How Many Parks Does Universal Studios Have?

Former Universal Studios Parks

There is one Universal Studios theme park that was open and has closed down.

Universal Mediterranea was located at Port Adventura World in Salou, Spain. It was open from 2002-2004.

What are the Parks at Universal Studios Orlando?

The Universal Orlando Resort is a complex made up of three theme parks, as well as Universal Citywalk Orlando and 8 Universal hotels.

The three parks at Universal Studios Orlando include:

  • Universal Studios Florida
  • Islands of Adventure
  • Volcano Bay Waterpark

There is some debate as to whether Universal Studios Orlando has two theme parks or three theme parks.

Universal Orlando Resort states that they have three theme parks, which includes Volcano Bay. Many visitors do not consider a water park the same as a theme park, though. Therefore, many visitors say that Universal Orlando has two theme parks.

The two-park ticket options that include entrance to both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure seem to confirm the belief that there are really only two theme parks at Universal Orlando, with an additional water park at Volcano Bay.

Soon, there will officially be three theme parks at Universal Orlando when Epic Universe opens in 2025.

Universal Orlando Resort is the largest of any of the Universal Parks properties.
