A Holiday Adventure Beyond St. Augustine

Visiting St. Augustine for Christmas? Add a Little Grinchmas.

Step Into Who-ville

Christmas gets a whole lot more mischievous.

One day you’re walking beneath the Christmas lights of historic St. Augustine. The next, your family can be standing inside the wonderfully strange world of Seuss Landing with the Whos, Christmas everywhere and a certain green holiday troublemaker waiting nearby.

Grinchmas at Universal Orlando

Meet Christmas’s most reluctant celebrity.

Meeting the Grinch is exactly the kind of vacation moment children — and quite a few adults — never forget. Add the colorful world of Seuss Landing and suddenly your St. Augustine Christmas vacation has an entirely different chapter.

Meet the Grinch Explore Seuss Landing Meet the Whos Holiday Entertainment

More Than Christmas Decorations

Walk into a world that doesn’t look like anywhere else in Florida.

Seuss Landing is already one of the most imaginative areas inside Universal’s Islands of Adventure. During the holidays, the whimsical buildings, bright colors and unmistakable Seuss personality become the backdrop for Grinchmas.

That’s why we don’t think of this simply as another theme-park day. It can become the unexpected experience that makes your Florida holiday feel much bigger than the original itinerary.

And you don’t need to figure out the logistics alone. Tell us how many people are traveling, your dates and what you’d like to experience. We’ll help you work through the Universal portion of the trip.

Your family could be here.

St. Augustine in the morning. Who-ville by afternoon. That’s a pretty unforgettable Christmas vacation.

The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular

Watch the holiday story come alive.

Music, Whos, theatrical scenery and all the wonderfully over-the-top Christmas energy you would expect from Who-ville turn Grinchmas into something much bigger than a decorated theme park.

Stay for more than Grinchmas
Islands of Adventure can be just the beginning of your Universal Orlando getaway.

Your vacation’s heart may grow three sizes.

Sometimes the memory everyone talks about is the experience that wasn’t even on the original itinerary.

One Vacation. Two Christmas Worlds.

St. Augustine and Grinchmas make an incredible combination.

St. Augustine gives you historic streets, waterfront evenings, centuries-old architecture and one of Florida’s most memorable holiday atmospheres.

Universal Orlando changes the mood completely. Roller coasters, extraordinary themed worlds, huge entertainment and Grinchmas give your family a completely different experience without requiring a second Florida vacation.

Visit Orlando for the day, spend a night or two, or let us build a longer Universal stay around your St. Augustine trip.

A holiday side trip worth remembering. Tell us how your family likes to travel and we’ll help you decide whether a day trip or overnight Universal stay makes more sense.

Turn the Day Trip Into a Getaway

Don’t rush back. Stay a little longer.

Grinchmas can absolutely be a day trip from St. Augustine. But staying at Universal Orlando can completely change the experience.

Spend a night or two at a Universal Orlando hotel, add another park day, enjoy more of Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios Florida, or build Epic Universe into the vacation.
