Customer Reviews

First experience at Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts was nothing short of spellbinding! From the moment I stepped into Diagon Alley, it felt like I had been transported straight into the Wizarding World. The attention to detail in the buildings and structures is absolutely breathtaking. Truly feeling like you’re walking through the pages of the books or scenes from the movies. The Gringotts ride itself is a masterpiece. The immersive storyline, stunning visuals, and thrilling drops made it an unforgettable adventure. The goblins working in the bank were so lifelike, it was easy to forget they weren’t real! But the magic doesn’t stop there. The shops were brimming with treasures from wands at Ollivanders to magical sweets at Honeydukes. I couldn’t resist grabbing some Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans and Chocolate Frogs to take home. Butterbeer was alright. One of the highlights? The massive dragon atop Gringotts Bank that actually breathes fire! It’s an awe-inspiring sight that stops everyone in their tracks every time it roars to life. The entire area is filled with incredible rides, interactive experiences, and jaw dropping architecture that makes every moment feel magical. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just looking for an incredible adventure, this is an experience you’ll never forget. Thank you, Universal Studios Florida, for bringing the Wizarding World to life! I can’t wait to return and explore even more. Highly recommend it to all witches, wizards, and even Muggles alike!

6 stars for this please !! An exceptional ride absolutely loved it ,worth the price of travelling all the way from uk to ride it , went on it twice as loved it so much ! The attention to detail in the entrance hall to the bank is stunning, oh and don’t forget the jaw dropping dragon ! My only niggle is the locker area is a nightmare, far to small for the amount of traffic for this ride and people get very pushy in the locker area - it can be somewhat unpleasant!

My family and I were here for 4 days in early November and went on this ride every single day during our visit. Although the line was long, it was still so fun and the ride was family friendly ❤️

Great ride, worth the wait. It's a simulator with a mini story about escaping from Gringotts, not a roller-coaster. When you enter the actual building, all the details you see while waiting make the wait enjoyable. Don't bring anything that won't fit your pockets except for a hat which you'll have to sit on it. This ride has child swap waiting area.
