Universal is awesome and a great place to visit for adults, families, or anyone. Islands of adventure has different themed “lands” including Dr. Seuss Landing (our favorite as can be seen in our photos), Mythical Land, Harry Potter, Jurassic World, Toon Lagoon, and a SuperHero land. All are great, but crowds generally swarm Harry Potter. Every time we go we can barely even walk around so we wish t...

This is the best amusement park for thrill rides I have every been to!! Park every thru the city walk was super quick and easy with our mobile passes. We went on a Friday afternoon in January and the park was crowded, but not miserable. That said lines without the fast pass were long, at least an hour, for every ride. I took my 18-21 year old kiddos and we all had a blast. The park was super clean...

Islands of Adventure is one of the most exciting theme parks in Orlando. The rides are intense, modern, and very well themed. Highlights include VelociCoaster, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and The Incredible Hulk, perfect for thrill seekers. The park areas are beautifully designed, especially Harry Potter and Marvel, with options for both adults and kids. Lines can get long on ...

*Highly recommend downloading Universal app, using the maps and seeing wait times and knowing how to plan your day was very important. Also, I’d recommend planning your day way ahead of time including what coasters you want to hit first and ranking them. (We ended up waiting in line for the Yoshi ride at Mario island for almost an hour and personally I don’t think it’s worth over a 30 minute wait ...

Excellent Park. Very organized. Great rides. Many bathrooms throughout the park. Always clean with plenty of paper and soap. The Velocicoaster and Hulk roller coats et are 10/10 scary. Harry Potter Village worth visiting. The rides, shops and atmosphère are awesome. The water ride Toon Lagoon is surprisingly scary. Bring a poncho!

When is the best time to visit Universal Islands of Adventure (Orlando, United States)?

Visit midweek outside major holidays for shorter lines. Carry a lightweight poncho for sudden summer rain showers.
