Since the inception of the Orlando City soccer team back in 2015, our family regularly attends the games, making treasured memories along the way. The games have become one of our favorite activities to enjoy together in Orlando. The electric atmosphere, especially from “the wall” of fans, makes the experience even more exciting. Over the years, even the mascot has gotten to know my son and greets him with a special handshake every time. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend attending a game with your family – it’s an experience you won’t forget!”
