to help us decide on the perfect cocktails. She was wonderful!!! And our drinks were so good! Our steaks were great but my fav was actually the Lobster Mac n Cheese. We are so happy we made the decision to give the Venetian Chophouse a try, and will definitely be back again soon!

Upscale Restaurant with a great selection on wines and cocktails. Indoor and outdoor tables. Outstanding customer service. Our server Joao was very attentive and knowledge of the menu. Food came out in a reasonable time and perfectly cooked. Price are accordingly with food. If you staying in or are close by Caribe Royale Hotel, this restaurant is the right place to spend a good time with a date.

The food is esthetically very pleasant but mediocre, in my opinion, when it comes to flavor. The service, even though friendly and with great intention to be highly professional, ended up being slow and generally unattentive. The main courses came out late and cold. The best part of our dinner was actually having great company. Sometimes, I guess, waiting a long time for the check to come only gives you extra time for having fun chatting.

Our visit was nothing less than perfection! The outdoor seating area was so beautiful with lush plants and a long Firepit feature. Our waiter was the best we’ve ever had. The food was all incredibly delicious. Every staff member who served us was extremely pleasant. I highly recommend eating here!

Came here for my grandmother’s birthday and we had a great time. The service was good. She had salmon and I had chicken Parmesan. The ambience was OK but similar to that of a chain restaurant. The chicken Parmesan was very breaded, but was good nonetheless, we also did get a cake for her birthday that was complementary, which was very nice of the staff.

We returned from NY for our 2nd experience, celebrating another wedding anniversary. Our wonderful Diesel was a fantastic host/server. Extremely attentive to detail with every aspect of our entire dining experience. Cheery, warm and hospitable. Food excellent and his recommendations were spot on. Thank you! (try the gin and tonic, a palette pleaser!)

My husband and I dined here during our stay at the Caribe Royale resort and it was nothing short of delightful. Our server was Ismael who truly provided white-glove service the entire meal. He was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu and how things pair together. We had the Fennel Sea Scallops and French Onion soup as appetizers, both delicious. We shared the Gnocchi which was a great side to share. For our entrees we had the Bison Short-Rib and the Lamb Chops. The plating was beautiful and they were cooked perfectly. Worth every penny for a special occasion. 5 stars all around.

We had a party of 4. We were there during Magical Dining. We had the jumbo shrimp and mushroom risotto as appetizers, the steak and salmon as entrees, and the cheesecake, creme brulee and caramel cake for dessert. Each of us agreed we would order those items again. They were all delicious! Our server was Diesel and he was wonderful. We would easily be able to split the cheesecake dessert. It was huge! We will definitely go again!

Mexican restaurant
El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant is a great choice for authentic Mexican eats near your Kissimmee vacation rental. With plenty of seating, the outdoor patio is a perfect way to spend a warm day or relax after a busy day of sightseeing. Start your meal with nachos and then choose from enchiladas verdes or fajitas for an entree. There are also quesadillas and chimichangas available for those who want something more substantial.
Our wait time for food was longer than what we are used to, but everywhere you go in 2022 is like that. What made it pleasing were the amazing drinks and being greeted with chips and salsa while we waited. The food tasted fantastic, and we had a very kind server.

Great authentic Mexican food! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with the savory smells of delicious Mexican cuisine and fun decor. Smiling welcome faces operate this fun establishment. Every dish has been delicious and leaves you wanting another bite. Hard to find great Mexican food in central FL... This is a top contender.

The drinks were fantastic I give that five starts 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 unfortunately the rice wasn't cooked all the way through and the steak was marinated a little different for seasoning. Some folks swear by this place I just give my honest opinion. I'll definitely come back and try something else from the menu.

We had a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was extremely nice, and I loved the live music. Restaurant staff was friendly and helpful. Food came out extremely fast, was sizzling hot, and had good flavor. We felt it could have had some more seasoning, but it was still good. We would visit again.

Stumbled in here while on a work trip. Decor and ambiance was great off the bat. Full bar (always a plus). The Molcajete Tarasco was fantastic. Service was better than average. Greeting could use some work, but I won’t lower the score for that. I came here for great food and service and both were better than expected!

Our group of 15 visited El Tapitio for the first time. The service was great & attentive. I wanted to try something new so, I ordered the Alambre & I was pleasantly pleased with my selection. It was a wonderful combination of steak, chicken, chorizo. pork & ham with peppers, onions, & cheese. And it included rice & beans. The hotter salsa was a good upgrade as well..

Had a reservation for 20+ people. Everything was incredible especially the food. They ask if you want spicy or not and this is the first restaurant that has ever given me truly spicy food! My tolerance is very high. Great experience!

Jeffrey Visco — Google review
The only negative is that we were charged an automatic tip for our table of 6. A lot of places do this so I’m still giving it 5 stars because the food was absolutely amazing, our waitress was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. Bonus points for the live Mariachi Band! The portions were so big everyone took home half their meal. The food was very authentic tasting as well!

Had a great lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. The queso fundido with chorizo was very good. Guacamole tasted fresh. Chips and salsa were fresh and seasoned well. Lastly, the molcajete for two was big and excellent. Nice ambiance and overall a great experience.

Great Mexican restaurant. Worth the 35 minute drive from Poinciana. Very pleasant and decorated atmosphere, big menu, fresh food, fair prices, and absolutely tasty. Dropped to 4 stars due to lack of attention from wait staff. 2nd visit in the row and the waitresses pretty much abandon you and if you need refills or anything you will have to seek out help and wave them down. And it is NOT do to being too busy. Friendly yes, but they do not check in on you.

Had two great meals here on our vacation from Ireland and couldn't fault the food or the service. Food was better than some others nearby on the 192 with similarly high ratings. We shared a mix of tacos and a chicken quesadilla with rice and beans. Kids taco was great. Even the chicken nuggets for my picky youngest were good. Kids loved the complimentary chips and salsa and worth getting some guacamole. Excellent margaritas too 🍹. Well worth a visit. Service was great. Highly recommend.

I’ve come to find a great amount of Mexican restaurants in my area are very high quality but this particular restaurant is absolutely perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing about my dining experience.We for the Sampler as the appetizer and it was so much we couldn’t finish it all between 3 guys. I then ordered the Chicken Fajita as my entree and it came out perfect. Still steaming hot on the cast iron. Our server Leo was a delight. I will definitely be retuning to this place next time I am in the mood for some top tier Mexican food.
