Universal Studio Florida - Fun & Adventure in Orlando!

Universal Studio Florida - where your dreams come alive!

Universal Studio Florida is set in the heart of Orlando and Disney. It is an amazing adventure of fun, food, and rides that we will take you through in this section.

At Universal Studios you get to be the star and break into the movies as there is no place like it anywhere.

Noted as the most unique theme park in Orlando, Universal Studio Florida offers an array of rides, shows, and attractions that is great for all ages.

The perfect Florida family vacation, Universal Studios allows for you to be a kid with your kids and enjoy the attractions instead of just sitting back and watching them.

So, let's take a journey through this area and see what Universal Studios has for attractions, hotels, and nearby excitement!

Here is our list of the ultimate attractions in one of the best Florida theme parks that kids, teens, and adults are sure to love...

    Just when you thought it was safe!


  • The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. A 3-D ride that others say is the top attraction in Universal Studio Florida.

  • The hilarious Shrek 4-DTM and Jimmy Neutron’s Blast. You'll all be laughing histarically when you leave these two rides. The kids loved them!
  • Water rides are also available when the sun gets a bit too hot. Those include, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges provide lots of fun and water to cool you off.

  • Fear Factor Live stunt show offers some pretty cool action-packed thrills.

  • The oldies are always goodies - King Kong, Jaws, and Twister will never get old.

  • You can also enjoy excellent food, drink, and other arcade/carnival type games to test your skills when taking a break from the big rides and Florida attractions.

  • And for kids or parents not quite ready for the big-scale coasters (i.e. Incredible Hulk Coaster or The Flying Unicorn Coaster) there are great roller-coasters on a smaller scale.
  • Travel TipTraveler tip: Be sure you get your discount tickets at reputable sources. Watch out for street vendors! Click here for our trusted source if you want to save hundreds/thousands while in Orlando- tell them Joe sent you.

    A few that come to mind that you won't be disappointed in and some that offer an all inclusive Florida vacation include...

    1. Hard Rock Hotel - highly recommended by us!
    2. Portofino Bay - experience the "sweet life" at this amazing hotel.

    4. Royal Pacific - a AAA four diamond award winning hotel!

    Additional fun around Universal Studio Florida includes places like Islands of Adventure (located on 5 islands, you are sure to feel the adventure) or Wet n Wild (Orlando's most exciting waterpark). These two theme parks are great options when you are worn out from Universal Studios theme park.

    You can also venture around City Walk! Everyone will love this place and it's where we spent the majority of our time when not at the theme parks.

    It is an all-inclusive entertainment arena that will have your head spinning and bellies full.

    CityWalk offers a variety of themed restaurants, like the NASCAR Cafe, NBA City, Wolfgang Puck Cafe, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and the world’s largest Hard Rock Cafe.
