Do babies pay at Universal Studios?

All guests 2 and under enter for free. Certain ticket types (for example, Annual Passes) are offered with just one price for all guests. For these products, there is no height-based nor age-based discount version.



At Universal Studios (both Orlando and Hollywood), babies and toddlers who are under the age of 3 do not need a ticket and can enter the parks for free. Once a child reaches their third birthday, they are required to have a "Child" ticket, which is valid for ages 3 through 9. For those aged 10 and older, "Adult" pricing applies. In 2026, with the opening of Universal Epic Universe in Florida, these age rules remain consistent across the resort. While admission is free for the littlest guests, parents should note that many high-thrill attractions have strict height requirements that infants cannot meet. However, Universal utilizes a "Child Switch" program, allowing one parent to wait in a designated room with the baby while the other rides, and then swap places without waiting in line again. This makes the parks very accessible for families with infants.
