IF you’re after a thrilling vacation, Universal Orlando has to be at the top of your list.
The Florida park has launched a new deal where you get access to three parks for the price of two – and we’ve even got some exclusive extra savings for Sun readers.
Universal Orlando’s ‘3 Park Explorer Ticket‘ allows you to visit Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay water theme park.
You will experience the holiday of a lifetime with unlimited access to three theme parks, Universal CityWalk offering the best food and entertainment.
To make it even better, Travel Republic has given Sun Travel readers an extra discount of up to £150.
Using the code ‘SUN150’, you could save up to £150 on ‘Flight + Hotel’ and ‘Hotel Only stays’ in Florida.
The discount is valid on bookings made before October 21, so you’ll have to be quick.
However, you can travel anytime between November 2023 and October 31, 2024.
To bag the total £150 discount, your trip will have to come to a total of £5,000 or more.
