The Orlando World’s Fair for Kids began development in April 2003 as a project for the Orlando Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the city of Orlando, to create an annual spring break extravaganza as the family equivalent to “college spring break” for students. This World’s Fair, the first of its kind, was conceived to be concepted and built from the ground up in the same grand style of World's Fairs throughout history, but focused purely on kids and families with interactive learning at the core of every aspect of the event, framed in a fun family context.

This historical event was developed as a 10-year event, 9 days each year, during Spring Break each year as the Orlando Family Spring Break® event.
