Why should we attend Universal's Middle School Gradventure?
Universal’s Gradventure is the ultimate middle school celebration for graduating students, with cutting-edge rides and attractions, dance zones and more–it’s a party only Universal can throw! Plus, we let chaperones in on the fun with FREE EXCLUSIVE UNIVERSAL EXPRESSSM ACCESS (enabling them to skip the regular lines* at most rides and attractions), the popular chaperone-only lounge, and more!
Who is eligible to attend Universal's Gradventure?
Graduating Middle School students and their chaperones may attend this event. All participants must be either chaperones or students attending public, private, or home school.
Are there any special responsibilities for our chaperones during Universal's Gradventure?
Yes. At least one of your chaperones must be on duty throughout the entire event. Your head chaperone is required to check in immediately upon arrival to pick up a pager. It must be returned upon exiting. Along with giving the head chaperone a pager, we also request a cell phone number for the evening of the event. Chaperones may not leave the event until park close except for an emergency. Chaperones must be at least 21 years of age.
Chaperones are required to make sure that students follow the no-smoking, no-alcohol and no-drugs policy throughout the entire evening. This is considered a school event, so all school rules and regulations should be enforced by all chaperones.
Do our chaperones receive complimentary admission to Universal's Gradventure?
Yes. One complimentary chaperone ticket is provided to you for every 10 student tickets purchased.
What kind of security will be present?
All bags, pockets and other items are checked for any illegal substances and weapons. For everyone’s security, metal detectors are used to check guests at the event entrance. All questionable items will be confiscated at the gate. Security is visibly present throughout the park during the event, and a paging system is in place to reach your chaperones should your students require assistance. At Universal Orlando, safety is always a priority, so your students can enjoy their night of fun in a safe environment.
Is there a dress code?
Students should wear comfortable clothing that lets them have fun while still looking their best. Click here for more information.
How do we know specifically where to arrive and depart from the event?
Prior to the event, you will be sent an information packet including everything there is to know about your Gradventure experience, including your specific arrival and departure locations.
What is there to do for Chaperones?
In addition to the free admission, chaperones can skip the regular lines* at participating rides and attractions with complimentary Universal ExpressSM ride access! Plus, chaperones enjoy special VIP extras including snacks and drinks all night long at the a chaperone-only lounge!
