The Parks

Universal Studios Florida centers on movie and TV-themed lands, Islands of Adventure blends comic book and fantasy theming, Epic Universe is the newest park with immersive themed worlds, and Volcano Bay is the resort’s tropical water park.

Where to Stay

Universal’s on-property hotels span Signature Collection, Prime Value and Value tiers, with the top-tier Signature Collection hotels including complimentary Express Unlimited access at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

Do You Need Multiple Days?

With four parks now in the mix, most visitors genuinely benefit from planning multiple days rather than trying to see everything on a single-park ticket.
