From the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Universal’s Epic Universe, Universal theme park vacations pack in thrill rides, immersive lands and character experiences for families and Harry Potter fans of every age.
Choosing Your Universal Destination
Universal Orlando Resort (Florida)
Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay and the new Epic Universe make Universal Orlando a multi-day destination in its own right, with two Wizarding World lands connected by the Hogwarts Express.
Universal Studios Hollywood (California)
A single-park experience built around behind-the-scenes studio attractions, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and rides based on major film franchises — an easy add-on to a Southern California trip.
Planning Your Universal Trip
Universal’s on-site hotels come with real perks — early park admission and, at select hotels, unlimited Express Pass access — which can meaningfully change how you plan park days, especially during busy seasons.
