Fun Spot America Theme Parks - Kissimmee

Fun Spot America in Kissimmee is the kind of place Orlando families return to year after year without having to plan six months in advance or spend $600 on tickets. It's a genuine amusement park — go-karts, roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, flat rides, and a large arcade — with the charm of a classic roadside attraction and a price point that doesn't require a second mortgage.

The go-kart complex is the main attraction. Multiple tracks at different levels offer experiences for different ages: younger kids can ride with parents on the family track, while older kids and teens can solo-drive on higher tracks with banked turns and real speed. The Mine Blower wooden roller coaster is a local favorite and genuinely thrills — it's rough and loud in the way only wooden coasters are, and kids who've graduated from kiddie rides will get their fix here without waiting two hours.

Fun Spot is entirely outdoors, which is both its charm and its limitation. On a beautiful Florida winter day or a warm evening, it's wonderful. In summer, the Florida heat and afternoon thunderstorms can cut visits short. The park is open until midnight, making it an ideal evening destination — temperatures drop, crowds thin out, and the midway atmosphere takes on a fun, lit-up quality.

All-day armbands cover unlimited access to coasters and flat rides; go-karts are priced separately (by the ride or in credit packs). Kids who want to spend most of their time on go-karts should budget accordingly. Parking is free, which is a small but real advantage over larger parks.
