The price of one-day, one-park admission tickets to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks has gone up, Universal Orlando confirms.
The cost of going to one of those parks for a day — without hopping over to the other one — ranges between $119 and $179, depending on the date. Previously, Universal’s going rate for this ticket was between $109 and $159.
A one-day ticket good for both parks on the same day now falls between $174 and $234, depending on the date. That’s up from the previous $164-$214 range.
“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.
Admission to Universal’s Volcano Bay water park ranges between $70 and $80.
The resort has multiple-day ticket options that can be purchased with or without “park-to-park” powers, and that generally results in lower per-day costs.
Florida residents currently 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 on consecutive days, but March 6 is the final day they are valid. There are blockout dates from Dec. 21 through Jan. 4.
