Following in the very successful footsteps of the original in California comes this eclectic collection of top notch eateries, themed bars and exciting nightlife - all within minutes of the International Drive Resort Area. Parking after 6pm in the main Universal parking garage is free and there is never an admission charge to CityWalk® itself. Several of the nightclub venues though do charge a cover so you can choose just one or two or visit all of them with a CityWalk® Party Pass. (Make sure you carry a picture ID - no piccie no drinkie!) Stir it up over a nice cool RumRunner at Bob Marley - A Tribute to FreedomSM, a recreation of the Rasta masta's house in Kingston. Race fans can get all revved up over the NASCAR Sports Grille - top off your fluids and grease! Sing for your supper over at Pat O'Briens™, fresh from New Orleans, with its famous flaming fountains and dueling piano bar. Super Chef Emeril Lagasse offers a 5 star dining experience at the aptly named Emeril's™ Restaurant Orlando, or if you'd just prefer a 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' then park yourself over at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville®. For shrimp every way you can imagine visit Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant & Market, inspired by the smash movie Forrest Gump.

Hard Rock Cafe® Orlando and Hard Rock Live® Orlando bring you great burgertainment and a slick concert venue with rocking acts like Sheryl Crow, Elton John and Robbie Williams.  If you want to do more than just watch a concert - get into the act at CityWalk's Rising Star where you are the lead singer, crooning your favorite hits, backed by the live house band.  Movie buffs have a choice of 20 screens at the Universal Cineplex (all stadium seating) and basketball fans can slam-dunk some surprisingly good fare at NBA City. Mellow out on the balcony at the Red Coconut Club, Orlando's newest nightclub and ultralounge, or for a faster pace The GrooveSM is where you'll find all the latest dance music pounding away until 2am. Just down the street is the Latin Quarter®, testimony to the rapid crossover that's taken place as great latino rhythms hit America's mainstream. CityWalk® also has Orlando’s latest Vegas-style show, the eclectic Blue Man Group. Filled with great music, outrageous humor, and lots of toilet paper (you’ll see when you get there) you’re in for a fun night!

Best Value Tickets:
Entry into most CityWalk® venues is included with an Orlando FlexTicket or an Orlando FlexTicket Plus.  For those looking for one night of club-hopping fun, a single day CityWalk Party PassSM is also available from Universal.
