What Is Universal Islands of Adventure?
Universal Islands of Adventure is one of four parks at Universal Orlando Resort, sitting right next door to Universal Studios Florida. The park is divided into islands, each with its own unique character, atmosphere and thrills — from the enchanted village of Hogsmeade™ to the prehistoric jungles of Jurassic World, where you can race alongside Velociraptors on Jurassic World VelociCoaster!
At its heart, this park is built around the idea of stepping inside the stories you love. The theming is extraordinary, the rides are world-class and whether you're visiting with thrill-seekers or little ones, every island has something to offer.
