Universal Orlando Resort

Advertisement

You’re in Orlando and you want to make the most of your vacation. That’s where Universal Orlando Resort comes in. There’s a whole universe for you to explore with three theme parks—Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park—plus the Universal CityWalk dining and entertainment complex. Here, you can free yourself to be yourself.

Universal Studios Florida

Your favorite TV shows and movies are about to get real fast. Save the Earth with the TRANSFORMERS Autobots and defeat the villainous Decepticons. Join Illumination's Gru, his daughters and the mischievous Minions on an unpredictable journey. Follow in Harry Potter's footsteps in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - Diagon Alley™ , where you'll find many of the wizarding world's most famous establishments. There’s even a fire-breathing dragon atop Gringotts™ bank. Universal Studios is way beyond the movies.

Mardi Gras 2021: International Flavors of Carnaval

Daily from February 6 - March 28, 2021 It’s Mardi Gras served up a whole new way. This year’s event is a global food fest with cuisine inspired by Carnaval celebrations from around the world. Enjoy street entertainment, roving musicians, floats on display and more.

Universal’s Islands of Adventure

It’s time to alternate your reality and turn things upside down (literally). Come face to face with dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Swing above the streets with Spider-Man. You can also explore The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Hogsmeade™ where you can fly beyond the grounds of Hogwarts™ castle and join Hagrid™ on a thrilling adventure deep into the wilds of the Forbidden Forest. Here, every island is a new reality.

Universal’s Volcano Bay Water Theme Park

Whether you’re the floaty relaxation type or fall-so-fast-you-got-water-up-your-nose type, it’s all here. There’s even a volcano in the middle of the park (hence, the name) with tons of water slides and stunning waterfalls. And if you’re in the mood for chill things, there’s a winding river, a wave pool and even a picturesque beach so you can feel the sand between your toes. Remember, it’s a South Seas oasis (and nothing says oasis like a volcano).

Universal CityWalk

If you want to grab a bite, go shopping or catch some entertainment, head to CityWalk, right outside the theme parks.

There are all kinds of restaurants from casual to upscale. At Bigfire, you can enjoy American fare like steaks and freshwater cuisine flavored with smoky goodness from open fire cooking over different kinds of wood. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ll love The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, featuring an all-day brunch, unique desserts and artisanal milkshakes. Speaking of desserts, check out Voodoo Doughnut’s delicious and delightfully weird pastries including the Dirt Doughnut and Bacon Maple Bar® .

When you’ve had your fill of all the awesome eats, check out CityWalk’s live shows, miniature golf and 20-screen cineplex.
