Getting around Orlando can feel overwhelming, especially with so many attractions vying for your attention. The Orlando Select Pass offers a convenient, budget-friendly way to experience some of the city’s highlights, combining transportation, interactive fun, and a bit of adventure. While it may not cover every interest, it’s a flexible option particularly suited for travelers who want a taste of Orlando without the fuss of planning each activity separately.
What we love about this pass is the ease of use—with a mobile ticket, you simply activate your pass and get instant access to your chosen experiences. The hop-on hop-off trolley makes exploring the city simple, comfortable, and stress-free, especially in the Florida heat. The inclusion of WonderWorks, with its over 100 hands-on exhibits, offers fun for all ages, while the Escape Game adds a thrilling, interactive challenge to your day.
One possible drawback is that this pass doesn’t include lunch or other amenities, so you’ll need to plan for meals. Plus, the seven-day validity window means you need to make your bookings within that period, which could be restrictive if your schedule is tight. This pass is best suited for visitors who want a flexible, multi-activity experience that covers Orlando’s core attractions without breaking the bank.
If you’re after a straightforward, engaging way to see Orlando — especially if you’re traveling with family or friends who enjoy interactive museums and games — this pass could be a great fit. It balances value, convenience, and a variety of experiences, making it a practical choice for a first-time visit or a quick escape.

How the pass works
Your journey begins by activating your mobile pass, which is then valid for seven days. Once activated, you can visit each attraction once, although the trolley service is available for six days, providing a flexible way to hop around International Drive and the surrounding areas. The redeeming process is straightforward—your pass can be picked up at WonderWorks or the escape game venue, making it easy even if you’re arriving late or are unfamiliar with local procedures.
The I-Ride Trolley: Orlando’s Sightseeing Lifeline
The I-Ride Trolley is the backbone of this experience. Covering all main sightseeing spots and shopping districts, it allows you to hop on and off at your leisure. The buses are modern, air-conditioned, and designed for comfort, which is a significant plus given Orlando’s warm climate.
Traveling in groups noted the comfortable buses with wooden seats, and the few seats for two provide options for couples or small groups. The review emphasizing affordability and children paying the same rate suggests this is an accessible choice for families. The trolley makes it easy to explore without renting a car or navigating complicated public transit, making it ideal for visitors unfamiliar with Orlando.
Practical tips:
- Bring your pass to pick up your ticket at WonderWorks before boarding.
- Check the timetable for the best routes and times—most travelers find it runs smoothly throughout the day.
- With six days of access, you can spread out your sightseeing, or even revisit favorite spots.
WonderWorks: An Interactive Wonderland
The highlight for many families and curious travelers is WonderWorks, a science and entertainment center packed with over 100 interactive exhibits. From the death-defying bed-of-nails to astronaut training gyros, the museum offers a hands-on experience that’s both fun and educational.
The indoor glow-in-the-dark ropes course and bubble lab are especially popular, offering immersive activities that keep both kids and adults engaged. The three-hour visit provides enough time to explore most exhibits at a relaxed pace, and the all-access admission makes sure you don’t miss out on anything.
Insights from reviews:
Visitors have appreciated the variety of exhibits, noting that “it’s good for all ages,” and the interactive nature means everyone can get involved. The fun element makes it a memorable part of any Orlando trip, especially on a rainy day or when seeking a break from the theme parks.
The Escape Game: Adventures That Feel Like Hollywood
The Escape Game offers a 60-minute adventure that transforms you into a character in a thrilling story. Options like Prison Break, Mission: Mars, or The Heist promise twists, surprises, and plenty of suspense.
Reservations are strongly recommended, ensuring you get your preferred game time. The experience plays out like a Hollywood blockbuster, with puzzles and challenges that require teamwork and quick thinking. The review notes that these games are like twists and turns in a movie, making for a memorable, adrenaline-pumping addition to your day.

Is the Orlando Select Pass Worth It?
For the price of $64, this pass delivers multiple experiences that would cost more if booked separately. The inclusion of transportation with the trolley is a major convenience, especially for those unfamiliar with Orlando’s layout. The interactive exhibits and exciting escape game add fun, educational value that appeals to families and groups alike.
While it doesn’t cover everything — notably missing meals and some attractions — the flexibility and ease of access make it a smart choice for first-time visitors or those wanting a quick, varied taste of Orlando. It’s particularly valuable if you want to spread out activities over several days without stressing about individual bookings or tickets.
Who Will Love This Experience?
This pass is ideal for families with kids, group travelers, or first-time visitors eager to see key attractions without the hassle of extensive planning. If you enjoy interactive exhibits and adventure games, you’ll find plenty to keep busy. Travelers on a budget will appreciate the bundle price, especially since it provides a convenient way to see Orlando’s highlights.
However, if your interests lean toward theme parks or upscale dining, this pass might serve better as a supplement rather than a full-day experience. It’s a great starter pack for an introduction to Orlando’s breadth of entertainment.
