Travel Information
The place to be outside the Parks
The fun doesn’t have to stop at rides and rollercoasters. Universal CityWalk is located right outside the entrance to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, lining up a lively collection of restaurants, bars, clubs and late-night attractions. Think movie-themed escape challenges, ultra-wacky minigolf, and a cinema with luxury recliner seats. Plus, you’ve got food for every mood, from desserts-to-go, to themed classics like Hard Rock Cafe.
Top attractions at Universal CityWalk
Universal’s Great Movie Escape
An escape room – but not as you know it. Jump into iconic movies and compete against the clock to complete as many games as you can. Channel your inner Doc Brown to solve Back to the Future-themed puzzles or see how life finds a way in a series of Jurassic World challenges.
Hollywood Drive-In Golf™
This place pairs up drive-in movie nostalgia with film-set style miniature golf, with kid-friendly courses themed on vintage horror and sci-fi flicks. Pitch and putt your way through a cemetery or into the belly of a giant space worm, with rounds of 18 or 36.
Red Coconut Club
Step straight from Florida into retro Havana at the Red Coconut Club, where dinner and dancing go hand-in-hand. This place goes big on the themed decor on festive occasions, and there’s a patio where you can people-watch on the neon-lit promenade.
Universal’s shopping and social hub
Stop by fan favourite restaurants, shop for souvenirs, or keep the fun flowing late into the evening with immersive, themed entertainment.
Shopping
The Universal Studios store is where it’s at for iconic merch – from superhero ensembles to magical wands. There’s also the Hard Rock Shop, a tattoo parlour, The Smuggler’s Hold for Margaritaville merch, and VooDoo Doughnut.
Entertainment
Take a breather from the theme park buzz in Universal Cinemark, with a movie night worthy of the classics. Settle into huge, squishy recliner chairs and opt for an XD screening – which puts you right in the action with massive screens and amplified audio.

This iconic rock ‘n’ roll themed venue brings its live music and memorabilia to the heart of Universal CityWalk. This is the biggest Hard Rock Café in the world, so expect an XL helping of top-notch food, tunes and cocktails.
The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen™
When you feel like a whimsical feast with a nod to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, reserve a table at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen™. Think curious culinary combos with a choccy twist, from gnocchi to cocoa coq au vin.
