Universal Islands of Adventure

Save time and money before you arrive by purchasing authorized discount tickets to top theme parks and attractions from Visit Orlando powered by BestofOrlando.com.

Skip the lines at most of your favorite rides and attractions and fit more fun into your day by adding Universal Express Pass access to your theme park admission. (Separate theme park admission is required.)

Keep things simple and portable, especially when traveling with kids. The last thing you want to do is juggle personal items around and feel weighed down. Streamline your necessities for a smoother day.

Bring water, buy water or ask for free water and ice in a cup at any of the quick-service restaurants and eateries for your family. With all the excitement, someone might forget to stay adequately hydrated.

It’s best to steer your kids away from experiences where you know they won’t meet the height requirements, even if it’s just half an inch. Safety comes first, and team members won’t budge on height requirements.

This is Florida. Chances are it might rain, and you can’t use umbrellas on rides, so be sure to pack ponchos for your whole crew. Buying ahead of time at a local big box store will save you money.

It’s smart to make time for breaks to avoid exhaustion or meltdowns. Everyone will feel refreshed by heading back to the hotel for an afternoon nap or cool dip in the pool.

Let a team member know about your need to ride switch to accommodate small children or guests with special needs. One guest will wait at a designated area with the non-rider while a second guest rides. The riders then switch.
