Minion Land at Universal Studios
Let’s jump into more details about the new Minion Land.
Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast
You can put your villainous skills to the test in Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast. This all-new attraction is where guests compete against each other. It is a fully interactive gaming experience that’s so much fun, it’s a crime.
Afterward, guests exit through Evil Stuff, an all-new retail location where they can stock up on Villain-Con and Minions merchandise.
Evil Stuff
I LOVE the Villain-Con store called Evil Stuff. There are so many cute souvenirs including t-shirts, LoungeFly backpacks, bags, socks, and more. Here are some pictures from Evil Stuff in Minion Land.
Illumination’s Minion Cafe
We are super excited about the Minion Cafe. The Minions are in the kitchen! LOL! You know there will be mischief in the dining room and lots of tasty food. This immersive dining experience offers something for every palate. This dining experience features three themed areas designed by Minions Kevin, Stuart, and Bob and Otto.

In The Kitchen, you will get a glimpse of the equipment and gear the Minions use to whip up the cafe’s menu. In the Breakroom, you where see where the Minions’ break space is located. This includes the “Office Safety Tips” and a vending machine filled with mischievous items. Finally, the Dining Room is a vibrant space with colorful artwork courtesy of the Minions. You can enjoy your meal on an outdoor patio that overlooks Minion Land.
Minion Cafe Menu
The menu at the Minion Cafe is incredible! There are nearly 20 menu items inspired by the Minions and Despicable Me. Some of the menu items include:
- Otto’s Noodle Bowl
- Agnes’s Honeymoon Soup
- Carl’s Crispy Cauliflower
- Steak & “Cheese Ray” Sandwich
- Bob’s Teddy Bear Chocolate Cream Puff
- Mini Boss’ Mega Melt

You can enjoy the Minion Cafe or an express window for quick snacks. The express window will have a limited menu.
Bake My Day
Ready for a sweet treat in Minion Land? The quick service spot called Bake my Day will feature sweets in a whimsical retail location. You cannot miss Bake my Day. Just look for the massive pink cupcake! You can find Minion inspired sweet treats like cupcakes, macarons, s’mores and more.

In the retail shop, you can find Minion merchandise like apparel, plush, drink ware, accessories, keychains and more.
Pop-A-Nana
How about some banana flavored popcorn? Yes, please! This walk up spot features sweet and savory popcorn. Including banana flavor! You can also find an assortment of cute popcorn buckets. One of the most popular will be the Minion Selfie bucket.
Freeze Ray Pops
Another cute spot in Minion Land is the Freeze Ray Pops. You can cool off with a colorful variety of popsicles. These pops are inspired by Gru, the Minions, and Vector.
Illumination Theater
One of my favorite spots in Minion Land is the Illumination Theater. You can meet, greet, and interact with your favorite characters from Despicable Me. You can meet Minions, Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes. You can also meet some of the characters from the hit film “Sing.” This includes Rosita, Gunter, and Johnny.
In addition to these spots in Minion Land, you will find lots of murals and photo ops. Have your camera ready, because there are lots of spots for pics throughout Minion Land.
