Curious George Goes to Town was a children's water play and ball play area at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood.
The Florida attraction originally opened in 1998 on the former site of The Bates Motel Set used in Psycho IV: The Beginning.[1] Universal Studios Florida closed the attraction permanently on January 16, 2023, alongside Fievel's Playland, DreamWorks Destination, Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster and Shrek and Donkey's Meet and Greet, with its last day of operation on January 15.[2] As part of the new DreamWorks Land that opened on June 14, 2024, it was re-themed to Po's Kung Fu Training Camp, based on the Kung Fu Panda franchise.[3]
A similar attraction, The Adventures of Curious George, opened in March 2008 at Universal Studios Hollywood, replacing the Nickelodeon Blast Zone.[4] On September 6, 2013, the attraction was closed to make way for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.[5]
