Also in Orlando is Universal Studios, packed full of activities and many simulator rides. Make sure you swing by Diagon Alley for some rides and shopping with Harry Potter and his friends! Don’t miss the Simpsons ride; it’s a real crowd pleaser! Then there’s the Oh, and how can I forget The Mummy ride? It’s a blast!

Islands of Adventure is the neighbor park to Universal Studios, and you can even buy “park hopper” passes to go to both parks during your stay. One of the biggest attractions at Islands of Adventure is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Sip on some birch beer while you are captivated by your surroundings, something every young wizard or witch should experience for themselves.
