Universal's Islands of Adventure

Universal Islands of Adventure, commonly known as Islands of Adventure, is a theme park in Orlando, Florida, United States. Owned by NBCUniversal and operated by Universal Destinations & Experiences, the park officially opened as Universal Studios Islands of Adventure on May 28, 1999. Its opening marked Universal's largest investment and expansion in the Orlando area since the debut of Universal Studios Florida in 1990. The expansion included the development of Universal CityWalk, together establishing what became Universal Orlando Resort. The park was renamed Universal's Islands of Adventure in 2001, a name that remained in use through 2023. It was the second of four parks to open at the resort and was later followed by Universal Volcano Bay in 2017 and Universal Epic Universe in 2025. Islands of Adventure is designed around the concept of exploration, with each section of the park representing a different themed island. Initially, the park featured six themed areas. A seventh area called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, based on the Harry Potter franchise, was introduced in 2010 and contributed to a notable increase in attendance. In 2024, the park had an attendance of 9.4 million visitors, ranking fourteenth worldwide among amusement parks.
