Universal Studios

Universal Orlando is an exciting destination comprising of 2 of the worlds most amazing theme parks as well as a lively entertainment centre know as Universal City Walk. City Walk encompasses lively bars, restaurants, a multi-screen cinema and lots of shops and is particularly buzzing at night.

The two theme parks sit side by side and if you buy a flexible ticket you can move freely between the two.

The original park is Universal Studios, the only place on earth where you can ride your favourite movies. There are 40 unforgettable rides, shows and attractions. One of the most popular shows is Terminator 2 3D. Sit down, put on your 3D glasses and enjoy the spectacular action. Men in Black Alien Attack is an interactive ride. Take your place in a car and shoot at the extra terrestrials to save the world. A gentle ride for all the family is E.T., hop on a bike and ride high over the city with ET in your basket to help him save his planet. Last but not least amongst our favourites is Jaws. This 6 minute ride will leave you gasping as your tour guide steers your boat through a series of explosions and attacks from the famous great white shark.

There are too many attractions to mention but all are equally as exciting, exhilarating and surprising.

The newest of the parks is Universal Islands of Adventure, featuring the world’s most cutting edge rides, attractions and interactive shows.

The Incredible Hulk ride is the first thing you will see as you enter the park, looming large and green high above you. The ride launches you to 40 mph in 2 seconds and immediately takes you straight into an inversion 100ft high and it just keeps getting better. The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man is a thrilling combination of 3D and a motion simulator. The special effects will amaze you. Jurassic Park River Adventure is one of three excellent water rides, all guaranteed to get your very wet. All a different type of ride but all a laugh from start to finish.

Younger children have their own area of the park called Seuss Landing. A variety of rides and playgrounds feature the characters of the Dr Suess books, and this area alone will keep your kids entertained for hours.

Both parks have many places to eat, drink and shop to complete a truly memorable visit.
