Things to Do in Universal CityWalk Orlando from Cocoa

Universal gives 6000 Universal Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32819, as the parking-garage address serving CityWalk and the other parks except Epic Universe. Plan your drive from Cocoa to that address and confirm your route and current parking details before leaving. The available travel information does not give a driving time from Apollo Inn - Cocoa to CityWalk.

Regular self-parking costs $35 including tax, whether prepaid or paid at the parking toll plaza. Parking prices are per vehicle, seasonal and may vary by day. Prime self-parking costs $50–$60 including tax, and a Prime upgrade costs $14–$25 including tax.

For airport logistics, transport from Orlando International Airport to Cocoa is another part of planning your trip.

RV or bus parking costs $45 including tax. Valet prices depend on the time and length of parking: before 6 p.m., it costs $38 for two hours and $76–$81 for over two hours; after 6 p.m., it costs $38 for two hours and $46–$81 for over two hours.

Free self-parking is available after 6 p.m. on nights without Halloween Horror Nights, except December 31. For Universal Cinemark matinees between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., guests who buy at least two tickets can receive free regular parking after paying the parking fee and presenting the parking receipt; restrictions apply. Prepaid regular self-parking is valid for Universal’s four theme parks and CityWalk.

CityWalk combines restaurants, entertainment venues and shops, so you can build a visit around a meal or add an activity. Restaurant options include The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, Bigfire, NBC Sports Grill & Brew and Voodoo Doughnut.

Other full-service dining choices include Bob Marley – A Tribute to Freedom, Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Pat O’Brien’s, Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Hard Rock Cafe Orlando, Red Oven Pizza Bakery and VIVO Italian Kitchen.

For quicker bites or coffee, options include Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, Bread Box Handcrafted Sandwiches, Cinnabon, Cold Stone Creamery, Panda Express, Five Guys, Starbucks and Bend the Bao.

Entertainment options include Universal’s Great Movie Escape, Universal Cinemark, Hollywood Drive-In Golf and Red Coconut Club. Shopping options include Universal Studios Store, Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company and Rock Shop. Confirm which venues are operating and what restrictions apply when planning your visit, since offerings can change.

CityWalk’s operating hours can change at Universal Orlando Resort’s discretion, so confirm the hours for your planned visit rather than relying on a fixed daily schedule. Attractions, restrictions and dining venues are also subject to change without notice.

Guests under 18 who do not have theme-park admission or admission to a separately ticketed event must leave CityWalk by 8 p.m. unless an exception applies.

Exceptions include being accompanied by a parent or guardian age 21 or older, staying at a Universal hotel, having a CityWalk restaurant reservation, or holding tickets for Hollywood Drive-In Golf or Universal’s Great Movie Escape.

For this age rule, the accompanying parent or guardian must show government-issued photo identification with a date of birth. One adult may accompany no more than five guests under 18.

CityWalk can be one Orlando outing during a Cocoa trip. If you are planning another theme-park visit, a SeaWorld Orlando outing from Cocoa is another itinerary to consider.

For a different Orlando day, a visit to The Seas with Nemo & Friends from Cocoa offers another option to plan alongside your CityWalk visit.
