Try the Wizard's brew! Take the Hogwarts Express! Eat at The Leaky Cauldron or The Three Broomsticks! Do The Escape from Gringotts ! It really was a dream come true to visit both parks .
The atmosphere is much better than Hogsmeade IMO. Take your time wandering through all the nooks and crannies! (And make sure to catch the dragon breathe fire ! He'll give a roar every 15 minutes)
If you're at Universal just for Harry Potter, buy a 1-day Park Hopper pass. You can do Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade in well under one day. Ride train both ways for full experience.
MUST SEE! Looks just like the movie . Definitely feels magical and is stunning. Butterbeer is OK but frozen butterbeer is to die for. Also when you hear growling look at the dragon for surprise
Best rides: Gringotts and Hagrids. Butterbeer is amazing. Get there early for Hagrids. The interactive wands are fun but if it's super busy the experience isn't as good.
One of the most amazing parts of the universal parks is the Wizarding world of harry potter. Great shops, some of the best rides and transport between parks . Don't miss it.
Universal really went all out with Diagon Alley....as an adult I was blown away. I can only imagine how impressed kids would be by it. Everything about it makes you feel like your in Harry Potter
Absolutely loved this part of the park . If you're a die hard HP fan take part in the interactive wand experience throughout Universal ! Don't forget the butterbeer ! Cheers ????
If you are a Harry Potter fan or not - you'll love it. This place is like a little hidden place . A village for itself. Magical place to discover unreal things. For old and young. Shops are packed.
If you are a big fan of Harry Potter like me then you must visit this place don't forget to see the fire breathe of the dragon.Lavender,ChocolateChili and AppleCrumble Ice creams are very delicious!!!
Diagon Alley is 10x bigger and better than Wizarding World of HP. Nocturne Alley is cool and the Dragon breathes real fire every hour!!
Really great new area. Love all the interactive wand goodies to find. The attention to detail is great. Don't miss seeing the dragon burp flames!
More crowded than Hogsmeade but also so much better. You can wander around it easily, doing big loops, and then take a break on the stairs beside Gringott and people watch . I miss it here so much.
Detail here is amazing, right down to the fire breathing dragon! Just be careful standing below the dragon if you use a lot of product in your hair, you can feel the heat from the dragon on the ground
Really fun ride, probably one of the most fun at the park . Universal has incredible scenery for you to look at while you wait for the ride.
I have so much to say about this place, I don't know where to start! Everything is so realistic! Including the train ! There's so many experiences Harry Potter had, that you can have here!
Definitely stop by Gringotts Money Exchange and interactive with the Goblin. While you're there exchange your Muggle for Gringotts Bank Notes!!
An interesting place for imagination and fun — don’t forget to try all the butter beer (frozen, regular, and hot). ????
From a Florean Fortesque's employee, Diagon Alley is by far the BEST and most rich part of UO. Earl Grey and Lavender , Chocolate Chili and Apple Crumble Ice cream . Yummmmm ♡
This is the most amazing place for Potterheads. It all literally comes to life. Make sure to go inside Gringotts and go on their ride, it's an amazing experience!
I love the details and the efforts in the buildings and the alleys????...dont miss the ice cream shop right around the corner they have the best butter beer soft ice cream ????
Amazing experience to behold. Many shops and an excellent ride in Gringotts . Recommend doing the tide first thing, then shopping.
Ride the Hogwarts Express both ways because they have different story lines . Also, go for the single rider lines !
SECRET-> go to grimaud place outside Diagon alley across the buss. knock door 3 times and look Kreacher peek the window of 2nd floor (knock firm and strong)
Listen for the rumbles of the dragon and make sure you have your camera ready. That's the best way to get the signature fire shot.
Absolutely amazing! Worth the visit and the crowds. Spend lots of time here look in every window. Notice every detail.
From the moment I entered through the hidden entrance , I was blown away by the attention to detail and the immersive experience. here I recommend the best transportation https://macksride.com/
I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, but this is truly an amazing place... So many interesting areas to explore
Simply stunning and realistic! Must ride Escape from Gringotts . A truly amazing ride! Diagon Alley is fun for all ages! A once in a lifetime experience.
Amazing!!! The train that it takes you to the other park is incredible and I'm not fan of Harry Potter.
Details are amazing and the ride makes you want to go back (that's what we did, 2 times in one day)
Living the dream! Was a great surprise, even better than Hogwarts on Island ! Don't miss the gringotts ride, and pls look the stores!
Feels like you are in the middle of movie , and very realistic setup. Food, drink, souvenirs are available. Magic wands are expensive .
One can get a real feeling of living in a Harry Potters world. Loved the place, amazing feeling it was.
Get in line for the wand demonstration after you get off the the bank ride, if your lucky the dragon will breath fire from the top of the bank while in line .
Diagon Alley boasts a number of shops dedicated to giving guests the feeling of being part of the Wizarding World. Afterwards check out Escape from Gringott 's and the Hogwarts Express.
I loved everything it was so fun it felt like it was so real magical I would love to go back again again and again
Extremely detailed and amazing to look at and walk around in. Way too busy right now since its new. Go as early as possible.
Amazing design and layout! Don't forget to check out Knockturn Alley for the darker side of magic!
We preferred the Diagon Alley park , especially Knockturn Alley. Less rides but more magic. Don't forget an interactive wand , expensive but made my kids visit
If you only can pick one of the HP experiences, choose this one. Leaky Cauldron is great for lunch . Recommend the Fish & Chips .
Amazing design, feels like you are in the movie set. Try Butterbeer , pastries and pumpkin juice
My main reason to wander in here is for chocolate chili icecream and a beer - and maybe a trip to gringotts ????
Wait for the dragon (above the bank ) to breathe fire ???? at dusk. You'll hear roaring and then the sound of gas and ignition! Keep your camera ready... and FYI it won't happen if it's too windy.
This place is awesome. Make sure you get the park hopper. It's a must if you want to take the Hogwarts Express.
Absolutely Incredible! You could spend all day just exploring Diagon Alley! Don't pass up the Butterbeer ice cream !
Butterbeer is amazing. I prefer regular. Many people love Frozen Butterbeer . Also try the ice cream parlor .
Experiencing Diagon Alley was almost a justification for the park admission fee in itself. Truly world class !
Great but avoid the wand choosing the wizard exhibition , they use some serious pressure selling if your child gets chosen. Really didn't expect such low tactics!
If you're a Harry Potter fan, this is a must! It's like being there... except with a lot of tourists .
Came at 8:00 today, wait was 75 mins. Amazing ride, worth the wait and the attention to detail, the goblins look so real. The best overall ride experience in universal. - Shankar Krishnan
Stunning walk to the train station. The AC alone is worth going haha it feels amazing. The design is spectacular and I actually thought it was a real life train station to another destination ???? - Abbey Sandoval
The Guiness Stew is delicious! It comes with a salad too! - Mindy Goergen
Cool ride but about the same as Spider-Man. Some effects a little more intense which was good. Definitely use single rider line to save time. On and off under 30 minutes! - Kym Reid Deerman
Everything is incredible, everybody works with passion and makes the experience awesome! - Bia Spark
This was a lot of fun, be prepared for a lot of spinning and shooting lasers. Kind of difficult to aim - Northern Penguin
Such a detailed and cool park. Some great rides, and the Harry Potter area has such amazing theming. Some good places to eat on site too. - Ross Burnett
Amazing ride right to the end! Ask to wait for the first row! - Paul H.
