Wait Times at Islands of Adventure

Home > Waits > Universal Orlando > Islands of Adventure

Islands of Adventure, which opened in 1999, was the second theme park at Universal Orlando Resort, and the most technologically advanced for its time. While many opening day attractions still operate (like The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man & Jurassic Park River Adventure), the park has continued to evolve with new additions, including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Hogsmeade & Hogwarts) with Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and Jurassic World VelociCoaster. IOA is busiest during spring break (March & April), and Thanksgiving/Christmas, with lighter crowds in May, August, & September. See the Islands of Adventure Crowd Calendar for more details.
