Universal Studios – Orlando Florida

Ways to save on tickets to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure & Volcano Bay

If you are looking to visit the Universal Studios theme park in Florida, you will also want to determine if you want to go to the Volcano Bay water park as well, as this will determine what kind of tickets you will want to purchase. The waterpark is separate from the Universal Studios Theme Park, but looks pretty spectacular. It does sit right off of one of the main freeways in Orlando, so it’s easy access, but traffic can be an issue – and it was not quite the setting we were expecting for a tropical theme park (in the heart of city life).

Make sure to check out our post about what to expect at the Universal Studios in Orlando to decide which parks are best for you.
