5 Alternatives to Disney World For a Family Theme Park Vacation

2. Universal’s Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando, USA

Insider Monkey Rating: 12.5

Trip Advisor Rating: 4.5 (52,342 Reviews)

Ranking at number 2, the final Universal Studios Park in our list is the Island of Adventure Park, also based in Orlando. Unlike Universal Studios Orlando, this park focuses less on cinematic experiences/ live shows, and more on the adrenaline pumping rides most theme parkgoers crave for. Rather than being themed around movie productions, this park incorporates themes of various fandoms owned by universal pictures into thematic lands. By merging heroes, mythical creatures, and other characters into these lands, the Island of Adventure provides a more thrilling experience, which is also the reason it outranks Universal Studios Orlando in this list.
