Universal Parks

Universal's theme parks, now run under the Universal Destinations & Experiences name, combine rides and attractions based on film and entertainment franchises with resort hotels and water parks. Universal Orlando Resort includes Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay and Epic Universe, which opened in 2025, while Universal Studios Hollywood combines rides with a working studio tour. Universal-branded parks also operate in Japan, Singapore and Beijing. Themed areas such as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter are a major draw, and Universal Express offers shorter queues on many rides for an added cost. It suits families and teenagers who enjoy thrill rides and immersive themed lands. Plan for multi-day tickets, peak-season crowds, ride height requirements, and which on-site hotel perks apply.
