It was the easiest purchase we had in Orlando trip. We loved the experience we spent the whole day even though it was raining but we wanted to enjoy everything no matter what. We had a lot of fun and we will definitely be visiting the other two parks next year. The place was well organized and I was a bit worried about the weather but everything was accommodated perfectly and really everyone working there was super helpful.

Nice day despite the hot weather and crowd. Enjoy with family. Hulk rollercoaster was ok but velociraptor was amazing. Try to repeat but waiting time over 60 min. Food at the park is ok. Parking expensive but well organized

Our family had a great time at Universal. My bank flagged the purchase as the name headout. Com looked fraudulent to them. Luckily the charge went through the second time. Might want to a different name, like Universal junior for example. The wait times at the park were much better than they were at Disney, and the rides were great.

The mommy was really good as the Transformers. Really disappointed about ET. Really disappointed not being able to do Fast and Furious as well as it was closed the whole day

Everything!!! The queues were reasonable, the staff friendly, the shows were ace- horror show was so well acted out- they were brilliant. Loved the Bourne stuntacular- there was a tech hitch which meant we didn't see it all but we were given a fast pass to use for the inconvenience. A fabulous day out for a family of 6- boys ages are 18,17,14 and 10

Transformers ride was the best! We ride all the rides in the park except for the kiddie rides. Before leaving we went back to the transformers ride again.

We enjoyed the Park and many of the attractions very much. I strongly suggest considering something like Disney 's Lightning Pass. Also, I would have much preferred a printed map rather than the digital version you offer. Much more convenient plus its use doesn't use up the megas in the cell phone

Unfortunately I purchased 6 tickets but I was sick and was unable to go so lost out on that! But my kids and grandchildren loved it. My granddaughter is a huge Harry Potter fan and loved being "fitted" for her very own wand. They loved Universal! The only thing that hampered the day was the extreme heat.
