Islands of Adventure Trading Company

The big kahuna gift shop of Islands of Adventure! This baby is located right by the entrance/ exit of the park, and it’s got all you could want and more (for the most part). Both theme parks have a huge self named gift shop right at the front, and if you hadn’t already guessed, this is Islands of Adventure’s guy.

I think the premise is really cute. The front of Islands of Adventure is the “port of entry”/ Arabian themed part, and this gift shop plays right into that by being called a “trading company”. The subtle foundations and complimenting details throughout the inside really give life to the idea.

Not to mention how much *stuff* they have here. Like I said, it’s the big store of IoA so it’s stocked and loaded. Unfortunately averse to the name, you cannot trade your own belongings for other things here.. (how awesome would that be though? I’ll take a hat in exchange for this fannypack, bahah). Nevertheless, you can definitely spend a good chunk of time shopping and even more money a’ spending at this ye’ old Islands of A Trading Co.

Best shop in the park. I hold a special place for this store, it is where I found my wand calling to me. Staff was the best, above and beyond great service.

Great store to get your last minute gifts on the way out of the park. Also this is the easiest place to get a cold soda or water on a busy hot day.

So many Harry Potter gifts you can find just about anything you want. It's layed out well giving you room to shop even if the store is crowded. Which is most of the time. The staff is friendly and helpful. Nice place to spend some time and money.
