May 29th is a big deal for Jurassic Park fans as its National Dinosaur Day.
We usually celebrate it the only way we know… at Universal Studios Hollywood riding the famous Jurassic World — The Ride at the theme park. Unfortunately our plans have changed this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but thankfully USH is giving us a really great alternative while we shelter in place.
Later this evening, the theme park will be paying homage to its mega attraction and the holiday by hosting a massive Watch Party of the global blockbuster movie Jurassic World on Twitter beginning at 5PM PT/8PM ET. Fans are invited to screen their personal copy of the film while engaging with fellow fans through @UniStudios on Twitter.
Join us May 29th at 5pm PST/8pm EST as we #UniversalAtHome by watching @JurassicWorld! Tweet along with us using #JurassicWorldWatchParty.

To help toast the celebration and, for the first time ever, Universal Studios Hollywood is sharing some favorite cocktail recipes from the popular Isla Nu-Bar, located adjacent to the ride! If you’re 21+, we totally recommend hopping on a Zoom call with your BFFs to get the drinks mixing before the big premiere.
If you don’t have the specific ingredients listed below, don’t worry! Substitutions are encouraged and you can experiment with some new island cocktail ideas.
