A question I hear often is “how many days does my family need to visit Universal Orlando?” Guests will find three different parks to enjoy at Universal Orlando, including Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and the waterpark called Volcano Bay. A centralized dining and entertainment complex is also an inviting area on the Universal Orlando campus for people of all ages. This area is called Universal’s City Walk.
If you are planning a trip to Universal Orlando, you may be wondering how much time you need at the resort, in order to cover all of the activities that are interesting to you. Well, the answer can be a little bit complicated, but you will find some suggestions below that will help you decide on the perfect amount of time you need to ensure a wonderful Universal Orlando trip. Of course, some of the deciding factors will involve things like the amount of vacation time you have available, as well as the budget that you have to work with for your vacation.
For 1-2 day Visits
If you only have 1-2 days to spend at Universal Orlando: You will find that there is a lot of fun territory to cover at Universal Orlando, so if you only have a short amount of time to spend, such as a day or two, then you will want to do a little research beforehand, in order to determine which park you want to visit. While Universal Studios’ attractions focus more on the movie industry, Island of Adventures will appear to the thrill-seekers. Visitors can explore both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure parks on the same day if a park-to-park ticket is purchased.
For 3-4 day Visits
A 3-4 day visit to Universal Orlando offers many people a nice amount of time to see most of the interesting things they want to see. An entire day can be devoted to each amusement park, in addition to a day at Universal’s waterpark, Volcano Bay. City Walk can also be explored easily if you have a few days to be in the area, and you can also allow for some “downtime” to enjoy your hotel amenities, as well.
For 5-6 day Visits
A 5-6 day trip to Universal Orlando can be a real treat for many families. Multiple days at Universal offer guests some breathing room and time to explore much of the Universal Orlando area. Once you have visited the parks initially, you will have plenty of time to return to your favorite park when you have extra days available. Also, if there were certain rides or attractions that you really enjoyed, or that you missed the first time around, you now have another chance to return to the park of your choice and enjoy the rides and attractions again.
7-day Visits or More
If you have 7 or more days at Universal Orlando you will find there is no shortage of exciting things to see and do at Universal Orlando, or in other parts of Orlando (like everyone’s favorite Mouse), as well. If you have a week or more to spend at Universal Orlando, then you will have the time to attend every park of your choice, perhaps even more than one or two times, and you can also leisurely explore City Walk, your hotel amenities, and reliable transportation around Universal Orlando, too.
For any amount of time that you have devoted to Universal Orlando, you are sure to find Universal an exciting, accommodating, and vibrant place.
