THE BIG SCREEN BROUGHT TO LIFE

Universal Orlando Guide | Parks | Resorts | Book now

If you’ve always wanted to pretend you’re inside your fave TV shows films, you’ve gotta head here. From Illumination's mischievous Minions and Men in Black to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - Diagon Alley™, Universal Studios Florida is the big screen made waaaaay bigger. And louder. And more alive than ever. Here’s a quick rundown on just what you can enjoy here.

THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER™, Diagon Alley™

Be enchanted
The magic of Harry Potter™ for us muggles™ is weaved right across the parks at Universal Orlando, but here at Universal Studios Florida in Diagon Alley™ you can explore different experiences more exciting than not knowing what flavour Bertie Bott’s All Flavour Beans you’re going to get.

ATTRACTIONS

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™ is a multi-dimensional thrill ride that has you navigating subterranean vaults as you avoid Voldemort’s cronies. Don’t miss the actual fire-breathing dragon (a Ukranian Ironbelly, if you’re curious) above you as enter. Hogwarts™ Express: King’s Cross Station™ is where you’ll wait before boarding the famous train itself. Get your camera out for when the train pulls in, smoke billowing everywhere – it sure is something.

On board the Hogwarts™ Express, keep an eye out of the window as you chug through the British countryside. But don’t forget to check out the inside too – the detailing here is insane! But the best thing about this experience? If you’ve got a Park-to-Park ticket, then you can actually use the train to travel between Diagon Alley™ in Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade™ over at Universal Islands of Adventure – how nifty is that?!

DINING & SHOPPING

For dining, head to The Leaky Cauldron™, where you can enjoy hearty British fare like bangers and mash, fish and chips, and Butterbeer, all served in a cosy, rustic pub setting. For dessert, visit Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour™ for unique flavours like Butterbeer ice cream.

When it comes to shopping, the attraction Ollivanders™ is where you can choose a wand (or for a very special experience indeed, the wand can choose one extra magical person), Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes is for novelty joke items, and Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions is for wizarding attire. Don’t forget to visit Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn™ Alley for Dark Arts curiosities.

ILLUMINATION'S MINION LAND

Illumination’s Minions have taken over
Illumination's Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida is a family-friendly world that brings the mischievous charm of Illuminations Minions to life in colourful, hilarious ways. As soon as you step into Minion Land, you’re surrounded by larger-than-life depictions of your favourite yellow troublemakers.

ATTRACTIONS

The main attraction here is Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast, an interactive blaster game where you’re recruited to prove your villainous skills and compete against others in a chaotic, high-energy showdown. You’ll also find the fan-favorite Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, a 3D motion simulator ride where you join Gru’s family for a heartwarming but wacky adventure, all while being "minionized."

DINING & SHOPPING

At Minion Cafe, you can dive into playful dishes like Otto’s Noodle Bowl and Bob’s Teddy Bear Chocolate Cream Puff, each as quirky as the Minions themselves. For dessert, Bake My Day offers delicious cupcakes and Minion-themed sweets in a shop adorned with a giant pink cupcake on the roof!

You can also pick up exclusive Minions merchandise at Super Silly Stuff, the perfect place to grab Minion-themed souvenirs, clothing, and gadgets.

Keep 'em coming!

MEN IN BLACK: ALIEN ATTACK

Don your best black suits and sunglasses because New York has been hit by alien attack and it’s up to you, Agent Trainee, and 5 of your mates, to wipe out the scum of the universe.

A multi-room motion-based experience, zap those suckers or they’ll zap you. With over 120 different aliens to encounter and multiple possible endings, you’ll never have the same ride twice.

Revenge of the Mummy

Grab on to that safety rail like your life depends on it - because it just might. You're hurtling forward, then yanked back again, tearing through ancient ruins with the terrifying Mummy Imhotep hot on your heels. Just when you think you’ve outrun him... BAM! You drop into total darkness. No light. No bottom. Just a freefall into the unknown. So, what's it gonna be - sweet daylight or an eternity trapped in this cursed tomb?

TRANSFORMERS: THE RIDE 3D

Transformers: The Ride 3D throws you right into the heart of a mega battle between the Autobots and Decepticons - and you’re part of the action. You’re recruited as a NEST (Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty) agent to help defend Earth. You’ll board your own Autobot, EVAC, and set off on an epic chase through the streets of a war-torn city.

With larger-than-life 3D visuals, motion simulation, and practical effects like heat blasts and wind, it feels like you’re right in the middle of the chaos.
