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.

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%!*

Where to Stay in Orlando

Blessed by year-round beautiful weather and sunny skies, Orlando is best known for its major attractions like Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, and Seaworld. For anyone making their way to the City Beautiful for the first time, choosing a place to stay can be a little overwhelming. Still, we’re here to tell you that there’s no single winning spot to make your roots – rather, you should choose somewhere to suit your vacation plans and reasons for visiting. If you’re looking to hit the theme parks, then International Drive is where you’ll want to be. For nightlife and culture, you couldn’t do much better than downtown Orlando. Or, to live like the locals, check out Eatonville. Wherever you choose to stay in the city, you’ll have a great time. Check out our list for further guidance on which area would be right for you. International Drive Whilst there’s much to see and do everywhere in the city, International Drive remains a popular tourist hotspot for its proximity to the city’s most famous attractions. Stay here, and you’ll be well within reach of top theme parks like Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, and Aquatica. Though its theme parks are the area’s main draw, if you conduct a little research you’ll find ample reason to love this vibrant area of the city. Not unlike the ‘Vegas Strip’, the area offers clusters of hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions to choose from. From great entertainment districts to fun shopping opportunities, International Drive really has it all. Serving as a major tourist corridor since 1972, this area provides accommodation choices for all types of travellers. No matter what price range or style you’re looking for, you’re sure to find something to suit you. Travelling is made easy in this part of the city, with excellent bus services and even some hotels offering free shuttles to the main amusement parks. Whether you’re travelling with family or going solo, we recommend this spot for those who like to be in the center of all the action. Kissimmee Another great option for tourists is of course Kissimmee. A little further out from all the hustle and bustle, this area presents a great mix of nature and urban attractions to keep everybody happy. Whilst the area is still very close to Orlando’s most famous theme parks, you’ll find that there’s so much more to love about Kissimmee. From Fun Spot America to the Monument of States, there’s a lot to see here. Most visitors rent out condos or villas in gated communities, creating a relaxed vibe that is ideal for families and big groups. If you decide to go down this route, you’ll have access to the community park, clubhouse, and a common pool. A tried-and-true classic, there’s no going wrong when you stay in Kissimmee. Winter Park For those looking to explore a different side of the city, Winter Park may be your best bet. Once considered a winter resort, this charming area presents much to do for culture vultures and art lovers. For those with a thirst for knowledge, the area has the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, Cornell Fine Arts Museum and Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum amongst many others. It doesn’t stop there though – Winter Park is also a prime destination for nature lovers, with over 70 parks in the vicinity which host various events, festivals and celebrations throughout the year. Whether you’re looking to soak up the sun or catch a late-night movie under the stars, you’ll never be bored in Winter Park. Staying in this area also means that you’ll still be super close to all those quintessential Orlando attractions, without feeling overwhelmed by them. Win-win! Eatonville If you’re looking for somewhere a little bit more relaxed, why try Eatonville? Located just a few miles north of the city, this area is often recognized for its unique history, as it was one of the first all-black self-governing municipalities in the United States. Today, this thriving cultural gem is a great place to stay in the city, offering something a little different from your typical Orlando vacation. Here, you’ll find fantastic one-of-kind cultural amenities, including the Zora Neale Hurston Museum and the Moseley House which are well worth the visit. Its dining and drinking scenes boast killer bars and restaurants – try southern-style fried fish at Soul Food Fantasy, or for something a little sweet, head over to DaJen Eats Café & Creamery. Offering a laidback ‘’live like the locals’’ experience, we love this spot because it allows us to see more of the area. Downtown Last but most certainly not least, we recommend downtown Orlando for those traveling without kids. Matching the vibrant energy of Winter Park, the city’s historic center is known as a total hub of cultural activity. Daytime attractions are definitely not far and few between; with the Amway Center, Lake Eola Park, and Wells’ Built Museum just a stone's throw away, there’s a lot to see here. Come nightfall, the area is fun and bustling with life. If you’re wondering about dining options (and let’s be real, why wouldn’t you be?) don’t worry – the area presents some of the best bars and restaurants in the city. Getting around the area is pretty simple – you can hail down passing cabs, check out the city’s metropolitan bus system, or just walk it. Never one to disappoint, we particularly love this area to stay in because it’s always reforming itself, coming up with cool and interesting new things to do. Crammed with iconic sites and bursting with fun, Orlando is well-recognized as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States. A trip to the City Beautiful is a dream come true for many, so putting the right amount of research into where you stay is key. Whether you’re looking to hit the theme parks, visit the area’s best museums, or just relax, your chosen location will play heavily into your vacation. Of course, there isn’t one spot that is truly best for everyone – just one that is right for you. Wherever you choose to stay, just remember – the city is what you make of it. See the sites, discover new things, and most importantly, have fun! To find out how to save money on your trip, check out our Explorer Pass and All-Inclusive Pass.
