Guests come from all over the world to visit the Universal theme parks, with the Universal Orlando Resort being one of the most successful and famous theme parks in the country.

Filled with incredible new rides and attractions like Jurassic World VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, as well as classic experiences like Revenge of the Mummy, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Universal’s Florida theme park resort.

This carries over to the resort’s Tribute Store, which features a wide range of goodies, movie memorabilia, and unique collectibles that are sure to excite fans.

This store is located in Universal Studios Florida, one of the two theme parks at the Orlando resort. The Universal Tribute Store allows guests to immerse themselves in some of Universal’s most treasured film franchises, such as Jaws, Back to the Future, and E.T., just to name a few.

This store changes frequently, with new items and new theming rolling in every few months. As a result, the Tribute Store closes often to make way for new items, and the shop is expected to close once again this fall.

Twitter/X user Inside Universal recently shared that the Tribute Store is rumored to close on September 3, 2024, though it’s possible the closing date could be later. Inside Universal has accurately reported the closures of several other Universal theme park locations, giving this date a high chance of probability.

At the very least, Guests hoping to make a few purchases at Universal’s Tribute Store may want to do so sooner rather than later.

It’s unknown what the Tribute Store may look like when it reopens. Past refurbishments have transformed the shop into spooky Halloween Horror Nights and Jurassic Park-themed locations over the years.

Epic Universe will be anchored by several globally recognized brands and franchises, such as Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, and Super Mario, and will feature dozens of new rides, attractions, and areas to explore.
