In Universal, there are so many opportunities for family fun, such as the Studios, Citywalk, and Islands of Adventure. In this post, I’ll be covering the Studios and Citywalk so that YOU can have the best adventure of a lifetime.
Rides
You can’t find rides in the Citywalk, but you can find the best thrill rides, such as RipRide Rockit, Transformers-The Ride 3D, Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, Revenge of the Mummy, The Simpsons Ride, Escape from Gringotts, and Men in Black, all in Studios. These rides are pretty intense and have high waiting times, so you MUST get the express pass. They include many twists, loops, and acceleration, so be careful!
Shows
There are so many do-not-miss shows to see in both areas such as The Bourne Stuntacular (A stunt show from a runaway so-called criminal.), Hollywood Make Up Show, (A comedy show about how complex makeup is done), Animal Actors (amazing trained animals with special skills), and the Citywalk has a Cinemark featuring everyone’s favorite Willy Wonka and Kung Fu Panda 4 + other popular movies.
Food
There are a lot of pizza diners, Panda express, and a lot more famous restaurants that will fuel you up for the next part of your adventure. Don’t miss out on dessert stations like Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt or the Coca- Cola Freestyle Refill Stations. With a Freestyle cut, you can refill different delicious drinks as many times as you want! The Citywalk is just a whole shopping and dining district, so if you can’t find anything to eat, walk around in the Citywalk!
Shopping
Don’t miss out on the Wizarding World of Diagon Alley shop area, where you can shop wands, supplies, and the train to Hogwarts, featuring a movie on the train to enjoy :). You also DON’T need a park ticket to get into the Citywalk, so you can shop gift shops, markets, and other stores!
Hotels
It’s a long day, and you need to get to your premium or value hotel. What better way to do it than an Italian style water taxi or bus ride?! The premium and value hotel are mostly the same, featuring cool amenities, but the premium hotel can get you exclusive passes to the express line, which you don’t want to miss. You can also transport your luggages from an premier hotel to a value hotel, and get your bought items shipped from store to hotel within 24h!
Mardi Gras Celebrations
From February-April, Universal is celebrating the Mardi Gras Festival, featuring concerts of famous singers like Ava Max and Zed, nightly parade floats and necklaces, and exclusive festival merchandise. This is a big event there, and you should not miss out on it!
There is so much to explore and enjoy in Universal that you should NEVER have a sullen face. Experience the food, festive emotions, and stunning shows here with your family and friends. This is really an experience of a lifetime.
