MEGACON & Superheroic Attractions

Unleash your inner superhero at the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming celebration in the southeastern U.S., plus one-of-a-kind year-round attractions.

MEGACON Orlando

The southeast’s premier pop culture convention, MEGACON Orlando takes place every spring at the Orange County Convention Center, with the next edition set for March 19 – 22, 2026. Living up to the “mega” part of its name, the event boasts 400,000 square feet of shopping, plus appearances by comic book creators and Hollywood celebrities, “How To” workshops, tattoo artists, and more cosplayers than one could reasonably be expected to shake a stick at.

Discover: Spring Food & Fun

A diverse lineup of celebrities has already been announced for 2026 with more to come, including cast members from Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Lord of the Rings, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Reno 911!, legendary comic creators like Frank Miller and Jim Lee, to name a few. Tickets tend to sell out — be sure to secure yours faster than a speeding bullet.

Madame Tussauds Orlando

If you can’t make it to Orlando in the spring to attend MEGACON, you still have the opportunity to meet some of your favorite superheroes at Madame Tussauds Orlando. Here, you can interact with lifelike, expertly detailed wax figures of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg from DC Entertainment’s Justice League motion picture in action-packed environments — and yes, photography is welcome.

World’s Largest Collection of Batman Vehicles at Dezerland Park

You can’t drive the Batmobile in Orlando (yet!) — but you can see a whole bunch of them at Orlando Auto Museum, featuring those used by Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and others. In fact, they have the world’s largest collection of Bat-conveyances, including a “nuclear-powered” Batboat, not to mention about 2,000 other rare vehicles. Orlando Auto Museum is part of Dezerland Park, the massive indoor amusement park in the I-Drive Entertainment District.

iFLY Orlando Indoor Skydiving

Ever wanted to fly like Superman? You can — sort of — at iFLY Orlando Indoor Skydiving on I-Drive. Granted, you won’t travel beyond the attraction’s vertical wind tunnel, but while you’re in it, there’s nothing stopping you from extending your arms straight out in front of you like the Man of Tomorrow himself.

Marvel Super Hero Island® at Universal’s Islands of Adventure

If you prefer Marvel Comics to their “Distinguished Competition,” head to Universal’s Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort. The park’s Marvel Super Hero Island® gives you the chance to meet iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and Rogue, plus dastardly villains such as Doctor Doom and the Green Goblin.

You can also sup like a superhero at Captain America Diner® and Cafe 4™. The latter hosts the Marvel Character Dinner, where you can even sup with superheroes (reservations required and subject to availability).

Appearance of characters is subject to change without notice, and not all characters listed are guaranteed to appear at the same time, or on the same day.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT®

At Walt Disney World® Resort, save the galaxy with Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot aboard Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, part of the first “other-world” pavilion at EPCOT®. It’s also the park’s first coaster, the first Disney coaster with a reverse launch, the longest fully enclosed coaster at any Disney theme park, and the first Disney Omnicoaster, where vehicles make controlled rotations to always keep you focused on the action.

Did we mention the rocking soundtrack featuring some of the galaxy’s coolest music? Because it has that, too. The surrounding Wonders of Xandar pavilion is also highly immersive, inviting you to explore Xandarian people, culture, history and heroes via specially crafted displays, and stock up on keepsakes to commemorate your adventure with the Guardians. I am Groot!

Superheroic Comic Book & Hobby Shops in Orlando

Take a break from your Orlando adventures at fan-favorite comic book and hobby shops throughout the destination.

Gods & Monsters

Located on International Drive, aka I-Drive, close to Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld® Orlando, this shop offers comic books, games, toys and collectibles, as well as a robust events schedule. What really makes Gods & Monsters stand out are thematic elements like a gallery of pop culture displayed as fine art, and the on-site Vault 5421, billed as a post-apocalyptic-themed, craft-beer speakeasy.
