According to the Orlando Sentinel, if you're visiting one of Universal Orlando Resorts theme parks, plan on paying a little bit more as the one-day admission ticket price has increased.
What’s Happening:
- The price of the one-day admission ticket to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure has increased.
- The ticket cost of going to one of those parks for the day without hopping to the other one ranges between $119 and $179, depending on the date. Previously, it was between $109 and $159.
- One-day tickets, which will allow you to go to both parks on the same day, are now between $174 and $234 depending on the date, which is an increase from the previous $164-$214 range.
- If you're planning on going to Universal’s Volcano Bay water park, that will cost you between $70 and $80.
Florida Residents:
- Currently, there's also a special Florida resident ticket where visitors can buy a two-park, one-day ticket and get a second day free with advance purchases.
- Those tickets do not have to be used for consecutive days but must be used by March 6.
- Block-out dates from December 21 through January 4 apply.
What They're Saying:
- “Our pricing reflects the incredible, world-class entertainment experiences we continue to offer our guests, and with our date-based variable pricing model, guests have more flexibility when planning a visit to our destination and can choose the best time to visit that suits their needs,” reads an official Universal Orlando statement regarding the changes.
