Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida, USA

Dec 7, 2022 | Theme Park, USA: Florida

Universal Studios is a theme park primarily themed to movies, television, and other aspects of the entertainment industry.  Universal’s Islands of Adventure is a separate theme park next to Universal Studios as part of an expansion.

Universal Orlando Resort Parking: 6300 Hollywood Way, Orlando, Florida, USA

Universal Studio Orlando and Universal’s Islands of Adventure are two separate theme parks next to each other.  Both parks share the same parking lot.  Since they are next to each other, you can walk from one park to another park or take the Harry Potter themed train.  It requires a separate ticket to enter each park, but they also sell the park-to-park ticket for entrance to both parks on the same day.

The parking lot is on Universal City Walk – below photo is the city walk.
