I grew up loving the Jurassic Park movies and all things dinosaurs, so when we had a chance to go to Universal Studios, I was super excited to visit. There’s a section in Universal dedicated to Jurassic Park. There are lots of exhibits where you can learn about the dinosaurs and interact with them.
The BEST part was the Velociraptor experience (video below). There’s a ‘trainer’ that will guide you to interact with the animal. I was standing in line thinking people were silly for getting scared because it’s clearly fake, but once you’re up there, they do a really good job of making it feel real.
If you’re a super fan of dinosaurs, make sure to visit the T-rex cafe at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney).
Tip- give your phone to one of the trainers to capture a video. There’s also a professional photographer to take your photo through the theme park. You will save a lot more money if you have them use your camera. Make sure to put it in burst mode. She held both our phones.

Tip- call up to 6 months ahead to make reservations. You can also sit at the bar where it’s first come, first served with full service. Just walk right in.
Enjoy!
