I am surprised how the park is a bit rundown and not kept up. Luckily we got free tickets, if I would have paid I would have been REALLY disappointed. This not the best place to bring kids 2-6, there are not a lot of rides for them but there are a lot of play areas. The Dr. Seuss land... more

Not a great as advertised. Long walk from the parking garage which costs $12. Expected more for the expensive tickets. Would not recommend. more

My husband and I both loved Island of Adventure, This park has the main thrill rides, roller coasters etc. At this time of year (September) there are hardly any lines but you do need to get there for 9am when the park opens. Start with the Hulk (roller coaster) then go to Spider Man and then on from there. I... more

Some of the rides were great but other things let the place down. I loved The Hulk, Spiderman, and Jurassic Park River Ride, but I didn't get to go on Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls because we got stuck in the queue while all the fast pass people had their fun and we couldn't stand there any longer, not good.... more

We stayed at the Portofini Hotel during our 7 day vacation. The parks never got old and we always had fun every day! We saw the Blue Man Group and hung out around the pool and Citywalk all night long, and did the parks during the day! I recommend staying on site at a hotel GREATLY. You get your room,... more

Just got back from our family trip to IOA. Needless to stay I won't be going back in a long time. First off the prices have gone up, even if your a Florida resident. And to top that off if you don't want to wait forever in a line in the hot August heat, you'd better buy an Express pass... more

Spent 2 days at Universal IOA and Universal Studios, but that was not enough time to experience these parks. Price for 7 days, 2 park was $90/person. Ticket was worth every cent. But prices of drinks was way high - $2.50/bottle for water. There were water fountains, but the water was hot. First time on coasters. Grrrreat. Rode the Hulk... more

Well, it is time for my yearly review of probably the Greatest Theme Park in America. I will start by saying I have visited the park over 30 times, usually at least 4-5 times per year. I still enjoy it as much as my first time back in 2003! I would like to start the same as some of the... more

Being a native Floridian I'm accustomed to the Orlando area and all there is to see and do. And when you are talking amusement parks, this place is top notch. You can walk from one "island" to another and be in a completely different world. It's great for kids and adults. It really caters to both. Also the food and... more
