When a family receives a serious diagnosis, especially for a child, it often becomes the focus of everyday life. Dezerland Action Park and Larger Than Life are working together to give these families a day of fun.
On March 20th, Dezerland Action Park will host 35 children and teens, who are not currently undergoing treatment, as a part of Larger Than Life’s annual dream trip. Larger Than Life is a nonprofit organization that supports children and families in Israel throughout the healing process.
Each year, the organization brings children—accompanied by caregivers, medical professionals, and family members—from Israel and other parts of the United States to Orlando.
For this year’s trip, Dezerland Action Park has agreed to cover the cost of all 75 to 100 guests’ fun and food during their visit to the entertainment center.
The group will enjoy a kosher meal inside Pinball Palace and a tour of the Orlando Auto Museum, which is home to more than 2,000 vehicles, including many vehicles made famous by television and movies, and the world’s largest collection of James Bond vehicles and memorabilia.
Larger Than Life and Dezerland Action Park are also inviting members of the local community and other supporters of the organization to take part in the fun with a celebration in the Orlando Auto Museum. From 6pm to 9:30pm, guests will be able to explore the museum’s extensive collection of vehicles, followed by a carnival-style party complete with concession stands in the American Classics exhibit. The event will also feature amazing entertainment, including an acrobat and a floating statue performer. Tickets for supporters will cost $20 for adults and $10 for children and 100% of the ticket proceeds will benefit Larger Than Life.
“We couldn’t be more excited to host the children from Larger Than Life at Dezerland Action Park and to see members of the community participate in the celebration,” said John Goodman, vice president of sales and marketing at Dezerland Action Park. “They’ve traveled a long way for this once-in-a-lifetime trip and it’s an honor to help them create happy memories.”
Before the Larger Than Life celebration begins, those attending the event can also explore Dezerland Action Park Orlando’s other offerings, like axe throwing, racing on Florida’s longest indoor go-kart track with four skill and speed levels and competing in the laser tag maze or virtual reality arena.
Dezerland Action Park Orlando is nearly the size of 15 football fields under one roof, making it Florida’s largest indoor attraction with over 850,000 square feet of family entertainment options. Dezerland also features Florida’s longest indoor go-kart track, boutique bowling, more than 300 video and arcade skill games, a 30,000 square-foot trampoline park, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, bumper cars, axe throwing, electric mini-cycles, rage room, Cinemark theater and more.
