Hollywood Drive-In Golf™
Travel to the heyday of 1950s shock cinema for a golf game that’s truly out of this world! Hollywood Drive-In Golf at Universal CityWalk invites you to giggle and scream your way through two larger-than-life mini-golf courses: “The Haunting of Ghostly Greens” and “Invaders From Planet Putt,” inspired by classic horror and sci-fi flicks, respectively.
Try both for an exciting double feature as you encounter monsters in a haunted house, aliens from a flying saucer … and even a 30-foot robot!
One-of-a-Kind Shopping Opportunities
Get in some retail therapy at Universal CityWalk’s lineup of unique shops, starting with mementos from your adventures and keepsakes of your favorite characters at Universal Studios Store. You can also buy clothing and gear for your inner wave-chaser at Quiet Flight® Surf Shop, or even get inked with a fresh design at Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company®. Minions tattoo, anyone?
Like Karaoke at CityWalk’s Rising Star
On evenings from Tuesday through Sunday, step into the shoes of a headliner and perform with a live band and backup singers at CityWalk’s Rising Star! You’ll feel like a chart-topping icon as you belt out your favorite songs while the crowd goes wild. (On Sunday and Monday evenings, recorded tracks fill in for the band.)
If you’re more interested in the show than the spotlight, the nightly rock-concert ambience will keep you entertained — as will the robust selection of cocktails and other adult beverages.
Out-of-This-World Desserts
Universal CityWalk has two venues where you can enjoy instantly Instagrammable desserts. First, Voodoo Doughnut adds a terrific twist to the sugary favorites. Between unusual flavors like Grape Ape, Voodoo Doll or Tangfastic Cake, gourmet takes on time-tested classics, and even vegan options, there’s a taste for every donut-lover.
Then, experience an age only dreamed of at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, a steampunk-influenced restaurant where gourmet desserts compete with awe-inspiring milkshakes to completely satisfy your sweet tooth. Plus, they have a robot!
Live Music
Anyone who loves live music is going to love Universal CityWalk. Catch a never-ending lineup of concerts at Hard Rock Live®, showcasing top names in rock, pop, country and more. Or, visit an authentic recreation of the King of Reggae’s house for tunes written and inspired by the namesake legend at Bob Marley — A Tribute to Freedom℠.
You can also get your groove on — literally — at the groove, or let your dance moves heat up the night at the tropical Red Coconut Club. Best of all, these and other Universal CityWalk nightlife options stay open until 2 a.m. so you can keep the party going late.
Complimentary Water Taxis
If you need a quiet escape from the excitement of Universal CityWalk, or just want to tour three of Universal Orlando Resort’s most luxurious hotels, take advantage of free, relaxing water taxi rides that run between the entertainment district and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando, Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando and Hard Rock Hotel® at Universal Orlando. Taxi services start about 30 minutes before Universal Orlando Resort’s theme parks open and continue till 2:30 a.m., all year long.
