Dog-Friendly Activities on International Drive 

International Drive is full of fun for everyone, including your four-legged travel buddy. Open-air plazas, walkable paths, and pet-friendly patios provide plenty of spots to explore together. 

Pointe Orlando stands out as a great pet-friendly destination. Within walking distance of the hotel, Enjoy Mediterranean flavors at Taverna Opa’s lively outdoor patio or relax with your pup at Marlow’s Tavern and The Hampton Social, both featuring dog-friendly outdoor seating. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite and soak in the atmosphere side by side. 

Just two blocks away, ICON Park offers open-air walkways that are perfect for leashed pets. While not all venues allow dogs, it is a scenic spot for a leisurely stroll with your pup. 

If your dog needs to stretch and play, head to nearby off-leash parks such as Dr. Phillips Dog Park or West Orange Dog Park. Both are under 20 minutes from the resort and offer water stations, shaded areas, and separate sections for large and small dogs, making it a great way to let your pup socialize and enjoy the Florida sunshine. 

Pet Care While Visiting Orlando Theme Parks 

Planning to visit the theme parks? Orlando offers trusted pet care options so you can enjoy your day worry-free.

  • SeaWorld Orlando has air-conditioned day kennels near the park entrance, where you can check in on your pet throughout the day for feeding and walks.
  • Walt Disney World® Resort partners with Best Friends Pet Hotel, a full-service facility between Disney Springs and EPCOT Center, offering daycare, grooming, and overnight stays.
  • Universal Orlando Resort does not have on-site pet boarding, but nearby trusted pet care facilities make a full day at the parks possible. 

Many pet owners find that bringing along familiar toys or snacks helps their pups feel comfortable while they are away.
