About
Old Town is a fun entertainment district that recreates a classic Florida town from the olden days. This 18-acre outdoor walking district is a mere five miles away from Disney World, and contains a collection of shops, restaurants, events and entertainment. It’s home to dozens of amusement rides, including a merry-go-round and a Ferris wheel—perfect for the kids to enjoy while the adults shop. On some days, you'll be able to catch some live music. On weekend nights, the brick streets come alive as folks line the sidewalks to admire the parades of muscle cars and classic cars. – Tripadvisor

    A Favourite Haunt - year in, year out
    We've been coming to Old Town on our Days and Nights off from Disney every time we visit the area. So much so, we always make sure we stay at a hotel that is within walking distance of Old Town. There is so much on offer food wise, there is a large and eclectic collection of shops and other attractions. The bars are fun and the drinks are touristy prices, but nothing too over the top, like other places in the extended greater Orlando area. We've met so many wonderful people over the years in these shops and bars, a few still there, others have since moved on, but most are always happy to chat you. We love the cruise nights with the classic cars and the muscle cars, where you can walk amongst them before and after. I'm trying to put 10 years worth of visits (last visit was end of August/beginning of September 2023) into one review, yet I shouldn't because the place has changed, yet the feel hasn't. As I say, our two favourite places to stay are within walking distance. I always recommend this place to any fellow Brit visiting the area.
    We are so thankful for your kind words and review of Old Town. We appreciate your recommendations to others as well. We pride ourselves as an affordable, clean attraction that appeals to all ages featuring unique and affordable shops, restaurants, bars, rides and family friendly attractions. While we are always updating our stores and restaurants we always keep the Old Town theme throughout our Entertainment District. We look forward to your next trip to Old Town. Thank you again!

    Very nice afternoon stop for us!
    Old Town is a cool place to visit when nearby. We took a stroll thru and went in many of the shops. Some are unique and very interesting. I especially liked Black Hills Minerals, where there's some cool rocks and stuff. This is an easy way to kill a couple of hours in an afternoon or evening and there's some good food as well as exciting rides to enjoy. Like everything in a tourist town, it can get a bit pricy but if you pick and choose you can stretch the dollar a bit and get some good value.
    Thank you so very much for taking the time to give Old Town your review. We are very appreciative and happy to know you enjoyed your time with us. We pride ourselves as an affordable, clean attraction that appeals to all ages featuring unique and affordable shops, restaurants, bars, rides and family friendly attractions. We hope that you will visit us again on your next trip to Central Florida.

    Cool spot with friendly people
    Cool spot! Lots of cool little shops with very nice people running them! Kids should have fun here too. No need to go bright and early, I’d personally wait for around 1:00, that should be plenty of time for all of the shops to slowly open. I love this part of Florida!

    Don't miss a Free night at Old Town, Kissimmee
    We have been visiting Florida for over 30 years and never visited "Old Town". As we had a house in Kissimmee this attraction was only a 10 minute drive away. If you are at all interested in cars, both classic and modern you should pay a visit on either Friday or Saturday nights (or both as we did!). Free to enter and you get the opportunity to view the cars and then watch the parade at 8.30. What an experience and FREE!!!! There are also a number of quaint shops, bars, and eating places. Well worth a visit. Dave P
    We are so appreciative of your review and couldn't agree more with everything you said! We pride ourselves as an affordable, clean attraction that appeals to all ages featuring unique and affordable shops, restaurants, bars, rides and family friendly attractions. We hope you will continue to visit us on your trips to Florida. See you again very soon!

    Nice Atmosphere
    Nice atmosphere and something for everyone in the family. Free parking! Many shops, rides, eateries, and entertainment. Whole area has a nice vibe. It is probably a couple of blocks long and wide so the walking isn’t terrible. Everything seemed to be reasonable priced. It’s isn’t Disney or Universal but you don’t have to pay the price for those either! I probably wouldn’t go every week if I was local but I would go back for a couple of hours if I had the time.
    Thank you for taking the time for your review of Old Town. We greatly appreciate it.

    NO CHARHE FOR OLD TOWN
    We go to old town several times a week from October through April and I can tell you there is no charge to get into old town to walk around. If you go to fun spot theme park to ride rides you can buy ride tickets. But this is shameful someone would tell the public there is a charge when I know there is not! Please go enjoy the most fun FREE place in Kissimmee, Florida. THERE ARE A FEW Places like the Mortem Manor where you pay to be scared to death and of course there is a fee to ride the rides in the Fun Spot theme park! There is a fee to mine for gemstones or a fee to have massages from the fish (which is so awesome ) located inside old town, but just to walk around look at the muscle cars on Friday’s or the antique cars on Saturday, do Karaoke at the bars or listen to the free bands within the streets of old town….there is NO charge! Go enjoy, have fun, shop for souvenirs and eat yummy food, even try a few gator bites! It’s the fun place to be located off of I-4 on Bronson Memorial highway aka (Rt 192) Enjoy!
    Thank you so much for your review of Old Town. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. We pride ourselves as an affordable, clean attraction that appeals to all ages featuring unique and affordable shops, restaurants, bars, rides and family friendly attractions. We look forward to your visits through April and can't wait to see you back in October! All the best and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

    We knew nothing about this place before we went there. We went on Saturday morning and there was a "parade" of old cars which was very interesting to see. The location is like an old western town with specialty shops and restaurants. There was an amusement park ride aspect but none of the rides were working when we were there. Next door is a bigger amusement ride are.

    Worth checking out
    This is a little boardwalk type area with a few carnival rides and go carts. There are a lot bars/restaurants and a few tourist trap kind of souvenir places too. There is a stage in the center with varying entertainment most nights.

This is a run down dump charging crazy prices. The magic show was ridiculous. Magician messed up almost every trick. And the place is a dirty, dusty mess. The "newly renovated" arcade must have been renovated in 1976. They wanted $59 per head for a ride pass for a moderate collection of carnival rides in the "fun spot". When we asked about riding the merry-go-round they said $5/pp. So $40 for my group of 8 to ride a carrousel? Don't think so. The western shooting gallery we were looking forward to was a deserted little nook with 2 out of 5 stations working (maybe) and was pitiful looking. The weirdest and most random collection of gift shops that I cannot imagine how they stay in business. Avoid this disaster area.

We visited Old Town Kissimmee during our holiday and we absolutely loved the evening vibe here!
The lights around the walkways are beautiful and although we didn't go in we loved the look and sound of the haunted mansion attraction!
We went on a Wednesday and Friday night when they had live music and it was so lovely to be outside in the company of others enjoying the music and having a dance.
It's also great that you can buy drinks to walk around with while you're browsing the windows of the unique retro shops.
And we met some amazing local people too!

We went to Old Town because we saw it on a youtube travel video about things to do in Orlando besides Disney, etc. We were really impressed. There are some great shops, places toe at and entertainment. Many bars had live music and there was a stage with a band and great line dancers!
The costs were reasonable and we had fun. Friday night was a classic car cruise night and we saw all the cars and then a parade. We went back on Saturday and saw the muscle car parade. There is an amusement park with go karts next door and there is plenty to do.

There is a Magic Hall Theater in Old Town that not only teaches you great magic tricks you can go home and do but also offers a wonderful magic show. At $10 per ticket it is the best deal in Florida. Great show for families as Atilio the magi take you through 5 rooms of magic and mystery. Charming gentleman who offers daily shows at the Mystery Theater.

Blech! Used to be a fun and interesting place to go, but now it's become filled with kitchy t-shirt shops, bars, and a few fast food places. At least 4 of the larger restaurant spaces are now dark. Parking is difficult unless you're willing to pay $10, and watch out, they had two tow truck patrolling the area when I was there. I'm sure some will like Old Town, but to me it's just not worth it anymore.

We travel to Orlando often and stay at our timeshare. We were introduced to Old Town by friends and have gone there almost every time we visit Orlando. Besides a great Pizza Restaurant there are many other restaurants and snack places amongst the shops that line the streets of old town. Walking only except for the car show parades on Friday and Saturday evening. Antique cars usually on Friday Night and Muscle Cars on Saturday but check before you go as I am not sure which is on which night. We look at all the cars and there are over a hundred usually, then hit some shops and go the pizza restaurant to sit at the outside tables and watch the cars parade by at 8pm.

Lots of things to see and do. Depending on the night of the week, they also have special events like a car show or karaoke or concerts. There are several little shops, restaurants, bars, and some amusement park rides. You can also catch a magic show.

This is a mix of a place still trying to find a theme. Lots of bars with outside seating. Bar food, and cold drinks. A few shops for souvenirs. A stage venue for some late night singers. A few adult rides ( large Ferris wheel, zip lines).a few teen rides; a few rides for young children. We wanted a place to take our grandchild of 3 years old. We went on the race car track and the bumper cars. She was thrilled and had a great time for 1 hour, which is about her attention span. She asked to go back again. The prices seemed reasonable for the rides and much cheaper than Disney world and no the wait in line. Parking is free, No entrance fee, no long lines and it fit what we needed for a few hours. Enjoy.

Great place to spend a weekend day. But be prepared to search for parking. Parking is free if you can find it, but there are private lots where you can pay-to-park. But once you find parking, it is a fun place to go on rides, watch people, eat tasty food, and shop at an abundance of unique shops. We spent a great day there, and the only negative thing we encountered was parking.
