Which Universal Orlando Park is Best for Adults?

In our opinion, the best Universal park for adults would have to be Islands of Adventure, which has a large amount of thrill rides available, including the popular Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Jurassic World Velocicoaster, and the the Incredible HulkCoaster. On the flip side, we also believe that Universal Studios Florida is perfect for older adults who would like to enjoy more shows and nighttime entertainment. Volcano Bay is the perfect water park to relax and enjoy the sun. So, as you will see, all three parks have so many amazing rides and entertainment. It all depends on your preference and the type of mood you are in.
