10 Experiences You Can Enjoy With Your Family at Universal Studios Florida
Sometimes a visit to the theme parks with kids of varying ages can be a tricky business but not at Universal Orlando. There are so many incredible activities that kids of all ages are sure to love.
With that in mind, we’ve rustled up a few of our favourites providing you with the ULTIMATE family fun day!
Have Breakfast at Voodoo Bakery
Voodoo Doughnuts is hands down one of our favorite places to stop for food while at Universal Studios. As you pass through the CityWalk on your way to the theme parks, make a pitstop at Voodoo Doughnuts where you’ll find some of the most delectable sweet treats you’ve ever seen. Our favorites are the one with breakfast cereal toppings. Try them, they’re amazing.

Have a Family Fun Day at Volcano Bay
We can’t think of a better playground for kids to relax, unwind or burn some energy. With big thrills for the older kids, and cute play areas like Runamukka Reef, where kids of any age can have fun there are endless options.
Take Flight on Your Bike With ET Adventure
Take a moment to enjoy one of Universal’s classic attractions. Introduce your kids to your childhood memories. What mom and dad haven’t dreamed of flying through the sky on a bike with E.T.? In this fun attraction, you’ll get to make that happen with your whole family. Keep an eye on the end of the ride for a special surprise.
Try A Butterbeer
Head over to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley for a chance to try Universal’s most iconic drink! This cool and refreshing fizzy drink has the taste of butterscotch and shortbread with big frothy foam that is sure to give you an Instagram-worthy moustache.
Go High In The Sky With The Seuss Trolley Train Ride
Add a little bit of Dr Seuss inspired magic with a ride on the Trolley Train. Family members of all ages can sit back and relax as you wind your way above the colorful buildings and rides of Seuss Landing. There are two different Trolley tracks. One tells the story of the Sneetches while the other takes you through the ABC’s. One of our favorite parts? The ride through Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous where you may even decide to stop afterwards to get a meal.
Meet a Dinosaur
Head over to Raptor Encounter where you’re little ones will delight in the fact that they can come face-to-face with the velociraptor Blue, from the Jurassic World movies. Trust us when we say that meeting Blue makes for some pretty awesome selfies.
Fly Over the Park on a Pteranodon
Now its time for another prehistoric adventure. Hop on the Pteranodon Flyers where you take flight under the wings o a dinosaur which offers some magnificent views of the theme park.
Hang Out With Your Favorite Ogre
Behold the mini movie that takes place after the first Shrek and before the second. In Shrek 4D, Lord Farquaad has returned (in ghostly form) to Far Far Away. He’s kidnapped Princess Fiona, and Shrek and Donkey are hot on his trail. You’re along for the ride, watching it all unfold from your cozy seat.
But this is no ordinary movie. With your OgreVision glasses (and a few special effects), you’ll see, hear and feel what’s happening, pulling you into the story like never before. It’s a fun, funny, multisensory adventure the whole family will love.
Enjoy the Hopping Good Harmonies of the Frog Choir
Hear the vocal stylings of this small choir of Hogwarts™ students, accompanied by the smooth bass rumbles of their giant throaty frogs. The silver-tongued students—one each from Gryffindor™, Slytherin™, Hufflepuff™, and Ravenclaw™ houses—perform familiar wizarding songs with their croaking counterparts!
