In addition to the plethora of dining options including the world’s largest Hard Rock Cafe®, CityWalk also offers family-friendly activities such as a 20-screen movie theater and a mini golf course, making it a relaxing break from the nearby roller coasters and theme park crowds. You can also watch a live concert, enjoy a performance by Blue Man Group, shop for souvenirs, sing karaoke with a live band and backup singers, or catch a game at the NBC Sports Grill & Brew™.
Universal CityWalk is located adjacent to Universal Orlando Resort™. There is an enclosed parking garage with moving sidewalks, escalators, elevators, wheelchair rentals, and even a kennel. Regular parking is free for matinee movie showings (11am-6pm) with the purchase of two or more tickets. And self-parking is free after 6pm.
The CityWalk complex is open daily from 11am to 2am, although the hours of individual shops and restaurants may differ. If you want to avoid crowded restaurants and wait times, plan to dine during off hours. Overall, you can expect to encounter the biggest crowds from late June to early August when school is out.
In addition to being home to some of Orlando’s top theme parks, the all-encompassing Universal Orlando Resort includes eight hotels, as well as shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Along with the original theme park, Universal’s Islands of Adventure is where you’ll find the popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal’s Volcano Bay™ water park is perfect for cooling off.
