7 Hidden Gems At Universal Orlando Resort 2022

by Jen Gallie

1. Raptor Encounter

Located opposite Velocicoaster, you can get up close and personal with Blue the Velociraptor.

Even if you’re not a fan of meeting characters, the Raptor Encounter at Islands of Adventure really is a must do. You don't really know exactly what will happen when you meet Blue or Bravo. They might decide that they like you... or they might decide they'd like you for lunch. Either way you always get an amazing photo.

You might also get to see a baby raptors named Sierra and Tango up close as their handler takes them out to get used to people. They are incredibly cute.

What are your must-does at Universal that everyone else seems to overlook?
