Whether it’s Fast and Furious, Transformers, Shrek or Despicable Me, Universal Studios Florida offers something for the whole family.
Universal’s Islands of Adventure was named the number one Amusement Park in the World 2019 by TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award, and it’s no surprise why. This theme park has something for kids of all ages. See superheroes battle in the streets, enjoy storybooks brought to life and experience close encounters with a dinosaur. Iif you love the thrill of a real roller-coaster, The Incredible Hulk Coaster accelerates to 108 km/h and flips through seven exciting inversions.

From Spiderman to Jurassic Park and everything in between, this is one park not to be missed.
Thanks to the power of TapuTapu™, a waterproof wearable, at Volcano Bay™ there’s no standing in long lines, no carrying rafts around the park – nothing between you and a full day of fun.
