Universal Orlando Resort Holidays

Some of the best-loved movies of all time are vividly brought to life at Universal Orlando Resort's two enormous theme parks.

At Universal Orlando Resort, you’ll find a place where superheroes rule, wizards spin magic, and dinosaurs still wreak havoc. Adrenaline-spiking thrill rides are balanced with family-friendly moments in intricately themed and colourful lands like DreamWorks Land and Minion Land. For the littlest adventures, candy-coloured and zany Seuss Landing serves to delight, but The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM steals the show, bringing the much-loved movies to life in intricate detail in a masterpiece of storytelling.

For a total immersion into the fun, stay at one of the Universal Orlando Resort hotels—not only do they come with some extra perks, like early entry to The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM, but some even have queue-hopping privileges.
