Guests can also see the stage show “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, meet the Grinch from the movie, and enjoy specialty treats.
Guests do NOT need a separate Universal Orlando ticket for this event. If you have a park ticket you are all set. If you want to do Breakfast with the Grinch you DO need to purchase and make reservations.
Insider Tips You Don’t Want to Miss
Seuss Landing is best enjoyed during the day and at night. I prefer to start with doing the rides in the morning, before wait times get long. Then I take time to explore and check out all the details of the land. I picked out a few things below that you want to include in your exploring.
Take a Picture Under the Zax by Pass
The Zax by Pass is a fun photo-op in Seuss Landing. When you enter Seuss Landing go directly to your left and follow the path. Green Eggs and Ham eatery will be on your right.
This will lead you to the Zax by Pass. You can continue along the path and will exit near Moose Juice, Goose Juice. There are also restrooms located at the end of the path.
Stroll Through a Truffula Tree Forest
I love the message of the Lorax and you can take a short walk through the trees enjoying little surprises along the path.
Visit Horton the Elephant’s Nest
This is another awesome photo-op located outside the Cat in the Hat gift shop. Sit in the nest that Horton has to keep his egg safe. It is a great place to take a quick family picture!
Check out the View at Sneetch Beach
If you take a look at the lagoon in the center of the park you will see the Sneetches on the Beaches. Guests can also see them from the High in the Sky Trolley Train Ride.
Seuss Landing is a fun place for guests of all ages to explore and include in their day at Islands of Adventure.
