Day 9: A Universal Day Out

Just one metro stop from our local station is Universal City - a business/shopping centre and Universal Studios. The current main attraction at Universal Studios is Harry Potter's Wizarding World of Magic, so it was the first place we visited. While the crowds grew during the day, the waiting time for rides and attractions was minimal. Everyone had a great time, especially the Harry Potter fans amongst us. The Jurassic Park and Mummy's Revenge rides were also popular, as was the Waterworld show with a number of our students determined to get wet!
