If you're a Harry Potter fan, you're in luck. Islands of Adventure is the home to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Take a walk down Hogsmeade, sipping a Butterbeer before visiting Olivanders to get your first wand! Or venture into Hogwarts on Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey! Fly like a dragon on Dragon Challenge or relax with a bottle of... More

Went here on Saturday June 8th specifically for the Harry Potter park and it was great. Weather was good and we were able to go on all the rides and see everything in the park. When we left to go on some of the other rides it started getting dark. We were in line for the Hulk roller coaster when... More

Excellent park, especially the option to get refills for a dollar 6 if a souvenir Harry Potter "butterbeer" or kids drink is bought. The Hulk ride and Wizarding world of harry potter were brilliant.

Visited this park twice during our two week stay, its awesome, Harry Potter is without doubt the highlight of our visit, the detailing of Hogwarts & Hogsmeade Village is just astounding, the Butter Beer was sensational & the Harry Potter Ride itself was fantastic. We managed the whole park in our first day and can honestly say we never waited... More

Loved the roller coasters and appreciated the Express Pass. But motion sickness (not usually a problem ever before) on 3D rides made most of the park uninteresting since most of the attractions entail 3D animation. EVERYTHING is extra $$, including access to wifi on my smart phone. We wanted to check the weather and were out of luck. Been there,... More

Harry Potter alone makes the park a must see. Much of the rest of the park is awesome, such as Spiderman, Poseidon's Fury, the Hulk coaster, and even Dr. Seuss land. The downside is that there are simply not that many rides. You can breeze through this park quickly and then leave, either for the Universal Studios or for more... More

Universal is great but the wait time for most rides were ridiculous and the express pass was an extra $50. The Mummy and simpsons were great! E.T was always a favorite. Not many characters walking around like they use to.
