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 Mansion 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.
