5 Best Places to Go Shopping in Universal Orlando

CityWalk is the main dining and nightlife zone in the Universal Orlando complex but it also boasts a lot of shops. The retail offerings include a Universal Studios souvenir store, Quiet Flight Surf Shop, Fossil watches and apparel, female fashion by Fresh Produce, toys and gifts at P!Q, and casual fashion at The Island Clothing Store.

On top of this, many of the themed restaurants and bars have their own souvenir shops (Hard Rock Café is the most famous).

The famous convenience store from The Simpsons cartoon is reproduced here (minus the ever-chirpy Apu), but gone are the week's old sausages and lotto tickets. In their place is Simpsons memorabilia of all kinds, which you'll be hard pushed to turn down. Homer slippers, Bart skateboards and snacks and candies of all kinds can be found here, piled high and selling fast.

Both the locals and the throngs of tourists visiting Orlando every year love a bit of outlet action, and this giant store on International Drive is one of the best. In fact, many will make entire road trips from nearby states just to grab a bargain at Orlando Premium Outlets, with discounts offered on a huge range of brands, including Adidas, Victoria's Secret, Hugo Boss, Diesel, Levi's, Nike, Quiksilver, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger – and about 100 more! With items plucked straight from the factory, expect discounts of up to 50%.
