An alternative route is to drive Interstate 4 eastbound and take exit 75A onto Sand Lake Road and head east. In about one mile, make a left onto International Drive. Dezerland Park will be on your right hand side approximately 0.4 miles down International Drive.

Parking Details

Dezerland is surrounded by a very large open-air parking lot with ample space for everyone and parking is free. The I-Drive Trolley also stops at Dezerland if you are planning on visiting other local attractions and don’t want to drive.

The park opens seven days a week but closes on Thanksgiving day. Note opening hours vary around Christmas and Thanksgiving and other special events.

Avoid peak crowd times on weekends and holidays if possible but note that Dezerland does not open until late morning most days.

Upon arrival, snap a photo out front with the iconic Dezerland Park entrance sign. Then grab a park map and daily show schedule near the front gate. Planning your must-do attractions in advance helps maximise your time.

For convenience, download the Dezerland Park mobile app. You can access the park map, restaurant menus, attraction wait times and more right from your phone. Link Souvenir Photo Pass for easy picture downloads.

Don't miss the main street entertainment like character meet-and-greets, dance parties, and roaming musicians. Pop into shops along the way to find unique souvenirs.

Stay fuelled up by sharing bites at different restaurants around the park. Split full-size portions instead of ordering individual meals. Enjoy comfort food classics at the Bond Lounge or grab a funnel cake to share.

Before leaving, stroll through the gift shop for souvenirs.

Most importantly, come ready for nonstop family-friendly fun! Let kids take the lead on what attractions they're most excited about. Ride go-karts and play mini golf together. Make time for interactive photo ops. The memories will last forever!

With smart planning using these local tips, you'll have an unforgettable experience at Orlando's newest can't-miss attraction, Dezerland Park!

Festival Bay Beginnings

Dezerland Park Orlando's long history and evolution laid the groundwork for the world-class entertainment destination it is today. The site was home to several previous attractions before being reimagined by Dezer Development.

Artegon opened in 2014, featuring local shops, restaurants, breweries, and art studios. A candy factory, comedy club and food hall with local eateries also opened. However, the unconventional mall model did not take off as hoped and it was shuttered again in 2017.

Finally, in 2018, Dezer Development purchased the property. Dezer's vision was to transform the complex into a world-class indoor theme park and entertainment center.

After extensive renovations, Dezerland Park Orlando emerged in 2020. By combining popular attractions with innovative new concepts, Dezer breathed exhilarating new life into the iconic Orlando site.

The entertainment destination has come full circle, realising the ambitious goals first dreamed up decades ago. Reimagined for the modern era, Dezerland Park stands ready to dazzle visitors for years to come!
