If you’re looking for screams, thrills and a lot of ups-and-downs, make sure you visit Universal’s Islands of Adventure. This theme park is home to all kinds of amazing rides. Some will drench you. Some will mess up your hair. Some will make your head spin. And every single one will make you want to do it all again.

Universal’s Islands of Adventure dares you to explore new realities on every amazing island. In Jurassic Park™ you can come face-to-face with fierce dinosaurs, tackle terrifying water rides and enter the ominous ‘Restricted Area’. Or, if superheroes are more your thing, why not meet Spider-Man or zoom along The Incredible Hulk Coaster?

And, we have to admit, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™ is one of our favourite rides ever. We’d love to tell you what happens, but we don’t want to spoil the fun – we’ll just say that you don’t want to miss it. Make sure you also spend some time exploring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Hogsmeade ™ and soar over Hogwarts™ on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™.

Feel the rush of the hunt as you race through the jungle alongside Velociraptors. It’s the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, now open at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Universal’s Volcano Bay is actually a water theme park, so it’s the perfect place for water babies and big kids. As the name suggests, the centrepiece of the park is a huge volcano and, like all volcanoes, it has a range of heart-racing water slides. You can expect to see glittering waterfalls during the day and fiery lava effects at night.

If you fancy some time out from adrenaline-pumping rides, this place has got you covered. Families can chill out on the beach in Wave Village, while little ones will love splash are in the River Village. Or you could simply hire a cabana and relax, sipping a cocktail and watching the world go by.

During the Autumn and winter season, Universal Volcano Bay is closed on select dates. Guests should check here for updates: https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/gb/terms-of-service/park-hours

Whether it’s day or night, this place is the epicentre of awesome. Universal CityWalk is home to some of the some of the best dining and entertainment in the whole of Orlando. Whatever you have a craving for, you’ll find it here. Even if you’re travelling with fussy little eaters, you’re sure to find something that will satisfy everyone in the family.

Take your pick from rich Italian dishes and fiery Mexican cuisine, or juicy meats straight off the grill. Sports fan? Not a problem – in CityWalk, you can enjoy a cold beer and catch all the games on the big screen. There’s plenty more to do here, too.

The best way to experience a destination is to stay right in the heart of the action. Put simply, only guests staying at Universal Orlando’s hotels get more ride time, more free time and more family time.

When you stay at one of these hotels, you’ll have an extra hour in the parks every morning, before everyone else arrives. Some hotels are so close you can walk right into the parks, but the free water taxis and shuttles also make it very easy to hop, skip and jump straight into your day – and back to your hotel, afterwards. At some hotels, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the Free Universal Express Unlimited** Access, which allows you to skip the queues at some of the most popular attractions.

The cherry on the cake? Universal Orlando’s hotels feature character appearances, family-dinner shows, resort-wide charging privileges, mouth-watering restaurants, and so much more. Speak to our experts to help choose the best place to stay.
