As a general rule of thumb, the off-season at Universal Orlando is right after kids go back to school which includes the months of January, February, September, late April, and early May. As we have been discussing this is also when you will find the cheapest Universal ticket prices. In September, you’ll find Universal to be a lot quieter than the earlier summer months. During April, you can take advantage of the post-spring break lull in the last two weeks of the month. Historically you only had to avoid the first week or so, but 2021 proved this to be untrue as school's spring break schedules have varied more and more across the country. As for January and February, we also find these months to be among the least crowded time to visit Universal Studios. The main reason being is this is right after the holiday rush when most families vacation. If you're still unsure which month works best for your group, check out our Universal Crowd Calendar.
