Why Buy Your Tickets In Advance?

The main benefit of buying your park tickets in advance is that you save money on the gate price.

You also know exactly how much you've spent ahead of time, instead of trying to guess the gate price in advance.

It also reduces the stress of the day, by knowing you already have your tickets secure.

Plus you'll be skipping the large entrance lines queuing for on-the-day tickets. The joy on your children’s faces as they race to their favourite rides without delay is priceless.

Our official Park Explorer discount tickets provide unlimited admission to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay for 14 days straight at very competitive prices, so you can return as many times as you like during that period to ride your favorite rollercoaster again and again. It's a cheap way to visit all three parks for the full duration of your holiday.

There are certain rides that you can only experience if you visit Universal Orlando, such as the Hulk or Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. You can also ride the Hogwarts Express between the two parks for free. Volcano Bay has some epic water rides, like Krakatau Aqua Coaster, Ko’okiri Body Plunge, and Kala & Tai Nui Serpentine Body Slides.

Epic Universe: A New Standard for Immersive Theme Parks

Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe, opening on May 22, 2025, marks a major expansion, adding 750 acres and doubling the size of the resort’s Orlando presence. Designed to fully engage and transport families into varied, story-driven worlds, it represents a groundbreaking development in theme park design. Knowing how to navigate and make the most of this ambitious addition is essential for families seeking an immersive vacation experience.

• Isolated Themed Zones for Greater Engagement: By keeping each area distinct and separate, Epic Universe maximizes the immersive potential of every space. Whether stepping into the supernatural atmosphere of Dark Universe or the lively scenes of Super Nintendo World, the clear boundaries and specific theming techniques ensure that guests feel completely transported into the storyline without distraction.

• Attractions Designed for Immersive Storytelling: The attractions, like “Battle at the Ministry” in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and “Hiccup’s Wing Gliders” in the Isle of Berk, use advanced motion technology, integrating augmented reality and dynamic ride systems. This technology immerses visitors as active participants, not mere observers, heightening their sense of involvement and deepening the emotional impact of each experience.

FAQs

Can all the parks be done in a day?

Realistically if you're trying to do all Universal parks in one day, you will have to start early / finish late, and still likely won't experience all of what they have to offer (even with fast passes). It is much better to try and dedicate one day to each park, giving you plenty of time to enjoy yourself.

How far is Universal Orlando Resort™ from Disney World?

Universal Orlando Resort™ is 15 minute drive from Disney World, not including the time it takes you to park.

Which Universal Orlando Park is Best?

Each of the parks at Universal Orlando is very different, and so which is best is going to depend on what you like:

1. Universal's Islands of Adventure™ - best for thrill seekers who love rollercoasters.
2. Universal Studios™ - best for immersive rides and attractions from your favourite movies.
3. Volcano Bay  - best for outdoor excitement for those who love water sliders.
4. Epic Universe - opening 2025, we haven't experienced this yet, but based on the news about the park, it's going to be a great all-rounder with attractions for everyone.
