Things to see & do	Universal CityWalk, Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Wet 'n Wild & Universal's Islands of Adventure

This is the second largest resort in Orlando after the Walt Disney World Resort, brought forward by a joint partnership between NBC Universal and The Blackstone Group. To date, it has two theme parks, an entertainment centre and three hotels. The resort was first opened to the public through its first theme park Universal Studios Florida in 1990. In 1999, they added more attractions as most knew today. There is much rivalry between this resort and Walt Disney World Resort and by far it has brought positive growth to Orlando in general.

Their first theme park, Universal Studios Florida is much loved by movie goers since the theme park provides visitors the opportunities to relive the movies as if they are there in the movie sets. Fans of movies such as Shrek, Men in Black, Revenge of the Mummy, Terminator, Jaws and Twister would definitely go nuts enjoying every bit of the real live attractions here!

Islands of Adventures meanwhile are dedicated to our childhood comic book and cartoon heroes. Those who loves Spiderman, Hulk, Jurassic Park, Storm (X-Men) or despises villains such as Magneto (X-Men) and Doctor Doom (Fantastic 4) would have great fun here. Their attractions are out of this world! Roller coasters, fancy and heart stopping rides, you name it, they got it!

Orlando can be quite hot during the day at times and the best way to cool oneself and have tonnes of fun at the same time here at Universal Orlando Resort is to take a big splash at their Wet ‘n Wild water theme park. They have a number of fun rides here good for children and adults. Great place of having fun in water!

Most locals would say that their best spot for having fun in Orlando would be Walt Disney World Resort but when it comes to night entertainment or dining, they would recommend Universal’s CityWalk! Visit the place yourself and soon you would find out why. The place is huge! At least 30 acres of it are dedicated towards providing every types of dining and entertainment experience that you could think of. The best time to come here is definitely in the evening. Hope you won’t mind the big crowd though.

So many things to see and do here but we would rank Universal Orlando Resort second behind Walt Disney World Resort. Such great place cannot be enjoyed and savoured in one day. We strongly recommend spending at least 3 days here so that you can comfortably see and enjoy everything there is about Universal Orlando Resort.
