What to expect at Islands of Adventure

1/5

Journey through eight cinematic landscapes

From braving the high-speed twists of Jurassic World VelociCoaster to flying into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, Islands of Adventure is where stories leap off the screen. Stroll through Marvel Super Hero Island, splash through Toon Lagoon, and step into ancient myths, comic books, and blockbusters—all in one park.

Meet your favorite characters

Watch heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America roll in for surprise meet-and-greets or catch the Frog Choir and Triwizard Spirit Rally in Hogsmeade™. The action isn’t limited to rides—keep your eyes open and watch stories unfold around you.

Catch seasonal surprises

During Halloween and the holidays, the park transforms—expect winter magic in Hogsmeade™, limited-time shows, festive decor, and costumed characters across the lands. Each season offers a fresh twist on your favorite experiences.

Refuel in themed style

Enjoy a multilayered Dagwood sandwich at Blondie’s, eat among dinosaurs at Thunder Falls Terrace, or grab an over-the-top dessert in Toon Lagoon. The food is immersive too, right down to the Butterbeer™ at The Three Broomsticks™.

Take home a piece of the story

Pick up your wand at Ollivanders™, shop for other magical supplies at Dervish and Banges, take home prehistoric plushies from the Dinostore™, or suit up like a superhero at the Comic Book Shop.

Discover 8 cinematic lands

Islands of Adventure is divided into eight themed islands, each inspired by some of the most iconic stories from literature, comics, and the big screen. Every land is crafted to pull you straight into the action—whether you’re dodging dinosaurs, dueling wizards, or laughing through a splashy cartoon.

Marvel Super Hero Island

Walk into the pages of a comic book. Feel the rush on The Incredible Hulk Coaster, join Spider-Man in a 3D chase through New York, and meet Marvel heroes roaming the streets on roaring bikes.

Toon Lagoon

Dive into classic cartoons—literally. This water-soaked land is home to Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls, and plenty of splash zones. Prepare to get drenched and laugh hard.

Skull Island: Reign of Kong

Hop on an expedition truck and journey into the heart of the jungle. You’ll face prehistoric predators and witness a jaw-dropping battle between King Kong and beasts that should be extinct.

Jurassic Park

Enter a lush island where dinosaurs still roam. Ride the intense Jurassic World VelociCoaster, sail through the River Adventure's iconic T. rex finale, and meet real raptors at the Raptor Encounter. Science meets survival in every corner.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Hogsmeade™

Wander through the wizarding village of Hogsmeade™—shop for wands, sip Butterbeer™, and enter Hogwarts™ castle for a spellbinding ride with Harry. Don’t miss Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™—a one-of-a-kind coaster through the Forbidden Forest.

The Lost Continent

Step into a world of ancient myths and legends. While it no longer has rides, this land still captivates with Poseidon’s Fury—a live-action walk-through attraction with fire, water effects, and ancient temple battles—and the cheeky Mystic Fountain, which talks back and squirts unsuspecting guests. Grab a bite of the Mediterranean-inspired food here.

Seuss Landing

Perfect for little adventurers, this colorful land brings Dr. Seuss’s imagination to life. Ride The Cat in the Hat, take a gentle spin on One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and capture your moments with beloved characters like the Lorax and Thing 1 & 2.

Port of Entry

Your starting point, designed like a bustling global marketplace. There are no rides here, but the immersive setting, world music, and whimsical details set the tone—plus it’s where you’ll find guest services, shopping, and some of the park’s best snacks.

It’s ideal for fans of cinematic storytelling and immersive shows.

Epic Universe

A short shuttle ride from Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe is Universal’s boldest new theme park.
