When many people think of Universal Orlando Resort, they picture big roller coasters and thrill rides. While Universal certainly delivers excitement, today's Universal Orlando offers so much more—including plenty of experiences for families with younger children.

With three theme parks, Volcano Bay water park, on-site resorts, entertainment, dining, and immersive themed lands, Universal has evolved into a destination where families can easily spend an entire vacation.

​

Families with little ones are often surprised by just how much there is for younger guests. From meeting beloved characters to enjoying family-friendly attractions, Universal offers experiences designed for a wide range of ages. Children can step into the colorful worlds of DreamWorks favorites, visit the whimsical Seuss Landing area featuring beloved Dr. Seuss characters, enjoy attractions like The Cat in the Hat, explore interactive play areas, and experience rides created with younger adventurers in mind. These experiences give families with preschoolers and elementary-aged children plenty to enjoy throughout their vacation.

​

Of course, one of Universal's biggest draws is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Whether you're strolling through Hogsmeade, exploring Diagon Alley, or riding the Hogwarts Express, the incredible attention to detail creates an immersive experience that appeals to both kids and adults.

​

A year after opening, Epic Universe has helped transform Universal Orlando into a true multi-day destination. Guests can now explore even more immersive worlds, attractions, entertainment, and dining experiences than ever before. Combined with Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, visitors have a wide variety of experiences ranging from family-friendly attractions to some of Orlando's most exciting thrill rides.

 

Beyond the parks, Universal's collection of on-site hotels offers accommodations for a variety of budgets and travel styles. Guests enjoy convenient transportation, early park admission at select parks, and the ability to stay close to all the action.

​

What makes Universal especially appealing is that it can grow with your family. Younger children can enjoy character experiences, interactive attractions, and themed lands, while older kids, teens, and adults can experience cutting-edge rides and immersive storytelling. It is one of the few destinations that truly offers something for every age group.

​

Whether you're planning your first visit or returning to experience everything that's new, Universal Orlando Resort continues to evolve into one of the most exciting vacation destinations in the country—offering far more than just thrills.
