Been an Annual Pass Holder for Universal for almost 4 years and I haven't gotten bored yet. The Universal theme parks have the best rides in Florida, the staff is incredible, resorts are amazing.

Matthias

Fantastic rides and attractions in both parks ! If you prefer rides, do the "Islands of adventures" and if you want to take pictures with movie heroes, Universal is slightly better... ????

Julius

It seems like Harry Potter is the main attraction here. Hard to argue! Diagon Alley is a site to see. Be sure to capture the Dragon from Gringotts spit fire. You get a better photo of it at night ????

Travisimo!

Universal knows how to do it right... Arguably even better than Disney in some respects. Theming is superb and Diagon Alley is a sight to behold. The fire breathing dragon NEVER gets old.

Ross Burnett

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.

Ashlee Webster

Despite what they say on the labels: $.99 Refillable drink cups (not Freestyle) are usable for as many days as you like. No one will give you a hard time about bringing them in or getting your refills

Ron A

If it is just two of you go for single rider. You save a lot and I most cases it is faster than fast pass. Besides once you are on the rise do you really pay attention who is sitting next to you.

Martin Lewison

A world class theme park resort . Don’t miss Harry Potter areas and rides (both parks & connect. train ), SpiderMan, Transformers, Minions, Jurassic Park , Simpson’s, & more. Great theming and rides.

Alexey Sankó

Again, a park that is so awesome and has so many things including the Harry Potter world, that you need a whole day to enjoy it to the fullest! Express Pass is totally worth it in winter and summer!

Tracy Morgan

You'll need to buy tickets to both parks if you want to see each Harry Potter park . It is worth every cent. You can even take the Hogwarts Express train between the two!

Jason Konen

This side of the park just got better with the addition of Diagon Alley. Well worth a day spent here. Be sure to pay tribute to Jaws, which was dismantled to make way for Harry Potter .

Noel Clarke

Awesome theme park . So much to do here. try and get here early and hit the main rides FIRST then eat. that way you can mostly chill after and hit the less popular ones with smaller lines .

Elysia Benn

One of my favourite theme parks in the World. The Diagon Alley section is out of this World!!!! Don't forget to try a donut from Lard Lad either, they;re delicious!

Chris Miles

Diagon Alley is brilliant. We spent an afternoon waving wands without even thinking about the rides. If you buy a wand it's worth paying a little more for an interactive one so you can do real magic.

Abbie Stevenson

Harry Potter World rocks my world. There’s a discount on the fast track express passes for rides after 4 pm that they don’t tell you about. $50 per park . Do that and skip the lines for all rides!

Abbey Sandoval

Overall fun and great views . Got the season pass but if you don’t live in area you do miss a lot of the festive things and what not. Diagon alley is a must for Harry Potter fans

Pink 386

Get a day pass if you can as there's plenty to see and do here. Diagon Alley and Hogmede is a must see especially if your a Harry Potter fan. Simpson section was good fun.Also recommend Hard Rock Cafe

Wyckd Linda

Most of the Quick Serve places are good. Get the dining plan (three dinners , three lunches and 5 bev/snacks) and the Fast Pass. They’re totally worth the price. *water taxi

Richard Revilla

If you love the movie you' ll love this theme park . Pay extra for the express pass to ride the movies .

Edwulf

Has lost some enchant, loosing some of the old "studios" feeling and moving towards a film theme park . Diagon alley should be your first stop, do not miss rollercoaster (you can pick your music !)

Jillian Hendrick

I have been 2 times and was very impressed both times. Diagon Alley was amazing and I loved the Transformers ride. So much fun and i can't wait go come back again!

Terence G

I went to universal for Halloween Horror Nights and both parks during the day in October of 2018! I can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t wait to go back!

Damira Dzhabrailova

Amazing hotels , very clean . Harry Potter world is amazing, the beer is just yummy. Everyone needs to try the turkey leg , it's delicious. Best roller coaster is The Hulk. Don't forget the fast pass!!!

Sean Norton

Loved mummy ride, hulk, popeye water ride got me soaked. Disaster ride was a disaster! Of course pricing was through the roof as expected. Decent selection of beers throughout the park . Good times

Justin Martin

Awesome. This does what Disney doesn’t. Dueling dragons, Harry Potter , Transformers, are my top rides. Terrific foods & worth multiple days to see everything. Go in the off season to avoid lines .

Marcelo Melo

My favorite park in Orlando! Tons of fun in rides for all ages! Enjoy Jimmy Fallon, The Mummy and The Rock It! Kill some aliens on The MIB and have fun with Krusty and the Simpsons Family! :D

Theodore Mayhall

Both Harry Potter sections located in the parks are the highlight of the resort in its entirety. Let's hope they do a solid job on Kong Island & Nintendo Land.

elle snider

Where to start? The rides are great! Diagon alley is utterly fantastic. City walk has nothing but excellent places to eat on it. Overall, the park has something for everyone.

Majed Alashari

Nice theme park with many rides for all ages & Amazing live street shows. Parking should be included in ticket.

Connor Stengel

This theme park offers MANY more rides and experience than it’s counterpart. The rides are great for everyone and they keep expanding.

Samuel Pepper

I could come back to this place every year. They have done an amazing job and keep building on top to improve. Fast pass is the way to go.

Steph Peacock

Definitely invest in Expess Pass. We were able to ride almost every ride in both parks in 2 full days. Family favorite rides were Gringotts & Mummy . Food was excellent in all areas.

Murat

A must visit place, with 2 parks and many different rides, shows, simulations, restaurants and live shows. Great choice for a family vacation.

Byron Jack

Express pass is cool on busy days. Rather buy the one day express pass per day rather then the both Park express pass . You won't be able to all the rides in both parks in one day.

Ghaida✨

You must visit this place when you're on Florida ???? it's magical. And you have to come early because it's closing around 7 pm.

Michael Miller

By far the premier park in Florida, and they treat their Passholders very well . The characters are abundant and so much for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Macksride Car Service

Universal Studios Florida exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked through the iconic arches, I felt like I was in a world of cinematic magic. must book your trip with www.macksride.com

Abby Anderson Jones

So much fun! Love each of the parks . Express pass makes the lines super easy to get through if you can swing it!

Hussa Al Hosani

The rides are awesome and i recommend for fast express as most of the rides has more than 40 min waiting.. Transformers and Mummy rides were the best.

Gil G ⚡

Better rides than Disney! The Hulk roller coaster is phenomenal! Be sure to empty your pockets before the ride. You’ll walk through a metal detector just for that ride.

Staci Stevens

Universal is so much fun and everyone is SO nice! Only negative is if you have someone in your party with a health condition that keeps them from riding they wont have much to do during the visit.

Jonesy

Just a fun place for everyone. City Walk is great for dates. Lots of restaurants and clubs!????????

Jason McIntyre

Fun place to ride your favorite movies and TV shows. New Jimmy Fallon ride and Fast and the Furious are great.

Osahon Tongo

If you go early from 8-11am there are pretty much no lines . The Harry Potter Dragon and Hulk are the best at Islands of Adventure and Mummy , Transformers and MiB are best at Universal !

The Infamous Sammie SPAD

get yourself a refill cup, they are coca cola freestyle and are good for all day, across all 3 universal parks ... you can even re-activate them for $7.99 for another days use!

Kilamon K'lmal

Don't hold up the line for the main Harry Potter castle ride just to take pictures. Once you've ridden, ask a student for the Castle Tour and take pics at your own pace in a special queue. Winning!

Jeremy

Get here when the park opens and you can ride everything TWICE (or more) by closing! No real need to leave the park since there are restaurants , clubs, shopping, movie theater , etc. on property.

Matt Mebert

Did the both parks in one day with the Xpress Pass with best friend. Worth every penny. Amazing experiences that suck you into the films . Transformers 3-D ride was better than any of Bay 's movies .

Daryana

You become a part of your favourite movies inside the parks , get a lot of emotions riding roller coasters and may try a lot if different kinds of food and entertainment

Jennifer Villanueva

Inverted priced food so if you plan to spend the day invest in the dining package. Also, unlimited drink cups are a great investment. Lockers for certain rides are free if under 1hour so convenient.
