I had a great time with my daughter in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. It was hot, but we kept cool with water and inside rides. We had so much fun. Will come back soon.

Had the absolute best time! We went durring covid. Got on the rides less like 15minute. Not crowded at all. This is my 3rd going to universal and i feel like we lucked out going when we did. I will never experience it that way ever again.

The Harry Potter parts were PHENOMENAL. If you grew up with the books/movies, you're going to squeal with excitement. If you don't care about HP, you will probably be dragged to everything for HOURS with your fanatic partner.

If you're hoping for the most thrilling rides in the world, a lot of the 3D ones disappoint. Except for the Mummy ride. That one is oddly thrilling AND an experience. With that being said, the Velocicoaster is, by far, the best ride here. It's a TON of fun. The Harry Potter ones were also phenomenal. Everything else was fine and fun enough to experience once.

Overall, I loved the design of everything, the stories, and the experience. It was a great time! However, I feel like once is more than enough considering the hefty price you pay for entry.

Went on the VIP experience. Definitely the way to go when at universal, you get to all your rides so quick and the guide takes you the back way through all of them to get you on first. You tell him which places you're most interested in and he makes sure you guys visit all the stuff you're itching to get to. You skip all the lines and go straight to the front. It's great. You also get complimentary breakfast and lunch. Our tour guide was Jacob. He was great, he definitely cares about the guests having a great experience. There was a mishap with my mom and their cart thingy (she can't walk around so she needed to use their carts) someone tried to move her cart while we were inside having lunch and broke the cart. He had them deliver another one to us outside the restaurant 🙌🏽. Overall it was a great time. If you have the opportunity, definitely do the vip tour.

A great experience that you don’t want to miss! 1 is definitely not enough, I would say you need 3 to 4 days to see most of it. Queues tend to be very long for the rides and shows. It’s worth to buy the all day refill cups, you will need it! The transformers experience was the best in my opinion, and Harry Potter section is the most impressive of them all.

I went with my husband and had a wonderful time. I don't frequent theme parks very often, but had an amazing 2 days here. Every ride/rollercoaster was fun and not super dated (minus the E.T. ride, it was alright but super dated). Everything was usually nice and clean, and wait times were never unbearably bad even on busy days. The bus shuttles to and from the park ran super regularly. The best part of the park in my opinion were Simpsons land and anything on the island of adventure. My only real gripe was the metal detector security guy on our first day at the park. He was a little rude but I guess that just comes with the frequency of people you deal with. Overall? Extremely fun and leagues above what anything Disney has to offer in the summer of 2023.

Normal theme park experience. Parking was great no hassle. Food was great but they should offer packages to dine. (Maybe I didn't see them on website). I wouldn't bring small children to park, older kids maybe 8 or 9 and up. I'd revisit had an excellent time.

Universal is just great. In my opinion the main park (Universal Studios Florida) is 10x better than Islands of Adventure. This is just so much better with tons of stuff to do and a great experience. Islands is also great but this just destroys it in so many ways. Long wait lines, of course, but buying the fast express pass can help alleviate that. Came 9 years ago and now it is pretty much the same with some new rides such as Skull Island. It is extremely expensive (especially in peak Summer) and gets super hot, but it's fun. I really wish both Studios and Islands would add more seating, under shade, yes, but so many people just want to sit down to eat for 10 minutes! Food options could always improve but it is a theme park so yeah. But overall great. 5/5

A great, though expensive, theme park for the whole family. It the place where your child dreams come true and you can immerse in countless joys and fantasies. Good to spend a day with family or friends. Unforgettable memories and experiences for the little ones as well as a bit bigger ones. You won't regret it, unless you'll go on shopping spree there.

Great day! We only had tickets for the main park and still occupied all day. Definitely being money for food, and trinkets but they let you bring water bottles into the park to fill with water for free. Definitely download the app for wait time and many restaurants want you to mobile order ahead. As someone who is not a ride person (six flags=scary) I found all the rides enjoyable and there were many young kids who had fun! Wait lines are kind of entertaining, there is stuff to watch and look at so time passes faster!! The fast and furious ride was short and disappointing. Do not wait longer than 20 minutes for that ride or not worth it. Ride the mummy!!! The animal show is also definitely worth watching!

It was a fantastic experience to visit this park. The Diagon Alley is my favorite among the lot, fast and furious series’ rides , Harry Potter rides are thrilling. Usually the rides have big lines , but due to the rain the wait was very less. Usually on the weekends this park is packed with people, so weekday is preferable.

This place was seriously amazing! It felt like it was larger than life! You really need to go for more than one day to see everything. We went for one day and were exhausted from trying to see as much as we could! We were only able to go on a couple of rides because of the weather (it's also a bit of a wait, usually about 35-90 minutes in line), but I highly recommend the Harry Potter and Spider-Man rides! They were crazy cool! Oh, and the butter beer is awesome, too!!

this place is absolutely perfect for the family! it consists of both kid and family rides. there's plenty to do here and you won't get bored. however, it's best to arrive early in the morning because of how busy the park tends to get later in the day. there are also wait times listed on each ride so that you'll be able to see about how long you will be in line depending on that particular ride. food service was alright, but the food was delicious in general. the park itself is so lively and decorated which added a very nice touch to everything and id love to come back and visit. be sure to visit before it's the busiest season for visitors or you'll be stuck in the longest lines ever!
