Your Leap Age, that is. Divide your legal age by four to figure out many Leap Years old you are, then celebrate accordingly with youthful events and attractions throughout your visit. Splurge on character dining, immerse yourself in virtual reality gaming, uncover dino fossils, meet your favorite childhood critters, and experience the wonder of our breathtaking live shows. The best part? Anyone can celebrate at any time of the year. After all, there’s no better place than Orlando to feel young at heart.
Celebrate Your Unique Love on the Most Unique Day of the Year
In Irish folklore, St. Patrick granted women permission to propose on just one day a year, every four years: February 29. Sure, the concept is a little outdated now, but you can’t deny the appeal of proposing on such a unique date. No matter who you are or what you believe, you can kick off a lifetime of happiness with a bounty of unique proposal options found only in Orlando. Or, set a date to remember with a jaw-dropping wedding in our beautiful gardens, hotels, theme parks and historic spaces.

Celebrate One Giant Leap for Mankind
What better way to celebrate Leap Day than with a day trip to Kennedy Space Center? Walk among giants in the Rocket Garden, meet a real astronaut and come nose-to-nose with an actual space shuttle, all included with regular admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Take time to celebrate how far we’ve come, and ponder what we might discover by the time the next Leap Day rolls around.
The American Space Museum & Space Walk of Fame is another great option, located minutes from Kennedy Space Center in downtown Titusville. Both attractions are about one hour east of Orlando, near the Atlantic coast.
FUNBOX Orlando
Leap Your Heart Out
We take Leap Day very literally around here. Put a little pep in your step with high-flying trampoline parks, bounce houses and family entertainment centers where you can bounce, soar, leap, fly and play all day long. Choose from standalone parks like FUNBOX at The Florida Mall® or bundle your fun with additional offerings from Launch Entertainment Orlando and Jump Start Trampoline Park at Dezerland Park Orlando.

Gather your favorite Orlando vacation memories, from photos and trinkets to theme park maps and candles, and seal them up in your very own time capsule. Plan a return visit for the next Leap Year to open your treasures, celebrate vacations past, and explore all that’s changed since your last visit.
Have you ever wished you had more time? More time to relax, to visit with friends, or to try something new? Leap Day means an extra day to do all that and more. Treat yourself to an indulgent spa day, go on a 24-hour foodie tour with friends, soar through the sky on a hang gliding flight, and make space for new memories in Orlando.
