# Orlando International Airport (MCO) with Kids: Every Family Facility, Mapped

**Short answer:** Orlando International documents 21 nursing rooms and 29 companion care restrooms, every single one with an adult changing table, across Terminals A, B and C. There is no children's play structure — only Flybrary, a reading nook in Terminal C — but Annie's Space sensory room runs 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. before security in Terminal A.

**Velivolo family score:** 7/10 (Decent)

MCO is the most thoroughly documented airport in this guide for feeding and changing: 21 nursing rooms and Mamava pods spread across every terminal, and 29 companion care restrooms that each carry an adult changing table, right down to the Terminal C international arrivals hall. What it doesn't have is a children's play structure — Flybrary, a reading nook near Gate 240, is the closest thing. Annie's Space sensory room runs 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. before security, open to everyone, not just ticketed passengers.

## Quick facts

- MCO documents 29 companion care restrooms across Terminals A, B and C, the Train Station and the Ground Transportation Facility, and every single one has an adult changing table.
- MCO's Flybrary, a reading nook near Gate 240 in Terminal C, is the airport's only dedicated children's space — there is no climbing structure or play equipment anywhere at MCO.
- Annie's Space, MCO's sensory room, sits before security in Terminal A near the food court, open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and welcoming everyone, not only ticketed passengers.
- MCO Reserve offers a free bookable time slot at a dedicated security lane in all three terminals, though standard TSA screening still applies once you reach the front.
- Terminal A and Terminal B are two sides of one building 525 feet apart, crossed on Level 3, while Terminal C is a separate building reached only landside — meaning a transfer from A or B to C requires clearing security again.

## Security with children

- **Family lane:** MCO publishes no family security lane. It does run MCO Reserve — a free bookable time slot at a dedicated lane, available in Terminals A, B and C, with a limited number of slots each day and booking open up to seven days ahead. You still go through standard TSA screening once you reach the front. TSA PreCheck lanes normally run 4:00 a.m.–8:30 p.m.
- **Strollers and car seats:** TSA rules apply: strollers, umbrella strollers, baby carriers, car seats and booster seats must be screened by X-ray, and anything too large for the belt is inspected by hand. Take your child out and carry them through the walk-through metal detector.
- **Formula, milk and baby food:** Formula, breast milk, toddler drinks and baby food including puree pouches are allowed over 3.4 oz (100 ml) and do not have to fit in the quart bag. Ice packs and gel packs are allowed whether or not breast milk is present. Declare them at the start of screening and take them out of your bag.
- **Shoes:** Children 12 and under can leave their shoes, light jackets and headwear on during screening.
- **PreCheck:** MCO states that children under 18 are not required to present a photo ID at the checkpoint. It publishes no PreCheck-with-children rule of its own.

## Getting between terminals

The Terminal Link automated people mover runs 24 hours a day between Terminal B (East Hall / Hotel Atrium) and the Train Station. A shuttle bus also runs 24 hours a day between Terminal C Level 1 at space C272 and Terminal B Level 1 at space B16. To reach the Train Station from Terminal C, exit on Level 4 and walk through Parking Garage C. Within Terminals A and B, Gate Link trains connect the departure halls to the four gate areas post-security; a passenger arriving in Terminal A or B can switch Gate Links to reach the paired gate area without re-screening, but only by transferring immediately rather than walking out into the terminal.

## Layover plans

### 1–2 hours — Book MCO Reserve first, then move fast

1. Check for a free MCO Reserve slot before you leave home — all three terminals have a dedicated lane.
2. In Terminals A and B, go straight to the checkpoint serving your gate pair (1–59 or 70–129); you cannot cross between them once through.
3. Feed or change at the nearest of MCO's 29 restrooms — every one has an adult changing table, so you don't need to search for a special one.

### 3–5 hours — Use Annie's Space before you go through, then settle in

1. If a quiet moment helps before security, Annie's Space in Terminal A is open 7 a.m.–9 p.m. and welcomes non-ticketed family too.
2. Once airside, use whichever of MCO's 21 nursing rooms is closest to your gate — every terminal and concourse has at least one.
3. In Terminal C, let kids sit and read at Flybrary near Gate 240 — there's no climbing equipment, but it's a place to slow down.

### International connection — Terminal C means clearing security again

1. If you're connecting from Terminal A or B into Terminal C, budget time to clear security a second time — MCO's Terminal Link and the Terminal C walk are both landside.
2. Terminal C's international arrivals hall has its own companion care restroom by baggage claim C67, useful straight off a long flight.
3. Use one of the three Terminal C nursing rooms — at Level 1/2 check-in, at the Gates C230–C238 entrance, or near Gate C244 — once you're through.

## Your rights

- **Lactation:** MCO is a large hub, so the FAM Act requires a lactation area in the sterile area of each terminal with a locking door, a seat, a flat surface, a power outlet and access to a sink or sanitiser. MCO documents 21 nursing rooms and Mamava pods across every terminal, exceeding the letter of the requirement, though it publishes nothing about sinks, outlets or hours for any individual room.
- **Changing tables:** The same law requires a baby changing table in at least one men's and one women's restroom per terminal, compliance due by 30 September 2020. MCO is unusually explicit that adult changing tables are installed in all 29 of its companion care restrooms, but it publishes nothing about where baby changing tables specifically are, or whether ordinary men's restrooms have them.
- **Liquids:** TSA's national rule applies at MCO: formula, breast milk, toddler drinks and baby food over 3.4 oz (100 ml) are allowed and do not need to fit in the quart bag, and your child does not have to be travelling with you. Ice packs and gel packs are allowed whether or not breast milk is present.
- **Boarding:** Priority boarding for families is set by your airline, not by MCO — check your carrier's policy before you fly.
- **If it is missing:** MCO publishes exact positions for its nursing rooms and restrooms directly on its FAQ page rather than only on an interactive map, which is unusually thorough. For anything not listed, MCO Reserve and the family-friendly amenities page are the airport's own starting points.

## FAQ

### Does Orlando International Airport have a kids' play area?

Not a play structure, no. MCO's amenity matrix is direct about this: there is no children's play structure anywhere in the airport. What MCO does have is Flybrary, described on its own family-friendly amenities page as a playful library and reading nook, perfect for story time — it's in Terminal C on Level 2 near Gate 240, past the single Terminal C checkpoint. Flybrary is a place to sit and read together, not somewhere to climb or run, and there is no climbing equipment anywhere at MCO. For a Florida airport serving huge numbers of families heading to theme parks, this is a genuine gap worth planning around — bring your own activities for the wait, and treat Flybrary as a calm stop rather than an energy-burning one.

### Where are the nursing rooms at MCO?

MCO documents 21 nursing rooms and Mamava pods, more than almost any other US airport, spread across Terminal A, Terminal B, Terminal C, the Train Station and the Ground Transportation Facility. Terminal A has rooms at Level 3 across from the Spirit and Southwest counters plus a Mamava pod and room out on the Gates 1–29 and 100–129 concourses. Terminal B has rooms across from the Delta and United counters, a Mamava pod by baggage claim carousel 24, and rooms on the Gates 30–59 and 70–99 concourses. Terminal C spreads rooms from its Ground Transportation levels out to Gates C234, C238 and C244. The Train Station alone carries three, on Levels 1, 3 and 5. MCO gives locations only — no hours, no sink or outlet information, and no statement of whether a stroller fits inside.

### Does MCO have family restrooms with changing tables?

Yes, extensively. MCO publishes a gate-by-gate list of 29 companion care, unisex and family restrooms spread across every level of Terminal A, B and C, the Train Station area and the Ground Transportation Facility — and the airport states plainly that every single one has an adult changing table installed. That includes restrooms before security, like the ones across from Lost and Found in Terminal A, and restrooms deep past security near individual gates like C234 and C244. It also includes two restrooms in Terminal C's Level 6 baggage claim and one specifically in the international arrivals hall by carousel C67 — a rare example of an airport documenting arrivals-level family facilities rather than leaving them undocumented. What MCO does not publish is where baby-specific changing tables are, separate from the adult ones.

### Does MCO have a sensory room?

Yes. Annie's Space is MCO's sensory room, located before security in Terminal A near the food court, across from Truist Bank, and open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Because it sits landside, anyone can use it, not just ticketed passengers — that includes a family seeing someone off or one that has just landed and needs a calming stop before heading out. MCO describes it as a calming environment for managing sensory overload and says everyone is welcome, asking only that visitors follow house rules: no food or drink inside, shoes on, no running or rough play, and children always accompanied by an adult. For non-emergency assistance at the space, MCO publishes a direct line: 407-825-3177. This is MCO's only sensory room — Terminal B and Terminal C have none.

### Can I rent a stroller at MCO?

MCO publishes nothing confirming or denying stroller rental — its family-friendly amenities page and its FAQ both stay silent on the subject entirely, which is different from a documented "no." Some third-party travel guides mention stroller rental at Orlando's airport, but nothing on flymco.com supports or contradicts that claim, so we cannot verify it either way. Given the volume of families flying through MCO toward Orlando's theme parks, the safest plan is to bring your own stroller and gate-check it, since MCO also publishes no gate-check policy of its own — that decision is set entirely by your airline. If you're relying on a rental stroller for your whole trip, arrange it through your hotel or a theme park rather than counting on the airport.

### Does MCO have a family security lane?

MCO advertises no lane specifically labelled for families, but it does run MCO Reserve, a free bookable time slot at a dedicated lane available in all three terminals — Terminal A, B and C each have one. Booking opens up to seven days ahead and slots are limited each day, so reserve early if your flight is at a busy time. You still go through standard TSA screening once you reach the front of the Reserve lane; it converts an open-ended wait into a fixed appointment rather than skipping the process. TSA PreCheck lanes at MCO normally run 4:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Standard TSA child rules apply throughout: children 12 and under keep shoes and light jackets on, and MCO states that children under 18 are not required to present photo ID at any checkpoint.

### How do I get between MCO's terminals with a stroller?

It depends which terminals you're moving between. Terminals A and B are two sides of one building, 525 feet apart, and you cross between them on Level 3 without leaving the secure area if you're already through security — the Gate Link people movers also connect the paired gate areas (1–29 with 30–59, or 70–99 with 100–129) if you transfer immediately after clearing the checkpoint. Terminal C is different: it's a separate building, reached from Terminal B via the 24-hour Terminal Link people mover to the Train Station, then roughly a 1,200-foot walk through Parking Garage C — entirely landside, so moving from A or B to C means clearing security again from scratch. MCO does not publish exact transfer times or state whether strollers are permitted on the Terminal Link or Gate Link trains.

### What is Flybrary at MCO, and is it a play area?

Flybrary is MCO's one dedicated children's space, and the airport is careful about what it is: a playful library and reading nook, described as perfect for story time, located in Terminal C on Level 2 near Gate 240, past the single Terminal C checkpoint. It is not a play structure — there is nowhere to climb, and MCO's own amenity matrix states directly that the airport has no children's play structure anywhere in the terminal. Flybrary works well for a calmer break during a connection, especially if you're trying to wind a child down before boarding, but it will not help burn off pent-up energy the way a climbing structure would. MCO publishes no fixed clock hours for Flybrary, only that it's open during regular Terminal C operations.

### Is MCO a good airport for families flying to Orlando's theme parks?

On documented feeding and changing facilities, MCO is one of the strongest airports in the country — 21 nursing rooms and 29 companion care restrooms, every single one with an adult changing table, spread across every terminal and even into the international arrivals hall. That depth genuinely matters for families arriving exhausted from a long flight before a theme park trip. Where MCO falls short is play: there's no climbing structure anywhere, only the Flybrary reading nook in Terminal C, and no family security lane beyond the bookable MCO Reserve slot. The airport's three-terminal layout is also worth planning around, since Terminal C requires clearing security again if you're connecting from A or B. For changing and feeding infrastructure, MCO is excellent; for entertaining an energetic toddler during a delay, it offers very little.
