Must-see
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The Wizarding World now spans all three parks. A true pilgrimage for fans — and one of the main reasons to choose Universal.
Diagon Alley — Universal Studios Florida Hogsmeade — Islands of Adventure Ministry of Magic — Epic Universe
The Hogwarts Express connects Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade: a Park-to-Park ticket is required to ride it and experience the full journey between the two original parks.
No park ticket needed
CityWalk — dining, shows, and nightlife
At the entrance to the parks, CityWalk is Universal Orlando's entertainment district, accessible without a park ticket. Themed restaurants, bars, a movie theater, mini-golf, and evening shows: the perfect place to extend your day.
A highlight for foodies: the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, a steampunk restaurant as spectacular on the plate as it is in its decor.
