Memorial
Day is a time to recognize the courageous men and women who gave the ultimate
sacrifice to protect our country. To honor our brave troops, ICON Park will
host a variety of activities over Memorial Day Weekend.
From 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. on Friday, May 26, ICON Park is partnering with the US Army Kissimmee
Recruiting Station to host an event. A variety of large military vehicles will
be on display for families to get a close-up look at and they can interact with
uniformed soldiers. The Army team will also have a tent set up with information
about careers in the military as well as fun activities.
In addition to the event,
from May 26 to 29, all active and retired military personnel can ride The
Wheel, ICON Park’s signature attraction, for free. Their accompany family
members can also receive 50 percent off tickets to the attraction.
As one of
Orlando’s biggest, brightest landmarks, The Wheel will proudly be shining all
of its 64,000 LED lights in red, white and blue. The 400-foot observation wheel
will be decked out in the American flag throughout Memorial Day Weekend.
