The Guest Relations office sits at the entrance to the park to help travelers in need of assistance. Dining options range from the casual to elegant. Be sure to plan lunch around the Blues Brothers show, which can be seen and heard from Finnegan's. It's a scream. The Hard Rock Cafe sets outside the actual park, giving guests the option of including it in their day of fun at Universal or just dropping in for a meal without doing the theme park.
Shoppers find a plethora of choices to keep the credit cards burning.
The one at the park is bigger and better. Despite the early setbacks that all theme parks face, Universal is holding its own, and finding a niche of loyal fans. Each park has its own own distinct personality. Where MGM has more sit-down shows that necessitate planning your day from the outset, Universal has more rides that you can just jump on any time of the day. And Universal involves the audience more with the shows that it does have.
