What are the must do attractions at Universal?

[nd4eva]

I have never been there and i am going to be going with family (all adults) in June. I am not sure if we are there for 1 or 2 days but what are the must do attractions?

Link to the description of all rides in the parks.

Since you haven't been before it's an excellent start point. There are park maps and much more.

The website also has info on hotels, parks, Citywalk and most details you'll need to get an idea of where everything is.

The stickies and boards here are excellent tools also.

Some of our faves include the Harry Potter rides - Gringotts and Forbidden Journey, Minions ride, Jurassic River Adventure, ET (because it's a classic!), the Simpsons, & Spiderman

Everything Harry Potter and The Mummy.

It really depends on what you like- and if you are there for a day, you probably want to prioritize certain attractions, so I'd also suggest looking at the lists of rides like schumigirl suggested. If it isn't in-depth enough, I like watching ride videos on YouTube to get a feel for what we'd like or go to the bookstore and pick up a guidebook.

schumigirl has given you some good advise about where to start.

What you are asking is a bit vague and hard to answer, because it will come down to personal tastes...and whether the plan is to stick together or each go their own way. If you all like the same things, great, it makes it easier to plan.

June is a busy month, so:
1 day trip can be an issue without planning....or: Express Passes (Single or Unlimited)!
2 day trips are more relaxing and you have to stay somewhere...why not Onsite...at a Deluxe Hotel? A 1 night Onsite stay, at a Deluxe Hotel, gives you Unlimited Express Passes for 2 days...and you don't really have to plan anything...you are onsite and can walk onto any ride without much of a wait (if any). Very relaxing.

Wait! There's More!
Volcano Bay opens late May, so there is another option of things to do.

Does the family like water rides, but doesn't care about Volcano Bay? Wear your swim gear, anyway...ride the water rides and you will dry quickly in the summer weather.

You sure 1 or 2 days is all you have?

We just got back from WDW and Universal (for 2 days). For us Harry Potter, both parks and the train ride, are not to be missed. We just took time to walk through all the amazing shops in each section, and of course ride Gringott's over and over. It is our favorite attraction, just amazing. We love MIB, the Minions, Shrek, Transformers, and the Mummy the most. One of our favorites that we never miss is the Horror Makeup Show. It's hilarious! I'm sure you will love them all. Oh, almost forgot Kong was great too.
