Five Fun Experiences at Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort is, of course, known for bringing epic vacation experiences to the entire family. Whether you’re visiting with friends or family, there are plenty of fun things to do. From unique dining events to riveting rides, here are five of our favorite experiences at Universal Orlando Resort this summer.

Breakfast with the Minions

Bring the family for an awesome breakfast experience at Loews Royal Pacific Resort. Enjoy a tasty breakfast buffet in the Tahitian room featuring pancakes, eggs, sausages, and more — and meet your favorite Illumination’s Despicable Me characters. There’s no better feeling than seeing everyone’s faces light up when the Minions show up. If you’re just as obsessed with Despicable Me and the Minions as we are, be sure to reserve your seats here.

This new show is all about thrilling moments inspired by characters from popular Universal Orlando Resort attractions and blockbuster films. The show features full panoramic water screens – including multi-layered water screens – pyrotechnics, projection mapping and more than 120 dancing fountains. You can view the show from the new dedicated viewing location in the Central Park area of Universal Studios.

Take in Rooftop Views

Discover Orlando’s newest hotspot with sky-high views of our destination like you’ve never seen before at Bar 17 Bistro at Universal Orlando’s newest hotel, Universal’s Aventura Hotel. Sip on cocktails while soaking in the incredible rooftop views. Bar 17 Bistro also offers a taste of globally inspired dishes like bao buns and Wagyu beef sliders. This place is a must for anyone looking for a fun night out with the best-tasting food and drinks.
