From the Screen to the Scene: Chandler Riggs Takes on Kissimmee’s Top Attractions

Mortem Manor, the area's only year-round haunted attraction, stands as a premier destination for thrill-seekers and horror enthusiasts. Located in the heart of Old Town Kissimmee — once home to iconic haunts like Grimm Haunted House and Legends Haunted House — Mortem Manor has transformed since its 2016 debut into a world-renowned fright fest.  

Recently named "One of America's Scariest Haunted Houses" by the Travel Channel, Mortem Manor plunges visitors into a terrifying realm filled with state-of-the-art special effects, realistic props, and live actors in an old Victorian manor setting.  

Chandler appreciated the manor's attention to detail, noting its practical effects and sets reminiscent of those on professional film sets. Unlike traditional attractions, Mortem Manor provides a movie-quality experience, where towering animations and immersive environments captivate even the most seasoned horror fans.

Bigfoot Axe Throwers is one of the newest and largest axe-throwing venues in Kissimmee, boasting a technologically advanced scoring system that adds an exciting twist to this age-old activity. Chandler enjoyed the thrill of axe throwing for the second time ever, finding it an exhilarating challenge that combines skill and fun. With tablets and TVs at every lane, players can easily access scoring and various game options, making the experience both interactive and competitive.  

Beyond axe throwing, the venue also offers a Rage Room, where Chandler had a blast smashing items, adding another layer of excitement to his visit.  

The knowledgeable staff at Bigfoot Axe Throwers ensures everyone learns to throw an axe safely, making it a family-friendly destination for those looking to try something new and adventurous. Whether it's for an exciting day out with friends or a unique way to relieve stress, Bigfoot Axe Throwers provides a memorable experience that keeps visitors coming back for more. 

Max Action Arena at ICON Park is an interactive entertainment venue that offers a range of adrenaline-pumping activities, designed for individuals and groups. Chandler had the opportunity to experience some of Max Action Arena's most exciting attractions, including the free-roaming virtual reality games, which combine cutting-edge technology with physical movement for a highly immersive experience. Chandler also took on the challenge of some of the arena's escape rooms, including a Medieval themed one to tease his next adventure.  

With its wide array of activities, Max Action Arena ensures a memorable experience for everyone looking to enjoy high-octane fun and adventure. It is home to Orlando's first free-roaming VR arena and boasts 7 mini escape rooms, axe-throwing lanes for those 18 years and older, and Action Darts.

Among North America’s most popular dinner attraction, Medieval Times transports guests to the 11th century for an unforgettable adventure. Chandler fully immersed himself in the experience, sitting in the audience, cheering enthusiastically for the triumphant Blue Knight, and he also had the unique chance to meet some of the knights before the show. Chandler trained alongside them, gaining a newfound appreciation for the hard work and practice it takes to embody the role of a knight.  

Her Majesty invites everyone to her grand castle for a royal feast and an exhilarating tournament that spans approximately two hours. Visitors enjoy a four-course dinner fit for royalty while witnessing lance-shattering jousting, fierce swordsmanship, and thrilling hand-to-hand combat. The extraordinary displays of horsemanship and falconry offer an engaging escape into a world of chivalry and valor, ensuring an epic night of revelry and excitement for everyone involved.
