Islands of Adventure

Universal's Islands of Adventure was the studio's second theme park to open in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the park, as the name implies, is exploration and adventure.

Guests begin their adventure from an inland sea main port and from there they can then journey to and explore one of the park's five islands.

Each area (island) of the park is located around the central lagoon and follows on the idea of exploration but has it's own unique theme giving the impression that every area is a different destination in the journey.

Port of Entry

Exactly as the name says, this is the park's main entrance. Themed in the style of an Arabian Bazaar the Port of Entry features many shops and restaurants including a full service restaurant, the Confisco Grille.

Guest relations is located here as well as an attraction information board near the lagoon.
