Universal Studios - A Wonderful Day Out

This is a wonderful theme park, with plenty for the whole family. We have been to Orlando four times so far, and this is always on our list of places to go more than once.

For young children there is an entire zone of exciting but not scarey things to see and do, from a gentle roller coaster to a ride through the world of E.T. The water playground is very popular - expect to get wet!

For adults and children, there is an exciting Shrek show, with lots of surprises, and an adventure with Jimmy Neutron. The Horror Makeup Show is not as horrific as it sounds, with a lot of humour, but may be unsuitable for sensitive children.

For adults and older children, there is a great deal more to do. For example, there is a formidable roller coaster on the Mummy theme, which has lots of great effects. There are many other rides, including Men In Black - a personal favourite - and Jaws, a water excursion with an unwelcome twist. Two other highlights are a tornado experience, and a ride on a subway train when an earthquake hits. I can't say if these two are realistic, but they are very well done.

The staff are all friendly and helpful, and there are a number of different places to eat. The food is plentiful and tasty, and the price is reasonable compared to the UK. Everywhere is clean, including the public conveniences (restrooms) of which there are plenty.

It is right next door to another excellent park, Islands of Adventure, and to some great shops and restaurants.

My family and I would recommend this park to anyone.

It always seems a bit unimaginative to go to Florida for a holiday when there are so many more interesting and exciting places in the world. Each to his own I suppose
