Located in Orlando, Florida, Universal Orlando Resort opened on June 7, 1990 as the theme park Universal Studios Florida.

Over the years it has evolved into a vacation destination with two major theme parks, a water park, an entertainment district, and a variety of hotels.
Theme Parks
Universal Studios Florida
This park offers cutting-edge attractions and experiences. Universal Studios allows you to immerse yourself in popular movies and television shows.

You can become a minion, race through New York City with Jimmy Fallon or visit Springfield and enjoy a giant pink donut with your favorite Simpson characters.

Universal Studios Florida is home to Diagon Alley. While you are in Diagon Alley you can dine at the Leaky Cauldron, choose a wand at Ollivanders, Escape from Gringotts, and take a ride on Hogwarts Express from King’s Cross Station.
Islands of Adventure
On your visit to Islands of Adventures, you’ll find Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, Marvel Super Hero Island, The Lost Continent, Seuss Landing, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

While in Hogsmeade, you can eat at Three Broomsticks, fly with Hagrid on Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and soar above the castle ground with Harry Potter on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

Water Park
Volcano Bay

Volcano Bay is Universal Orlando Resorts’ newest waterpark. The water is heated to 85 degrees on a daily basis and features many attractions for all ages and levels of thrills. Volcano Bay is the home of TapuTapu.
TapuTapu is a waterproof wearable device that holds your place in a virtual line, one attraction at a time. This allows for more time to enjoy the park. Volcano Bay also has a number of private cabanas to rent with concierge services offered throughout the day.
Entertainment District
Universal CityWalk Orlando
CityWalk is Universal’s entertainment district. It features restaurants, bars, shopping, movies, mini golf, and shows.
