Universal Studios

Universal Studios has capitalized on its movie inventory to create what most movie-goers want to experience: being a part of the film. Sure, it's hokey and silly, but it's also fun. At both the Orlando and Hollywood locations, guests can relive Men in Black and get attacked by aliens, fight a tornado in Twister, ride bicycles through the air just like in E.T. and battle borgs in Terminator 2.

The park also has attractions based on Animal Planet Live! and Jaws. Younger kids will like the "Day in the Park With Barney" where they can sing and clap along. Universal Studios also has the Islands of Adventure theme park, which opened in 1999. The park has rides based on the Cat in the Hat, Popeye and Spider-Man, as well as roller coasters.



Tickets for Universal Hollywood are $45 for ages 10 and up and $35 for under 10. Universal Orlando (which also includes Islands of Adventure) is $49.95 for ages 10 and up and $40.95 for under 10.
