It's all about heroes and magic creatures mixed into incredible thrill rides. Throw in some mega dining spots, shows, and shopping opportunities, and you’re set.

THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER™

Hogsmeade™ Village

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ at Universal's Islands of Adventure is a proper journey into the village of Hogsmeade™ and the jewel in the crown - Hogwarts™ Castle itself. As soon as you enter, you’ll be immediately surrounded by snowy rooftops, that sweet, sweet smell of Butterbeer™, and bustling shops straight from the books and films. Oh, and there may just be an incredible ride or two...

Inside the castle itself, you’ll experience Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™, a mega breath-taking, immersive ride that takes you soaring alongside Harry and friends through thrilling encounters with Dementors, dragons, and Quidditch™ matches. Outside, you can hop aboard Flight of the Hippogriff™, a family-friendly coaster that lets you meet Buckbeak™ while sweeping around Hagrid's hut.

And don't skip Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™, an epic roller coaster where you'll sit on - you guessed it - motorbikes whilst zooming through the Forbidden Forest™.

Three Broomsticks™ is the heart of dining in Hogsmeade. A rustic tavern for hearty, traditional British fare. Try the famous roast chicken platter, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie in a cozy, medieval-style setting straight out of the films. Oh, and the Butterbeer, of course! Next door is Hog’s Head Pub, perfect for grabbing a drink, whether it’s Butterbeer, Pumpkin Juice, or exclusive brews like Hog’s Head Ale. Don't miss the grumpy hog’s head on the wall that occasionally grunts and moves!

There's loads of shopping experiences here, from Ollivanders™ to Honeydukes™, a sweet-tooth’s paradise try the Chocolate Frogs, Peppermint Toads, and Fudge Flies. Actually, just try everything. Dervish and Banges is for magical supplies and souvenirs, from Quidditch gear to robes, whilst Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods™ is filled with exclusive merch like Hogwarts house apparel, Dark Mark items, and more magical trinkets.

JURASSIC PARK

"Life, uh, finds a way."

Now, this is a thrilling adventure that brings dinosaurs to life in an exciting and immersive way. As soon as you pass through those iconic, towering gates, you'll be transported into the lush, prehistoric world of Isla Nublar, where danger and discovery are just around the corner. Sign us up!

The star of the area is Jurassic Park River Adventure, a water ride that starts with a peaceful boat tour through a dinosaur habitat, before drifting (whoops!) into the Raptor Containment Area, where you're plunged into an escape from a T. rex—just before making a dramatic 85-foot plunge!

For adrenaline junkies, there’s Jurassic World VelociCoaster, one of the most intense roller coasters in the park. You’ll race through the raptor paddock at speeds up to 70 mph, with thrilling twists, inversions, and near-miss encounters with Velociraptors. Then there's the Raptor Encounter, where you can come face-to-face with a lifelike Velociraptor, and the Jurassic Park Discovery Center, where you can learn more about dinosaurs, hatch baby raptors, and even get your own DNA analysed.

Thunder Falls Terrace is the main dining spot here, offering a mix of hearty meals with a view of the splashdown finale of the River Adventure.
The Watering Hole is a quick-service drink stand offering up frozen cocktails, draft beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, and Pizza Predatoria is the go-to place for pizza lovers.

Jurassic Outfitters is where you can pick up everything from Jurassic Park and Jurassic World merchandise to dino-themed apparel, toys, and collectibles. We've got our eyes on Jurassic Park rain ponchos. Dinostore, meanwhile, offers more scientifically-inspired merchandise, including educational toys, dinosaur models, and fossils. It's a great spot for budding palaeontologists to find something special.
