From the moment we arrived to when we left, everything was really well done. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which set the tone right away. They have a buffet for breakfast and lunch with a good variety of options, so I feel like most people could find something they like. There are also smaller stands with snacks, pizza, and ICEE stations. Now let's talk about the drinks. There is just something about a frozen daiquiri when you're by the water. Highly recommend getting the drink package and trying a few... or all of them if you can handle it. I loved how many different areas there were to explore. Seeing dolphins swimming so close to the beach was actually kind of magical. They also have a monkey island which I was really excited about. It was closed when we got there, but I could still see them from a distance and I loved that. The aviary was really cool too. Tons of birds, but also tons of people. They recommend going first thing when the birds are most active, which we did, but so did everyone else. We got there about 45 minutes after opening and the birds already seemed a little over it. Honestly, I don't blame them. The Grand Reef was such a cool experience. I didn't really know what to expect, and even though it's man made, it still feels really immersive. Some of those rays are huge and have zero fear. They will swim right into you. My guy had never experienced anything like that and he loved it. I also liked that there were shallow areas and deeper sections if you wanted more of a snorkeling feel. The only downside for us was the Wind Away River. There are spots that get deep really fast, and that day they were apparently out of floaties because people were hoarding them and claiming areas. Staff even acknowledged it, which was frustrating because nothing was being done about it. It made parts of the river harder to enjoy than they should have been. Other than that, everything else was great and it made for such a fun day. Also the bar swings were a highlight. Loved those.

We had our own private ambassadors show us around the park and were escorted to the sting ray feeding area . We got our wet suits and lockers . Bathroom is very clean and has plenty of towels . The sting ray feeding was so much fun . The ambassadors are very informative . Trainers will feed the larger manta rays since they are larger and take vitamins but we fed the smaller sting rays which was a lot of fun. Also we got to feed small fish which was a fun treat for us . Monkey island pool - warmest water in the park Tropical river - slightly chilly but overall fun Great reef- chillest but once submerged not bad . Colder due to sea-life . Great reef was amazing , it looks like nothing but once you put googles on it's another world. Highly recommend. All inclusive drinks package - worth the money it can get pricy . Food - buffet style , it was okay . Not great , not good but satisfied appetite . Lots of towels , food all inclusive and a great way to spend time in Orlando !

It is nostalgic coming here and a great place to bring kids. Think like an old-school carnival or fair that is here year-round and you are just scratching at the surface.

I had a couple hours in the afternoon to use up between hotel check out and the conclusion of my…read morehusband's conference, so I took my kids to Fun Spot. I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks. Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride. As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me. But if one were to spend more hours there, buying the day pass online for $59.95 is quite a bargain. Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old. There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups. I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!

Overall, I think this is a great place to check out if you are in Orlando…read more We came here because we have Legoland gold passes which means we get free admission to sea life, Madame Tussaud's, and the Orlando Eye. All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

I walked through the warp pipe entrance and into the land, and that was a genuine moment. The colors, sounds, and scale of everything around me hit immediately in a way that was hard to prepare for even though I knew what to expect. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the music threading through the entire area kept the immersion intact as I moved from one section to the next. Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness is the ride to prioritize and the one that generates the most excitement in the land. I arrived at park open and went straight here, which was the right strategy as the wait times built quickly. Mario Kart is the other major attraction and delivers on the concept, with the Power Up Band integration adding a competitive layer that makes it more than just a passive ride experience. The Power Up Band is worth purchasing before entering the park if I want the full experience. It unlocks interactive elements and mini games scattered throughout the land that let me collect coins, hit question blocks, and track my score on the app. Without it I could still enjoy the rides and the theming, but a meaningful portion of what makes the land special is tied to having one. At around fifty dollars it is an added cost on top of an already expensive day, but for a Nintendo fan it justifies itself quickly. Weekday visits made a noticeable difference in wait times and gave me more room to engage with the interactive elements without feeling rushed. The land rewards people who slow down and explore rather than just moving through it as efficiently as possible, and there is enough packed into the space that I could spend a solid chunk of the day here without feeling like I had exhausted it.

This is our second time here. Our first time was celebrating our son's birthday a few years ago…read more This time was with our extended family and when we walked in we were greeted by Shona. She was wonderful!!! She had great energy and really started us off on a fantastic foot. My son ended up losing his phone and when we went back to the front desk to ask, the manager was very helpful and we were very lucky that it had been turned in! Thank you to him as well! I could tell between his energy and the energy of Shona that it is a good culture which always makes the feel of a place somewhere you want to come back to! We will always recommend wonderworks!

The last day of our vacation (May 18). Arrived and was warmly greeted by the cashier. Moved about…read morethe facility and it was mostly Ok. Unfortunately - Laser Tag not operating - the primary attraction we came for. Unfortunately, only one of two "Wonder Coaster" Simulators were operating (with only two kids going for each turn). Being annoyed, I timed the pace of the line. It took 3 minutes 40 seconds for the operator to get two kids weighed, strapped in, and the simulator started. Total time from weighing one group to the next was 7 minutes, 34 seconds ... ... again, that's for only two kids. Extrapolate that - only 16 kids get on each hour. Unfortunately, we went back to do the Ropes Course a second time, but it was either closed or not staffed.

The positives first, the park is well thought out, travel between each portal was easy. The visuals…read morewere stunning and we had an overall good experience. However, the waits were extremely long. We planned our stay for 2 days strategically to allow ample time to see it all while keeping a 10 and 9 year old in good spirits without pushing them past their limits. The express passes are way over priced and the limits placed on their use devalue the purchase. For the four of us it would have added an additional 1200 to our stay. Not what I call "family friendly." The staff was not well informed which to me was a shock. We received comments like: "I'm not really sure but.." or "I think you can..." and these were simple questions about park navigation. The most egregious encounter with a staff member was at the "How to Train Your Dragon" show entrance. It was 99 degrees that day and we were looking forward to seeing the show to get a break from the sun. As we approached the entrance the attraction had already closed despite us arriving before the stated time. When I asked about entrance she was not only rude, she went as far as to talk about me so loud I could hear her when I walked away. Not at all what I would expect. If Universal is in competition with Disney, they have a long way to go. I walked away with a "wow" and not in a good way. The photo package was not what I expected. The photographers were not easily visible or present at all portals as suggested. A big disappointment as we paid for a service we expected to be delivered as promised. We were told from one of the photographers that they are only present at "certain times" of the day. If that is the case then it needs to be stated in the information before the purchase. We were given incorrect information on multiple occasions. When asked how we could access our pictures we were told we had to visit the photo shop at the entrance of the park. I specifically asked if we could access them online and she said no. Finally we found out that was not accurate, that the photos were available online. The worst experience(as far as photos) was at park close. We were so excited to actually see a photographer at the entrance. We got in line to have our photo taken only to be told, Im sorry but after this person(the people in front of us) we will not be taking any more photos. I was stunned that they were not going to take our picture. We had stood in that line only to be told something we paid for was not going to be delivered. I just stood there in disbelief. Another photographer walked up and I asked him to take our photo and told him what the other guy said. He apologized and said he would take our photo. There is really no good excuse for poor customer service. Honestly, we receive better customer service from our local theme part at home, a small local experience: "Kentucky Kingdom." Epic has been open for a year now, I would be more understanding if the park was brand new. This is a leadership failure that needs to be addressed. The staff should be informed to answer basic questions about park navigation. As well as, be taught how to deliver excellent customer service. Truly we were disappointed at how uninformed and neglectful the staff were at times. And I didn't even mention the low visibility of the park characters. Not at all what I expected for the price as well as service. The bar is set very high based advertising and promotion. It was not delivered in our experience of "Epic" Universal.
