Universal CityWalk may be Universal Orlando Resort’s dining, shopping, and entertainment district, but it definitely places the least emphasis on that last category. Still, you can find some welcome breaks while on your Universal vacation, each with its own bragging rights and drawbacks. We break them down for you below, including details on pricing and parking.

Shows and entertainment at Universal CityWalk
Universal Cinemark
This 20-screen movie theater boasts a Cinemark XD auditorium, with a wall-to-wall screen, custom-engineered surround-sound system, and a state-of-the-art projector that’s capable of displaying 35 trillion colors. If you’re looking for a less-intense experience, you can relax in Luxury Loungers in any of the other 19 theaters.
Universal Cinemark also features:
- Wheelchair access
- Stadium seating
- Theater rentals
- Mobile ticketing
- Digital projection
Best of all, regular parking at CityWalk is free with the purchase of two matinee tickets! Simply show your parking receipt at the box office to be reimbursed.
Hollywood Drive-In Golf
Located on the street-level floor of CityWalk, Hollywood Drive-In Golf is a tongue-in-cheek venue consisting of two different 18-hole courses: The Haunting of Ghostly Greens (themed to B-grade horror films) and Invaders from Planet Putt (the sci-fi equivalent). Both courses are bursting at the seams with vintage vibes and interactive elements, helping Hollywood Drive-In to remain one of the highest-ranked putt-putt courses in the Orlando area.
This venue is open from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm, seven days a week, and set to illuminate as the sun goes down. A round of 18 holes costs $17.99 for adults and $15.99 for children aged three to nine. If you want to play both courses, it’ll cost you $32.98 ($28.98 for kids). Discounts are available for veterans, AAA members, seniors, and annual passholders.
Shows and entertainment at Universal CityWalk – FAQ

Are there age requirements for any of the shows or entertainment at CityWalk?
No. Guests of all ages can enjoy the entertainment offerings at CityWalk. The only exception to this is, of course, R-rated movies at Universal Cinemark, which you must be 17 (or accompanied by a parent or guardian) to see, or 21+ clubs and bars.
Do I have to pay for parking if I’m going to a show at CityWalk?
As we mentioned earlier, regular parking at CityWalk is free with the purchase of two matinee tickets from the movie theater – simply show your parking receipt at the box office to be reimbursed. Parking is not included with the purchase of a Hollywood Drive-In Golf round.
Of course, if you’re arriving after 6:00 pm, parking will be free, regardless.
