(Before I start typing I recommend going to island of adventure on a Thursday, when I went it was less crowded than I expected it to be :) )
THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!!!! I'm a die hard Dr Seuss fan who's been obsessed with Dr Seuss since the beginning of 2024,i was so excited to do a meet and greet with the characters (especially the cat in the hat!!!).The workers there were so kind and a nice lady worker named Stephanie was able to have every character to sign my autograph book, another worker did a trivia on the Grinch and she noticed that I got all of them right and was very impressed.And then an employee went took me and my family to meet and greet all of the characters, I got a hug, kiss, and picture with them all. It was so amazing I wanted to cry!!!!
The rides are also pretty good as well! The cat in the hat ride may be scary to a lot of people (especially meš), it's still very fun and enjoyable.The high in the sky Seuss trolley ride was AMAZING. I got to ride both the purple and blue track, and the view from the ride is beautiful, and I love the narration during the ride, it makes it more entertaining. The one fish two fish red fish blue fish ride is really nice! It's a nice way to cool off after a hot burning day.
The stores were awesome!!! I loved the cats hats and things store so much I didn't even know what to buy, same with all the other stores! I also really like the fact that they some stores had small TV's that played Dr Seuss movies, although when I went all they played was the lorax (both 1972 and 2012 version) and the 2003 cat in the hat movie, I would really like it If they would maybe air more movies, like the 1973 Seuss on the loose film or horton hears a who (both 1970 and 2008)
The food was pretty good, even though I ate at only one restaurant I still enjoyed the food , the chicken and biscuit was amazing! (Chicken and biscuit is basically just chicke strips and fries but with a peanut shaped biscuit) I also had the green eggs and ham chocolate cheese cake which was SOOO good, it came with a cute little fork that kinda mimics the Dr Seuss art style, I was gonna keep the fork as a souvenir but I lost it :( anyways I really enjoyed the cheese cake and I recommend trying it to anyone coming to universal Studios!
The buildings were so cool looking!!! I loved the fact there were no straight lines found in the building to copy the Dr Seuss art style, and I also like the bent palm trees there. I loved all the references to the books there as well! I really liked the statue of one of the sneetches in the ocean (at one point when I visited a bird layed on the statue lol) , same with the north and South going zax in the middle of the area standing still. Theres a lot of references to the books there and it all drove me insane (in a VERY good way)
I'll miss this place a lot, I cried both happy tears because of all the fun I had and the love I got from the workers/characters, and sad tears because if the fact I had to leave and will probably never go back, I enjoyed this experience a lot and I recommend anyone to come here, ESPECIALLY huge...

Meeting the Grinch at Universal Studios was, without a doubt, the best part of our entire day! From the moment we stepped into the Whoville-inspired setting, the festive atmosphere was unmatched. The attention to detail in the decorations and the whimsical music instantly made us feel like we were in the middle of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
But the real magic happened when we met the Grinch himself. He was everything we hoped forāhilarious, sassy, and perfectly in character. His quick wit and playful banter had us laughing the entire time. Whether he was cracking jokes, pulling funny faces, or pretending to be grumpy, every moment was pure gold. He even took extra time to interact with everyone, making it feel like such a personal experience.
This meet-and-greet wasnāt just a photo op; it was an unforgettable experience filled with laughter and holiday cheer. The Grinch brought so much energy and personality that it became the highlight of our trip. If youāre visiting Universal during the holidays, meeting the Grinch is an absolute must. Itās the kind of experience that leaves you smiling long after the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreUniversal really puts a lot of effort into making each land as detailed as possible. Since my kids are still young, they always want to come to visit this land. While The Harry Potter themed lands are the key hallmarks of both parks, Seuss landing still has a lot to offer.
Expect very short wait times when visiting, but the train ride might be the longest wait of all the available rides, so plan accordingly. I would recommend doing the train as early as possible if you plan on spending the 1st hours in Suess landing.
Characters are often seen walking through, with random performances or character meets occurring. Food here is of the standard fare you would expect, but Green Eggs and Ham just recently re-opened, but I did not realize it was since it has always been closed when we visited.
This is highly recommended for small children, but is also fun for adults especially if you grew up reading Dr. Seuss. I did feel a little weird with a beer in my hand, since I purchased in another land, and I donāt think they have kiosk beer offerings. Other than that this place is...
