The Best Things to Do During Your Visit to Universal Studios

After working for over a year without a break, whether that’s at a medical clinic like ThriveMD or even a clothing company, anybody would want a little break. But when you have a family, picking a destination that can accommodate everyone can be rather difficult. That is, unless that destination just so happens to be Universal Studios. 

This legendary theme park is chock-full of unique and entertaining things to do; so many in fact that you’ll need several days just to experience it all. Here are some of the best things to do during your visit.

Ride in the Front

There’s something special about waiting in a line that’s an hour long and getting to ride in the very front of a roller coaster, and with some of the best rides out of any theme park in the world, it’s definitely worth the wait.

Rides like The Velocicoaster, Revenge of the Mummy, and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man will have you raising your hands over your head and screaming as the wind blasts through your hair—now you just have to make your way to each ride in the park.

Explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Is there any better place for Potterheads to go than the Wizarding World in Universal? Between Hogsmead and Diagon Alley, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. You could eat at The Three Broomsticks or The Leaky Cauldron, which has a menu straight out of the movies or visit Honeyduke’s sweetshop. There are tons of shops full of wizarding goods, in addition to Olivander’s Wand shop, where you can get your very own wand.

It’s also got a few of the best rides in the park, like Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts, Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure, and The Forbidden Journey. And no trip to the wizarding world would be complete without a tall mug of butterbeer.

Watch a Show

Whenever you’re ready for a break from all the loops and spinning, Universal has a great catalog of shows to enjoy. Some of the best live shows include Animal Actors: Live on Location, The Bourne Spectacular, Universal’s Horror Makeup Show, Poseidon’s Fury, and more. 

These shows give you a chance to catch your breath between all the rides and lines that are sure to fill your day and they’re great for the whole family.

Action!

Aside from making you feel like part of your favorite shows and movies, Universal Studios succeeds in simply being a fun place for families and friends to have an exciting time, regardless of whether you’re familiar with the movies and characters that surround you or not!
