Whereas clock towers and bell towers are almost everywhere in Europe, there is at least one in major cities of India.
But when it comes to the US, clock towers are virtually non-existent.
So, when one is found in an unusual place like the Universal Studios in Orlando, it comes as no surprise that it is part of a replica building.
Here’s one such clock tower that caught my attention.
It was a very warm afternoon in June 2023 so there were very few people around.
Note that this part of Universal Studios is accessible only via purchased tickets.
Most places starting from the parking to the ticketing counters are accessible.
Various exhibits in the public areas and most shops and cafes were accessible.
Strollers are not available for rent.
Mobility scooters are also not available for those with difficulty walking.
Parking rates are steep depending on the vehicle.
You can bring your own food and drinks.
Bring along plenty of water or energy drinks.
Wear comfortable shoes to walk a lot.
Do not visit here on a weekend since the queues could get very long.
I stayed at the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham that was just across the street opposite the ICON Park.

Everywhere I travel, I always look out for a clock tower and hence I noticed that these are very difficult to find in the US compared to India where there is on in virtually every small and big town @TravellerG
