  • Great park and a great alternative to Disney. Last time I went, the Harry Potter and Simpsons area did not exist, so this was a great first time experience. Food and drink options were okay. I missed a lot of the old school rides and 3D experiences that have now gone. Parts of the old San Francisco and New York area felt a bit abandoned, which is a shame. Looking forward to the new Dreamworks areas opening. The Mummy is a classic ride that you must go on!

  • The park to go to if you want a day of rides and rollercoasters. The park isn’t huge so you can spend all day and go on as many rides as possible. The velociraptor coaster, Hagrid’s run and the Hulk are my top 3 rides of all time. Food and drink is a bit ‘theme park standard’ with options mainly being burgers, pizzas and chicken. The Harry Potter area provides a bit of variety.

  • Great water park with a mix of big slides/coasters, mid attractions and places to relax. It was super busy the day we visited and finding somewhere to sit and set up for the day took ages. If you want a good spot on ‘the main beach’, get there for opening! The Tapi Tapi watches + virtual queueing are a great idea.

    Trusted Customer reviewed Universal's Volcano Bay Water Theme Park 08 May, 2024

  • Great park. We stayed at a universal hotel to get Express Passes for two days, which was a real bonus. Would love to have option of buying a good price on tickets for less days than 14!

    Michelle Myers reviewed Universals Islands of Adventure 08 May, 2024

  • Great park. Would just be good to be able to pick up tickets for fewer days that are a good price, as with the 14 day ticket you don't get good value if you wish to visit other attractions in Orlando

  • Great ticket worked well as ready to use and no need to go anywhere to activate

    Julie Porter reviewed Universals Islands of Adventure 08 May, 2024

  • Not as much to do as islands of adventure particularly if you like the ‘bigger’ coasters but traditional fun and excellent entertainment and easy to move from there to islands
