Islands of Adventure Tips

 

Back to Islands of Adventure

 

There are different areas in the multi-storey car park, make a note of which one you're in.

If you have kids, head for Seuss Landing when you first enter the park. Or go to Jurassic Park or the Lost Continent first. Most people head straight for the Hulk coaster & The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man first, and then go clockwise around the park.

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is one of the most popular rides in the park, so if you really want to see it, go when the park first opens, or late in the day.

Pteranodon Flyers doesn't hold may people at a time, therefore, the queue can get quite long. If this is one ride you really want to do, then visit early on.

Save the indoor shows for the afternoon when it gets hot.

Take dry clothes & socks with you in case you get wet on the rides (which you probably will!).

Don't do the water rides in the evening, you'll end up soaked and with no sun to dry you out you'll have a wet journey back to your hotel!

Rides suitable for small kids - Caro-Seuss-El, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, If I Ran The Zoo, Me Ship, The Olive, Pandemonium Cartoon Circus, Camp Jurassic, Triceratops Encounter

Baby Swap is available on some rides like it is at WDW - one parent can go on the ride, while the other stays with the baby/child. They then swap over & the other parent rides without queuing again.

If you have a disability or medical condition which prevents you from riding certain rides, you can get a small discount on your admission to IOA. Just ask for the medical discount when you buy your ticket.

Take advantage of single rider lines where available.

If you're short on time, or visiting on a busy day, consider getting the Universal Express Plus pass.

Smoking is only permitted in designated areas, see the park map for details.

See the attraction and show times guide for when and where you can meet your favourite characters.

Certain attractions only open an hour or two after park opening, so be sure to check the attraction and show times guide when you arrive.

Someone missing from your photo? Stop and ask any Universal employee to take your picture for you!

Purchase a selected souvenir cup at various food locations and receive $1.25 refills all day.

Select food locations may have 'Happy Hours', check the attractions and times guide for details.

"islands of adventure - if you get there for when it opens start going around the park in an anti clockwise direction as every one tends to go clockwise towards hulk the other direction is much quieter!" vicky
