Hotels near Universal's Islands of Adventure
Orlando, FL 32819, USA
Universal's Islands of Adventure sits inside Universal Orlando Resort's original park complex and remains many long-time visitors' favourite park in the city. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade section, with its snow-topped rooftops, the Hogwarts Express platform (which runs a themed train ride over to Universal Studios Florida) and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey inside Hogwarts Castle, is the reason many people fly in. Add the Jurassic Park River Adventure, Jurassic World VelociCoaster (reaching 70 mph with a 155-foot inverted drop), and the classic Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride, and you have a full day.
Single-day tickets in 2026 start around $129 with peak pricing at $189. Hours run 9am to 9pm most of the year and extend during Halloween Horror Nights and the holiday season. A one-day Park-to-Park ticket that adds Universal Studios Florida costs an extra $65 and unlocks the Hogwarts Express, which requires admission to both parks.
Pro Tip: Arrive 45 minutes before rope drop and head directly to Jurassic World VelociCoaster - single-rider lines cut waits from 90 minutes to about 15-20, and the front row is worth waiting the extra ten minutes for on the second ride.
