The Mouse For Less Tips

• E.T. Adventure is a slow-moving ride great for all ages at Universal Studios Florida. Some alien creatures may look unusual to young kids, so if your child is cautious, consider watching E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial before your visit to ease any fears.
• While E.T. Adventure doesn’t feature an on-ride photo, you can still capture the magic at E.T.’s Toy Closet & Photo Spot, located in the gift shop. Here, guests can recreate two iconic scenes from the film, making it the perfect place for a memorable family photo.
