Theme Parks Nightime attractions

[Joshanna]

I know all the Disney Parks have nighttime attractions, such as a parade, or fireworks display, or something of the sort, and I know the same goes to Sea World.

Do the Universal parks (Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure) have anything of the sort? And Busch Gardens?

In our family we like to plan most details in advance... including sleeping hours! And Especially for the Orlando parks, since we'll be staying with relatives in Tampa, those informations are useful...

Thanks

Not sure that Universal do any night time experiences such as fireworks but City Walk at Universal is open and is very busy during the evening time.
It also depends on what time of year you visit as they do special nights for Halloween and Christmas after the park has shut.

Joshanna Universal do a firework/movie display, I think it was about 9.45 it started. Probably worth checking the Universal web site to see what time of the year they have it as I don't think they have it all year round. Have a great holiday.

It depends what you are looking for-City Walk is full of bars,restaurants,cinemas, clubs,free live bands, dancers, etc and every time we come out of the Universal Parks it takes us ages to get to the car simply because we are watching the entertainment on the way back.
To my knowledge there is nothing of this sort at Busch -mainly because of the animals

The Universal evening display is worth watching, as is the one at Sea World, both are a bit different from the standard firework display.

You will need to check nearer the time to see when they are on, and they can be cancelled on the day if the weather is bad.

Joshanna, what time of year are you going? We went to Mardi Gras at Universal for 2 Saturdays in April, all part of you ticket price, we saw Docerty (?) the Americans seemed to know him, very good and the KC and the sunshine band (dated but fun). The parade is just fabulous and we have enough beads to open up a "Claire's" of our own! One of our April evening favs...highly recommend for all the family!

Hi, thanks everyone!

I'll be going this month, between the 21st and the 19th I think. Those days Universal and Islands of Adventure until 8 or 9 PM, dependeng on the day we decide to visit.

Oh, and I just read in their site that they have no show closures for both parks (at the time)...

Well, I guess we'll see about ot when we get there. as for the City Walk... our ticket has a 7day limit, nut I'm sure we'll be able to put an evening in!!
