Guide to Old Town Kissimmee (with video)
Old Town Kissimmee is a great way to pass an evening if you are travelling to Orlando, but you can spend a whole day there as well if you want to do everything in this guide, including shopping, rides, activities, and restaurants!
I’ve walked through the main street of Old Town in a 360 travel video below. Started at main road and Ferris wheel and walked all the way past the stores and to the rides in the back.
Down below I have a comprehensive list of every store and ride and restaurant in Old Town, and will highlight my favorites.

Guide of things to do in Old Town Kissimmee
They are located right off the main highway on 192 near Disney.
5770 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy
Kissimmee FL, 34746
As you can see its close to Disney World.
They are open every day from 10am- 11 pm and have over 600 spots for parking, but please note that in evenings with special events the spots do fill up.
And its FREE to get in.
It’s called Old Town because it’s a recreation of a historic Florida town with classic and distinctive buildings and storefronts. And perhaps harkens back to a time when life was simpler.
They have 70 different storefronts along the way here and lots of variety of things to do.
