DISCOVER UNIVERSAL DESTINATIONS
THREE DESTINATIONS. THREE VERY DIFFERENT WAYS TO PLAY.
A Universal vacation can mean an action-packed week in Orlando, a movie-filled Southern California getaway or a colorful first theme-park adventure designed especially for families with young children. Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Kids Resort each offer a completely different experience—and choosing the right one starts with understanding what makes each destination special.

WHICH UNIVERSAL DESTINATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Universal offers three very different vacation experiences. Whether you want a full theme-park getaway, a Hollywood experience that fits neatly into a Southern California trip or a park created with younger children in mind, we’ll help you choose the destination that makes sense for your family.
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FLORIDA
Movies, television and larger-than-life characters take center stage at Universal Studios Florida. Guests can explore immersive environments, experience attractions ranging from family-friendly fun to high-speed thrills and enjoy live entertainment throughout the park.
It is also home to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Diagon Alley™, where detailed shops, dining and attractions make it easy to forget that you are still in Orlando. We’ll help you decide what deserves priority and how to experience the park without spending the entire day zigzagging from one end to the other.
BEST FOR: MOVIE FANS, WIZARDING WORLD EXPERIENCES AND A MIX OF THRILLS AND ENTERTAINMENT
UNIVERSAL EPIC UNIVERSE
Epic Universe brings five imaginative worlds together in one enormous theme park. Guests enter through Celestial Park before discovering SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Dark Universe and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Ministry of Magic™.
Each world offers its own attractions, entertainment, dining and details worth slowing down to notice. With so much competing for your attention, a little strategy goes a long way. We’ll help you understand the park, choose your priorities and make the most of your day without treating the experience like an Olympic event.
BEST FOR: IMMERSIVE WORLDS, NEW EXPERIENCES AND TRAVELERS WHO WANT TO SEE WHAT’S NEXT

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT
A FULL VACATION DESTINATION WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERY KIND OF ADVENTURER
Universal Orlando Resort is much more than a quick stop between other Orlando attractions. With multiple theme parks, immersive lands, a water park, entertainment, dining and a growing collection of resort hotels, it can easily fill an entire vacation.
The biggest challenge is not finding something to do—it is deciding how to fit everything together. We’ll help you compare resorts and ticket options, determine how many park days you need and build a plan around the attractions and experiences that matter most to your travelers.
UNIVERSAL ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE
Islands of Adventure is where some of Universal Orlando’s biggest thrills meet imaginative lands designed for every age. Guests can encounter superheroes, dinosaurs, classic storybook characters and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Hogsmeade™ all within one park.
This is a destination where height requirements, attraction intensity and timing can make a real difference in your day. We’ll help you build a plan that balances the headline attractions with experiences the entire family can enjoy.
BEST FOR: THRILL SEEKERS, HARRY POTTER FANS AND FAMILIES WITH OLDER CHILDREN
UNIVERSAL VOLCANO BAY
Volcano Bay combines the relaxation of a tropical resort with the excitement of a full water theme park. Travelers can float along winding rivers, unwind on the beach, play in family areas or tackle slides and raft rides built for considerably braver people.
It is a great addition to a longer Universal Orlando vacation, especially when your family needs a break between traditional park days. We’ll help you decide whether Volcano Bay fits your trip and how to include it in your ticket and resort plans.
BEST FOR: WATER-LOVING FAMILIES, A MID-VACATION RESET AND WARM-WEATHER FUN

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD
A WORKING MOVIE STUDIO AND THEME PARK IN ONE VERY HOLLYWOOD DAY
Universal Studios Hollywood offers something no other Universal destination can duplicate: a theme park built alongside a working movie and television studio. Guests can experience immersive lands, attractions and entertainment, then go behind the scenes to see where familiar productions have been—and continue to be—created.
The park is more compact than Universal Orlando, making it a natural addition to a larger Southern California vacation. We’ll help you choose the right tickets, determine how much time to allow and combine your Universal visit with the other experiences on your itinerary.
THE WORLD-FAMOUS STUDIO TOUR
The Studio Tour takes guests through areas of a real movie and television studio, offering a closer look at working sets, familiar locations and special-effects experiences along the way.
Because the tour is part behind-the-scenes experience and part attraction, it gives Hollywood an identity that cannot simply be recreated at another Universal park.
IMMERSIVE WORLDS AND BIG ATTRACTIONS
Guests can step into SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, explore The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and experience attractions inspired by some of the biggest names in entertainment.
The park combines detailed environments with family attractions, character encounters and bigger thrills, so we’ll help you identify the experiences that match your travelers before you arrive.
PART OF A BIGGER CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE
Universal Studios Hollywood can be the main event or one memorable piece of a larger Southern California vacation. Its location makes it possible to combine the park with Hollywood, Los Angeles, nearby beaches and other regional experiences.
We’ll help you decide where to stay and how Universal fits into the rest of the trip—because Southern California traffic should not be the part of your vacation that receives the most planning attention.
