DreamWorks Land replaced KidZone at Universal Studios Florida, featuring Shrek, Trolls, Kung Fu Panda, and ET characters via meet-and-greets, a small roller coaster, live shows, and shaded play areas designed for young children.

★★★★★Featured review by Bryan Gutierrez-Curdi

Looks like a very fun land with a lot of shade throughout. It also seems like there are many experiences for kids, like meet and greets, shows, and a small roller coaster. I think this is a great addition to the park, and while I did enjoy KidZone and the Woodt Woodpecker roller coaster, this transformation did seem to make the area more popular and also added some nice smaller attractions and some good snack options. I did the Puss in Boots Meet and greet in the front of the land and the line moves fast but you still had enough time to interact with the characters.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 2–8 who are fans of DreamWorks animation. The shaded layout, gentle ride, and character interactions make it the most toddler-accessible zone in Universal Studios Florida. ET Adventure adds nostalgic value for parents returning to Universal.

Adorei.. a atração do ET é muito bacana .. principalmente por eu ter assistido o filme algumas vezes, me fez recordar a infância.

Overview

DreamWorks Land is Universal Studios Florida's primary zone for young children, opened on the footprint of the former KidZone. The ET Adventure ride — a Universal classic — remains and earns strong nostalgia reviews. Character meet-and-greets feature Shrek, Fiona, Poppy from Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda's Po. A small roller coaster provides a first-coaster experience for young riders. The area features extensive shade throughout, which reviewers appreciate in Florida's heat.
