The Mouse For Less Tips

• The Jurassic Park Discovery Center at Universal Orlando Resort is the perfect indoor spot to cool off on hot Florida days while diving into prehistoric fun. Located in the Jurassic Park area of Islands of Adventure, this attraction offers a hands-on, educational experience for dinosaur fans of all ages.
• Inside the “lab,” guests will find a Velociraptor egg nursery where, if you wait long enough, you might even witness a baby raptor hatch! If you’re in a hurry, ask a nearby Team Member if a hatching is expected soon—they’ll let you know if it’s worth sticking around or returning later.
• The Universal Orlando Resort exhibit is generally not a busy place, so it will open after the parks themselves open. Operating hours run from about 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• While some displays may feel a bit dated, they’re still highly entertaining for younger children, offering interactive games, DNA sequencing, fossil activities, and more. The building also shares space with Burger Digs, making the main floor a bit noisy and busy during mealtimes. For a quieter experience, head downstairs where the exhibits are spread out and easier to enjoy.
