11 Best Things to Do in Universal Orlando

The best things to do in Universal Orlando revolve around the 2 flagship amusement parks: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. These 2 parks are simply world-class and not to be missed. Families and younger ones should go for the original park first, while older children and teens will love Islands of Adventure. Regardless of age, movie buffs will simply love the whole Universal complex and its unique ability to bring the movies to life before your eyes.

Come for the magic and enjoy the butterbeer

추천: 가족, 단체

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter spans 2 parks at Universal Orlando Resort, each paying homage to the popular books and movies. Each offers a wonderfully immersive wizardly journey.

Begin your adventure in Diagon Alley just like Harry did. Get all your wizardry essentials and indulge in a generous helping of butterbeer-flavoured soft-serve ice cream.

5. ICON Orlando

추천: 커플, 가족, 사진

ICON Orlando is one of the city’s most famous landmarks, elevating passengers 400 feet (122 metres) into the sky for some awesome panoramic views over downtown Orlando and Central Florida beyond.

As part of your ticket, you can also enjoy a ‘pre-flight 4D Cinema Experience’, which basically points out all the places of interest around the Central Florida region that you’ll be seeing for real when you head up to the top. 더 보기
