Activity Level
Are you brave enough to be a Gryffindor? Is your grandchild clever enough to be a Ravenclaw? Maybe you and your fellow wizards have the ambition it takes to be a Slytherin or the loyalty of a Hufflepuff? Take your turn under the sorting hat and meet the team of wizards you’ll be competing with all week in Quidditch and Butterbeer-making competitions and Harry Potter trivia! Delve into the magical world of Harry Potter together as you explore Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and go behind-the-scenes at Universal Studios to learn how the park workers and special effects team make the magic happen.
Best of all, you'll...
  • Pass through Platform 9 ¾™ and ride the Hogwarts™ Express to explore both Harry Potter parks on your own during free time with a three-day, two-park pass.
  • Learn about owls like Hedwig and Pigwidgeon and meet different types of raptors at a rescue center for birds of prey.
  • Play a real life game of quidditch.
General Notes
