Universal Islands of Adventure

Universal Islands of Adventure, often shortened to Islands of Adventure, is a theme park located in Orlando, Florida, United States. It originally opened as Universal Studios Islands of Adventure on May 28, 1999, along with CityWalk, as part of a major expansion that transformed Universal Studios Florida into Universal Orlando Resort. The investment was Universal's largest since the resort's founding in 1990. A short time later in 2001, the park was renamed Universal's Islands of Adventure, which remained in effect until 2023. It was the second theme park to open at the resort, followed by Universal Volcano Bay in 2017 as the first water park, and Universal Epic Universe in 2025 as the third theme park.

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 resulted in a notable increase in attendance. In 2013, Islands of Adventure was ranked seventh among U.S. theme parks and eleventh worldwide, with an estimated 8.1 million visitors.
