Universal CityWalk
Orlando's Hottest Spot For Entertainment

Universal CityWalkUniversal CityWalk is a 30-acre entertainment, dining and shopping complex that offers visitors the opportunity to continue their Universal experience long after the parks have closed. Most of the places stay open from 11am to 2am. Restaurants, shops, concerts, nightclubs and a movie theater present a range of options for an exciting night out. The banks of the sparkling lagoon running through CityWalk are perfect for an after-dinner walk. While admission to the complex itself is free, most clubs have a cover charge. However, guests can visit all the clubs for the price of one with Universal's Party pass.

CityWalk is conveniently located between the entrances to both theme parks and is easily accessible from all three on-site hotels via shuttle buss, water taxi, or a short walk. Popular with locals and area visitors alike, it’s the perfect spot for a family night out, a romantic dinner, or just hanging out with friends.
