Fun and high-thrills are in endless supply at Universal Orlando Resort! From Harry Potter to E.T., there are some can’t-miss attractions while on vacation.

Whether you’re going as a family for vacation or going alone for a day, there’s so much fun to be had at Universal Orlando Resort. There are two amazing theme parks, a water park, a dining and entertainment plaza and so much more to explore. With so much to do, how are you supposed to prioritize everything you and your family wants to do?

We’ve rounded up a list of 15 must-do attractions that you definitely won’t want to miss. If you’re headed to Orlando from May through October, you might want to do the outdoor attractions like Jurassic Park River Adventure first, since it tends to rain just about every afternoon in Florida. Otherwise, be sure to get a Universal Express pass to guarantee you get as much done as possible and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Our list is made up of attractions for families, thrill seekers, and even gamers! And soon, there’s going to be even more magic inside the park with the coming attraction Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. The new thrill ride is going to take guests through the Forbidden Forest to see some of the amazing creatures Hagrid has been raising and tending to while he works at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The new attraction is set to open June 13, and we cannot wait to experience it and add it to our list of must-do attractions next time we are at Islands of Adventure!
