Laid out more like a mini town than a park at Minion Park, Universal Studios Japan. The themed area is divided into the East Side and the West Side, with a driveway leading up to Gru’s house in the centre.
Need a snack? Head to the East Side where there is a Banana Cabana (we didn’t see that coming) and cookie kitchen.
The West Side is a shopping zone with sweet shop, Minion-inspired fashion items. Don’t forget to pop into the fun store too.
Fun & Rides
One of the attractions at Universal Studios Japan’s Minion Park is the Space Killer, an arcade game where visitors can try to win a stuffed unicorn just like Agnes did at Super Silly Fun Land in first Despicable Me movie.
After that, head over the Freeze Ray Sliders ride and go on a mayhem-filled race on “ice”.
Minion Mayhem at Minion Park, Universal Studios Japan
The highlight of Minion Park, Universal Studios Japan is Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, a ride which is housed in Gru’s… errrm… house.
In Minion Mayhem, get turned into a minion and go on an adventure on a motion ride where guests are seated in multiple ride vehicles, each with a slightly different perspective. Minion Mayhem makes use of a huge dome screen to provide an immersive ride experience that concludes with a heart-warming ending.
Those who love the popular, yellow minions will have a literal field day at Minion Park. There is plenty to soak in with a high level of attention paid to the details in the theming.
It is no wonder that this themed zone at Universal Studios Japan is often packed with crowds.
