Fast Facts

ATMs -- Machines accepting cards from banks using the Cirrus, Honor, and PLUS systems are located outside and to the right of the main entrance and in the Lost Continent near the bridge to Jurassic Park.

Baby Care -- There are baby-swap stations at all of the major attractions. This allows one parent to wait while the other rides. Nursing facilities are located at Family Services near the First Aid Station in the Port of Entry. Look for the FAMILY SERVICES sign. Changing tables are available in both the men's and women's restrooms throughout the park. Diapers and baby food are not sold in the park, so be sure to come prepared with a supply of diapers, food, and other necessities.

Cameras & Film -- Film and disposable cameras are available at De Foto's Expedition Photography, to the right just inside the main entrance.

Car Assistance -- Battery jumps are provided. If you need assistance with your car, raise the hood and use the call boxes located throughout the garage to call for security.

First Aid -- There's one just inside and to the right of the main entrance and another in the Lost Continent, near The Mystic Fountain.

Lockers -- Lockers are across from Guest Services near the main entrance and cost $8 a day (no oversize lockers here). There are also lockers near the Incredible Hulk Coaster in Marvel Super Hero Island, the Jurassic Park River Adventure in Jurassic Park, and Dueling Dragons in the Lost Continent. The lockers at Dueling Dragons and the Incredible Hulk Coaster are free for the first 45 minutes. Thereafter, and at the Jurassic Park River Adventure, they're $2 per hour to a maximum of $14 per day. You're not supposed to -- and shouldn't -- take things on these rides, so put them in a locker or give them to a nonrider.

Lost Children -- If you lose a child, go to Guest Services near the main entrance or go to the first park employee you see. Children younger than 7 should wear name-tags inside their clothing.

Pet Care -- You can board your small animals at the shelter in the parking garages for $10 a day (no overnight stays), but you'll have to feed and walk them. Ask the attendant where you pay for parking to direct you to the kennel.

Ride Restrictions -- Many of the park's attractions have minimum height requirements. Universal also recommends that expectant mothers steer clear of some rides (also noted in the listings).

Stroller Rental -- Look to your left as you enter through the turnstiles. The cost (including tax) is $11 for a single, $17 for a double.

Wheelchair Rental -- Regular wheelchairs can be rented for $12 in the center concourse of the parking garage or to your left as you enter the turnstiles of the main entrance. Electric wheelchairs are $40. Both require a $50 deposit and a rental contract.

Finding Your Way -- Other-than-English park maps are available at Guest Services in the Port of Entry in French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
