Our planet is full of incredible places. However, Orlando is the number one most visited tourist destination. Folks from all walks of life come here to enjoy our theme parks, attractions, and famed hospitality. Orlando is truly the world’s gathering place. But places such as Tapa Toro, Sugar Factory, and Tin Roof help make ICON Park, Orlando’s gathering place!

In this most sought-after city, it’s easy for locals and visitors alike to get lost in bustle of the many things to see here. There’s so much to do that it can distract from what is at the core of our great city’s experience. It’s not what you do, but who you’re doing it with.
