Hey, everyone! Chrissa here!
And today I'm going to take you on a tour of Dezerland Park in Orlando.
If you are looking for a fun alternative to the theme parks
or just looking for an indoor activity to do on a rainy day
Dezerland Park has a ton of fun activities and attractions.
Dezerland Park is an 800,000 square foot indoor attraction
that started as a passion project created by Sebastian Machkovsky and real estate
developer, car collector and billionaire, Michael Dezer.
Dezerland Park was opened in December 2020 and boasts
several attractions that include electric go karts, bowling alleys, arcade,
laser tag, an auto museum, and so much more.
We visited on an excruciating hot Saturday morning,
and so I was looking for something fun to do indoors to escape the heat.
And I have to admit that I wasn't quite sure what to expect
when we arrived here, but when we walked through the doors,
I was blown away by how huge this place is.
One of the main attractions and one of the first things
that I had to go and check out was the Auto Museum.
The Auto Museum here is the personal auto collection of Michael Dezer
and is the largest personal collection of vehicles in the U.S.
There are about 2000 vehicles within this collection
and are displayed in over 18 different groupings.
There's even a few cars that you can find outside of the museum
sprinkled throughout the park that you can see for free.
Once you do walk into the museum.
The very first showstopper that you can't miss is the Guinness World Record holder
as the longest car in the world, which is called the American Dream
and is over 100 feet long.
This incredible super limo is made up of over six
El Dorado limos, and it can seat more than 75 passengers
and has a helicopter pad, a putting green
and even a swimming pool.
When we finished admiring the American Dream, I started my tour
around the Dezer Collection, starting at the 1920s, where you're
encouraged to start by the museum, following the footsteps
on the floor.
Then I made my way over to the Cars of the Stars,
where you can find an incredible collection of cars
from the movies and television like Back to the Future, Indiana Jones,
Dukes of Hazzard, Ghostbusters as well as so many more.
But the collection does not stop there.
There is also the cars of Buckingham Palace, the Gatsby Lounge,
the Supercars, and the cars of Europe,
like the U.K., France and Italy.
A few of my favorites were the Vespa Lounge
that has this entire wall of Vespas,
as well as the Batcave.
Where you can find the Batmobiles of Adam West, Michael Keaton
and Val Kilmer.
You can spend an entire day
just walking around the auto museum and we almost did
We were here for hours.
And I'm sure that we probably still didn't see it all, but
we definitely did try
In addition to the auto museum
You also get access to the Bond Museum, which is located
in the very back of the 007 Lounge and has the largest collection
of James Bond movie cars, aircrafts and memorabilia.
Once we finished admiring the incredible collection of Michael Dezer,
I wanted to go and check out a few of the fun activities
that are also available here, like the Putting Edge,
which is a really fun 18 hole glow in the dark mini golf course
where you can step into this whimsical world of color and images.
There are several different rooms that have different themes,
and the course itself was just challenging enough and I highly recommend
this if you're looking for a fun indoor activity to do with the family.
Another popular thing to do
at Dezerland is the Go Karting, and these electric go karts
are on one of Florida's longest indoor tracks.
The adult tracks include Intermediate, Pro, and Legend races,
and the cadet track includes a junior race.

If go karting is not your thing
There's also an arcade here that has over 300 arcade games
that includes everything from a gamer's lounge, VR games, laser tag,
bumper cars, as well as an entire pinball palace
that features over 150 different pinball games,
which is Florida's largest pinball collection and arcade.
If you have kids that enjoy a trampoline,
then you'll want to take them over to Jump Start trampoline park that has over
20,000 square feet of fun and includes different areas for play of all ages,
including dodgeball and a super slam basketball court.
If you're looking for even
more things to do, then there's also a boutique bowling alley
that is complete with a full bar and a restaurant as well as ax throwing.
Where you can try your hand at different targets, including
moving ones as well as a variety of games.
You can even catch a movie here at Cinemark
and even fire some airsoft guns over at play shooting.
There's also quite a few shops here that include Rocket Fizz,
which is a really fun candy and soda shop.
Leather Goods
and the Dezerland Gift Shop, which has a huge assortment of souvenirs and toys.
Once you're finished exploring all of the attractions
and you're looking for a bite to eat while you're here, there are also
several options where you can grab a burger, a pizza,
as well as Milk, which is an all you can eat cereal bar
where you can try all the cereal you want for $5.
So if you are thinking of heading over to Dezerland
Park, here are a few things to keep in mind.
There is no cost to enter Dezerland Park, so if you do want to just go
and walk around, you can do that without having to pay any admission.
However, if you do want to partake in any of the activities,
you do have to pay for each attraction individually.
But Dezerland also has a few different packages
that you can purchase if you're
looking to do a few different things while you're there.
Also, if you're looking for discounts, I was able to find a Groupon
for both the auto museum and the mini golf course,
so I highly recommend checking out Groupon before you head over there.
One of the things that I loved about Dezerland is that this place is huge
and there are so many different things to do here.
And even though we visited on a holiday weekend,
it didn't feel very crowded, which was a really nice change.
And a cool thing is that if you're looking for a unique place to say,
hold your next Christmas party or even maybe your birthday,
you can rent out the space because they host events here too.
If you have made it this far in the video, I would love to hear
from you on Instagram @chrissatravels

If you're looking for even more unique things to do in Orlando,
then I've got an entire playlist for you that just popped up on the screen.

Until next time, everyone.
I hope you have an amazing day and go out and enjoy some Florida sunshine.
