New at Orlando: Explore Sloth World & Family-Friendly Adventures (Stay at Celeste)

Orlando is known as the city where adventure never stops and smiles never fade. In early 2026, the family travel scene gets even more exciting with the arrival of a truly unusual wildlife experience right along International Drive – Sloth World, a unique indoor habitat where visitors can observe more than 40 sloths in a lush, rainforest-style environment.

Just minutes from this memorable attraction and a wide range of family favorites, The Celeste Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel makes a welcoming and comfortable base for families looking to mix nature, education, thrill rides, and good food into one unforgettable getaway.

Discover a Gentle New Attraction in Orlando

Sloth World opens to the public in February 2026 as the world’s first immersive slotharium experience. Located at 6582 International Drive, this 7,500 square foot indoor habitat invites families to walk through a rainforest-inspired space alongside relaxed, free roaming sloths. It is designed to let the animals thrive in a calm setting while guests learn about their behavior and habitats from knowledgeable guides.

Unlike typical zoo exhibits, this attraction does not have cages or glass barriers, giving families a peaceful way to observe sloths as they climb, rest, and explore in environments modeled after their native tropical homes. Each guided visit emphasizes education and conservation, making it a truly family-friendly learning adventure suitable for children of all ages.

Whether your children are fascinated by wildlife or simply enjoy new experiences that capture their curiosity, this tranquil and thoughtful setting offers a fresh perspective on Orlando family attractions.

The hotel’s on-site dining venue, Aurora, serves modern American cuisine that appeals to both adults and children. Guests can also enjoy a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, a workout in the 24 hour fitness center, or a relaxed morning coffee at the cafe before heading out for the day.

Located near the University of Central Florida campus, the hotel places you within easy reach of family attractions while still offering a peaceful hotel experience far from busy park crowds.
