Dezerland: Orlando's hidden gem

When we went to Orlando this month, we found a place even some of the natives (the fire department when we got stuck in the elevator) know nothing about: Dezerland. It's an amazing indoor activity center, great for families, go-cart enthusiasts, pinball machine lovers, classic car buffs, and mini golfers alike. 

This indoor attraction boasts 300 million dollars in classic cars. It has cars from the beginning of when cars were made, cars from James Bond movies (An entire room of these), cars from classic TV shows, and cars from all over the world at various stages in the last 100 years. 

We took the VIP tour and this allowed us to sit in some of these vehicles and take pictures. We got to sit in the Ghostbusters' car, because it was the 40th anniversary of the original movie debut. 

We saw two mystery machine vehicles from Scooby Doo the movie, the back to the future car, the cars from night rider, 

This amazing place is named after the development company who bought the land. Imagine Dave and Buster's on steroids. This is kind of what is happening. We couldn't even see all of it, although we tried to see a lot of it. 





Overall, I totally recommend seeing this when you are in Orlando, even if you don't like old cars, there is Go-Carts and pinball machines to keep you busy all day long...
