Everything you need to know about Go City’s Orlando passes

Kennedy Space Center, Gatorland, The Orlando Eye and airboat rides—build an Orlando itinerary that fits your style and budget with a Go City Orlando pass.

Published: October 13, 2025
The Orlando Eye

Orlando brings the big energy—sunshine, palm trees, and a ton of attractions beyond the theme parks. Think rockets at Kennedy Space Center, glossy fun at ICON Park, airboats across wild wetlands, hands-on museums and wildlife up close. With two flexible options—perfect for families, couples, friend groups or just anyone who loves variety in their sightseeing—Go City Orlando passes keep planning simple and costs sensible. Use yours to zip between I‑Drive highlights, head out to the Space Coast, and fill easy days with airboats, aquariums and mini golf. You set the pace; the app keeps everything in one place.

The basics: what is the Go City Orlando pass?

 

One purchase gets you into a big lineup of Orlando attractions and experiences with two ways to explore: the All-Inclusive Pass and the Explorer Pass.

All-Inclusive Pass

  • Choose a 2, 3 or 5-day pass.
  • Best when you want to do a lot in a short time—stack airboats, museums and ICON Park favorites without juggling separate tickets.
  • Visit as many included attractions as you like on each active day (one visit per attraction).
  • Great for first‑timers and families who want maximum variety and value.

Explorer Pass

  • Choose 2, 3, 4 or 5 attractions.
  • Best for relaxed itineraries—sprinkle a few standouts around pool time, long lunches and evening rides on The Orlando Eye.
  • You’ll have 30 days to use your choices from first activation.
  • Ideal if you’ve got a short list of must-dos or you’re back chasing Orlando highlights on a return trip.

Both options are fully digital, live in the Go City app, and typically save a solid amount compared with buying separate tickets.

Buying and activating your pass

 

  1. Buy online: Head to the Go City website or app for the best prices and live support.
  2. Download the Go City app: Your attraction info, maps, hours and booking links are all stored together here. Log in with the same email you used at checkout and your pass appears automatically.
  3. Activate when you’re ready: The All-Inclusive Pass activates on its first scan and runs for your chosen number of consecutive calendar days. The Explorer Pass activates at first scan and stays valid for 30 days.

Using your pass

Orlando in the Go City app

Open the app, show your QR code at the entrance or check‑in desk, and you’re in—no paper tickets to track. Each attraction allows one visit with your pass. The app has opening hours, directions, reservation notes and any age or height requirements, so you can pivot as the day unfolds. On All‑Inclusive days, we start early, pair an outdoor adventure with an indoor cool‑down, then time a sunset spin on The Orlando Eye. Keep your phone charged; a quick screenshot helps if service drops out.

What’s included?

 

With 35+ attractions, tours and experiences to choose from, there’s something for everyone across the two Orlando pass types.

Space and science

 

  • Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a must. Tour NASA's launch and landing facilities, get up close to the Space Shuttle Atlantis and watch an IMAX film that makes spaceflight feel close enough to touch.
  • WonderWorks keeps kids and grown‑ups busy with hands-on science, a glow‑in‑the‑dark ropes course, and plenty of ‘press this and see what happens’ moments. It’s fun, air‑conditioned and right on I‑Drive.

Animals and airboats

 

  • Gatorland serves Florida classics—gators galore, a jaunty train and up‑close encounters that make for memorable photos. The jumparoo show is pure Florida fun.
  • Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures skims you across the headwaters of the Everglades. Watch for herons, turtles and gators as your captain threads through tall grass and open water. Morning rides often spot more wildlife.
  • Wild Florida’s airboats and gator park bring you face to face with native species, plus a boardwalk through cypress trees. It’s an easy day out when you want nature with minimal driving.

I-Drive and Icon Park favorites

 

  • The big wheel at ICON Park lifts you 400 feet for big‑sky views across Orlando—time it for golden hour and watch the lights flick on below.
  • SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium wraps you in a 360‑degree tunnel with sharks and rays overhead, then adds touch tanks and talks that keep kids engaged.
  • Madame Tussauds Orlando is pure selfie fuel—pose with screen stars, athletes and superheroes, then step back out to restaurants and bars around the plaza.

Play days and quirky gems

 

  • Fun Spot America is all about classic thrills—wooden coasters, multi-level go‑karts and midway vibes. The pass typically includes a flexible ride sampler or armband; check the app for the current offer and height requirements.
  • Museum of Illusions Orlando bends your brain with tilted rooms, Ames illusions and plenty of playful photo ops. It’s compact and easy to slot between bigger stops.
  • Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition tells moving stories from the ship through original objects, recreated rooms and knowledgeable guides—slower‑paced and surprisingly absorbing.

Plan ahead

Gators in Orlando

Orlando covers a fair bit of ground, so a little route planning saves time and sanity. We like to cluster days by area: stick to International Drive for The Orlando Eye, SEA LIFE, Madame Tussauds, WonderWorks and dinner with minimal traffic. Dedicate a full day to Kennedy Space Center; it’s a 45–60 minute drive to the Space Coast, and you’ll want time for the Shuttle Atlantis and IMAX shows, plus a break for lunch. Pair Gatorland with an afternoon at Fun Spot or Old Town Kissimmee, or plan an early airboat ride, then cool off inside the aquarium or a museum.

Set time-specific experiences first—airboat departures, Kennedy Space Center IMAX shows, and limited-capacity attractions can fill at peak times. Check the app for any reservation links and build your day around those slots. Orlando weather flips fast: sunny to stormy and back again. Bring sunscreen, hats and a packable rain jacket. When thunder rolls in, lean into indoor picks on I‑Drive and return to outdoor fun once it clears. Driving? Most venues have easy parking, though ICON Park and I‑Drive garages can get busy in the evening—arrive a touch early. Using rideshares? Drop‑offs near ICON Park are straightforward, and you can walk to multiple attractions from there. Lastly, pace the kids—alternate high‑energy stops (airboats, coasters) with calmer ones (aquarium, museums)—and keep snacks handy.

Reservations

 

Some experiences call for advance booking. The app flags what requires a reservation, includes links to book and notes any check‑in steps. Use the same name and email tied to your pass for quick verification, arrive 10–15 minutes early, and bring photo ID if a venue requests it. If your plans change, cancel inside the provider’s window to free up your spot.

What’s the main advantage of Go City Orlando passes?

 

  • Clear savings when you visit multiple Orlando attractions and tours.
  • Flexibility: pick a series of sightseeing days with the All-Inclusive Pass or pick a specific number of attractions with the Explorer Pass.
  • Scan and go: one app for entry, maps, hours and bookings.
  • Freedom to try experiences you might skip if buying individually.
  • Easy budgeting: pay once, then mix space, wildlife and I‑Drive fun with ease.

Is buying a pass worth it?

Kennedy Space Center

If your shortlist includes big‑ticket favorites—say Kennedy Space Center, an airboat ride, The Orlando Eye, SEA LIFE, Gatorland and WonderWorks—yes, you’ll usually come out ahead, and without all the admin of buying multiple separate tickets. Prices for top Orlando attractions can run upwards of $70–$100 individually, so it doesn’t take long for the pass to pay for itself. 

Let’s say you get a 3-day All-Inclusive Pass and visit: 

Day 1

  • Kennedy Space Center ($82.39)
  • The Orlando Eye ($31.94)

Day 2 

  • Gatorland ($34.07)
  • 1-Hour Slingshot Rental ($109)
  • Fun Spot America ($38.34)

Day 3:

  • LEGOLAND Florida Resort ($105.93)
  • Outta Control Magic Dinner Show ($39.39)
     

That’s $441.06 worth of tickets on a $279 pass. That’s some pretty magical savings of $162.06 or around 27%!*

Easter in Orlando: Egg-cellent Adventures for Every Traveler

Easter in Orlando comes with extra sparkle. Here, sunshine practically guarantees your outdoor adventures, parks bloom, and attractions roll out special events just for springtime. If you’re plotting a holiday your friends and family will talk about long after the chocolate bunnies are gone, Orlando is the answer. You’ll find festive brunches, creative egg hunts, animal encounters, and entertainment for everyone from tiny tots to thrill-seeking teens and nostalgic grownups. Ready for the ultimate Easter escape? We’re sharing a mix of magical activities—theme parks, outstanding attractions, delightful dining and the coolest free experiences—to make your Orlando egg hunt extra memorable.  Our top ways to spend Easter in Orlando:  Kennedy Space Center  LEGOLAND® Florida  SEA LIFE Aquarium  Gatorland  The Orlando Eye  Island H2O Water Park  Chocolate Kingdom  Easter brunch & spring gardens  Easter egg hunts and family fun in the parks  Art, crafts and spring festivals around town  LEGOLAND® Florida: Easter Bricks and Bunny Tricks  What’s more fun than finding Easter eggs? Building your own out of LEGO®! At LEGOLAND® Florida, everything is playfully supersized—including springtime celebrations. Each April, the park’s “Egg-tastic” festivities give families an awesome excuse to visit: think giant LEGO® bunny photo-ops, scavenger hunts, interactive shows and hands-on brick building challenges themed for the weekend.  If you crave that magical Easter parade feeling, line up along the signature pathways for character meet-and-greets. Who needs a bunny suit when you’ve got a LEGO® bunny? Young builders can race to spot hidden brick eggs around MINILAND USA, or create pastel-colored creations to take home. Themed treats pop up at concession stands—look for bunny-shaped cookies and milkshakes finished with rainbow sprinkles.  The park’s lush gardens hit their stride at Easter, offering extra charm for a relaxed wander between coasters and shows. Plus, if you venture over to Cypress Gardens, you’ll discover one of Florida’s most stunning displays of spring blooms—picture perfect for family portraits. With rides, water fun, hands-on creativity and seasonal sweetness, LEGOLAND® Florida promises a springtime outing like no other.  SEA LIFE Aquarium: Underwater Easter Eggstravaganza  Easter in Orlando can be all about sun, but there’s plenty to celebrate underwater too! SEA LIFE Aquarium at ICON Park puts a festive twist on marine discovery with its special spring scavenger hunts—think “Egghunt Under the Sea.” Kids (and the grown-ups who help them) receive activity sheets urging them to spot hidden Easter eggs, jellyfish decorations, or “bunny fins” among the tanks.  The atmosphere buzzes with energy. You’ll wander through winding glass tunnels under swirling rays and toothy sharks, pass playful seahorse nurseries, and dip your hands in the touch pool—maybe picking up a few aquatic facts from friendly staff along the way. It’s all charming, colorful and comfortably cool if the Florida sun gets too hot.  Easter weekend often comes with themed talks and feedings, plus limited-edition photo frames for a family keepsake you won’t find anywhere else. With crowd-pleasing displays, an interactive kids’ area for crafting or coloring, and the thrill of finding “hidden egg” clues alongside clownfish and turtles, this attraction makes holiday fun a snap.  Gatorland: Eggs-tra Wild Encounters  Orlando is home to some of the most unusual wildlife encounters anywhere, and Gatorland turns Easter into a real “eggs-ploration.” Often called the “Alligator Capital of the World,” this family-run adventure park turns up the fun every spring with themed egg hunts, animal shows, and meet-the-reptile experiences.  The big draw here is the Easter Gator Scavenger Hunt—a twist on the classic egg hunt featuring hidden giant eggs, zany clues, and sometimes even costumed gator mascots doling out prizes or candy. The park springs to life with baby alligator feedings, high-flying zip-line rides over the breeding marsh, and dozens of critters just waiting to wow your crew. The show schedule gets an Easter makeover too; wranglers might tuck pastel bow ties on their hats, while the famously entertaining “Gator Jumparoo” show is always a crowd favorite.  Lush boardwalks let you wander under swaying palms and Spanish moss, spotting white alligators (yes, really!) and baby crocs in cozy enclosures. For families looking for unique animal encounters, hands-on learning, and a healthy dose of Floridian weirdness, Gatorland’s springtime fun is hard to match.  The Orlando Eye: Spring Views and Sky-High Selfies  Easter in Orlando means blooming gardens, blue skies and dazzling city views. Take them all in from the Orlando Eye—a stunning observation wheel at ICON Park that slowly ascends more than 400 feet above the skyline. Easter weekend brings limited-time decor, themed photo props, and cheerful staff ready to snap a family picture if you don’t have a selfie stick handy.  Sunset rides are especially popular at this time of year, with golden light creating unforgettable portraits and a twinkle across the city’s lakes and resorts. Keep your camera handy: you might just catch sight of bunnies, eggs, or pastel blooms among the park’s beautifully landscaped gardens below. Each pod gives everyone a 360-degree view, roomy seating, and cool air on sunny days.  Once you’re back on the ground, ICON Park itself joins the Easter cheer with free-entry events—pop-up kids’ crafts, live music, and friendly roving entertainers. With shops, restaurants, and SEA LIFE Aquarium right next door, you can turn a simple observation wheel ride into a day of springtime discoveries.  Chocolate Kingdom: The Sweetest Adventure  If Easter’s all about the chocolate, then step inside Chocolate Kingdom for a factory tour that feels straight out of Willy Wonka’s daydreams. This interactive experience near International Drive guides you from cacao bean to finished chocolate bar, with plenty of tasting and pressing-your-nose-to-the-glass moments along the way.  Easter at Chocolate Kingdom is especially magical. Meet the Easter Bunny (who knows a thing or two about sweets), try chocolate-making demonstrations, and sample seasonal treats created just for the holiday—think white chocolate bunnies, citrus-flavored eggs, and marshmallow-filled delights. Younger visitors can enter contests to design their own chocolate bars or win chocolate prizes with themed quizzes. The guides are lively and knowledgeable, making the history and process of chocolate vibrantly fun for both kids and adults.  The gift shop is a winner too, brimming with edible souvenirs, sample platters, and boxed sets—ideal for Easter baskets or that last-minute gift for someone back home. You’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for your favorite treat (and maybe a slight sugar rush).  Easter Brunch & Spring Gardens: A Blooming Good Time  Orlando’s Easter brunches are legendary, with resorts and local favorites putting on colorful spreads that cater to all appetites. Book early for buffets and à la carte menus boasting everything from classic eggs Benedict to Florida-fresh seafood platters. The Alfond Inn in Winter Park dazzles with gourmet stations, free-flowing mimosas, and a sun-drenched courtyard, while The Glass Knife in Winter Park serves up beautiful pastries and a spring-inspired brunch with signature lemon curd cruffins.  Over at Disney Springs, Homecomin’ offers a hearty Southern-style brunch, complete with fried chicken and house-made cinnamon rolls, perfect for a festive family meal. Many Orlando hotels also host egg hunts, crafts, and photos with the Easter Bunny as part of their brunch package—bonus points if there’s a lake or garden view.  Pair your meal with a stroll at Harry P. Leu Gardens or Mead Botanical Garden, when thousands of azaleas, camellias, and flowering trees turn the city’s parks into stunning backdrops for family photos or a chill afternoon picnic. Entry is budget-friendly, and spring always brings special events—think guided wildlife walks, butterfly releases, or egg hunts for little ones among the blooms.  Easter Egg Hunts & Family Fun in Orlando’s Parks  The classic egg hunt is alive and well in Orlando, but it’s got a local twist. Dozens of Orlando’s city and county parks pull out all the stops with free or low-cost events on Easter weekend. Look for huge outdoor egg scrambles—sometimes with separate areas for different ages—and meet-and-greets with the Easter Bunny, balloon twisters, or face painters.  At Lake Eola Park, downtown Orlando’s crown jewel, city-sponsored festivals transform the lawn with inflatables, local food stalls, craft markets, and live music. The festival atmosphere is infectiously cheerful. Little ones race for colorful eggs under towering oaks, while grownups enjoy music from local bands and food truck bites under shady pavilions.  Many of the region’s resorts—like the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes or Four Seasons Orlando—host their own epic egg hunts and themed family games, often included as part of Easter brunch packages. With spring breezes, smiling staff, and plenty of prizes to win, everyone leaves with memories (and often a good haul of chocolates).  Art, Crafts & Spring Festivals  Spring means festival season in Orlando, with a full calendar of outdoor events perfect for art lovers and creative kids. During Easter, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival features hundreds of juried artists, food trucks, and kid-friendly craft tents in one of the city’s prettiest neighborhoods. The atmosphere is festive, relaxed and delightfully local.  If you’re after hands-on fun, check out the Orlando Museum of Art, which hosts family days with Easter-inspired crafts, scavenger hunts, and gallery games. Downtown’s Creative City Project regularly puts on interactive pop-ups—think street artists, live music, and whimsical installations that shimmer in the spring light.  Finally, don’t miss local farmers’ markets at Lake Eola or Winter Park, where you’ll spot Easter flower displays, fresh pastries, and handmade gifts perfect for filling your basket. There’s no better way to feel part of the local scene than a wander with a lemonade in hand, stocking up on Florida strawberries and chatting with cheerful stallholders.  Wrapping Up  However you like to celebrate Easter—from rocket launches and LEGO quests to chocolate feasts, egg hunts, or lazy brunches—Orlando delivers. This is a place where the fun lasts all weekend, the flowers bloom extra bright, and spring traditions come with a sunny twist. Bring the family, gather your friends, and get ready for new traditions and happy surprises in the City Beautiful.  Like this?
