Despite being the smallest of the Universal Studios around thw world, USS never cease to amaze us. It is a place that one can probably visit on a weekly basis given the opportunity. Queues are however long, but it's half the fun as it helps build anticipation for the attractions.

The VIP tour is the real deal. Quick access to the enclosures and a really cool visit to the back of the house of the aquarium. Totally worth the price, especially if like me you are on a tight schedule.
