Universal CityWalk
— the lit walk between two gates.
Not only on a wall.
Universal CityWalk, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.
Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.
Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.
Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.
“The pedestrian district that runs between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, opened in 1999 across about thirty acres of restaurants, music venues and shops. Admission is free, and the walk fills after dark with strings of bulbs, neon signage and the glow off the harbour lagoon. Hard Rock Cafe, Margaritaville and the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium anchor the corners.
The place, in three passes.
Universal CityWalk Orlando is the open-air entertainment district at Universal Orlando Resort, sitting between the entrances to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. The complex opened on June 5, 1999, covers roughly 30 acres and is operated by Universal Destinations and Experiences, a division of Comcast NBCUniversal. Admission is free; parking after 6 p.m. is generally free as well. The walk replaced an earlier ticketed plaza when the resort expanded to a second gate.
After dark the district reads as one long lit street, with neon signage on Hard Rock Cafe, the Hard Rock Live music venue, Margaritaville, NBC Sports Grill and the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium clock tower. The central lagoon throws the lights back doubled, and the curving promenade is wired with strings of warm bulbs above the walkway. The Blue Man Group ran their resident Orlando show at CityWalk's Sharp Aquos Theatre from 2007 until 2021.
CityWalk is open daily, with most venues running from late morning into the evening and the bars and clubs holding later hours. A Universal CityWalk Party Pass historically bundled cover charges for the nightclub venues into one ticket. The complex is reached on foot from the Universal Orlando parking hub, by water taxi from the on-site hotels, or by rideshare drop-off at the resort entrance off Universal Boulevard near the I-4 interchange.
