Be prepared for an amazing atmosphere and breathe taking stained glass artwork. Came here first thing in the morning at 10am and it was completely worth the trip. Theres also a wonderful gift shop worth looking around. Definitely word recommend coming here with your partner or family. Be sure to take pictures as well but be courteous of others around you.

Visiting from West Coast. A beautiful and peaceful place to rest, pray and listen. Thanksgiving Mass was wonderful! Gardens and lands are well maintained and the art, inside and out, lifts the soul. Mary, Queen of the Universe, pray for us.

Its a big Catholic church with a lot of devotees visiting on a regular basis. Theres also a boutique where you can buy religious items. Parking is easier too. A lot of quiet areas to meditate.

For any followers of Christ this is a must see place of worship. Beautiful architecture, amazing statues and art, and meaningful worship services with a great choir and organist.

Ample parking. Easy to locate. Clean facilities. Lovely female cantor. Short, easy to understand sermon. The fellow worshippers dont pressure you to do anything. Many hours of service to accommodate your life schedule. Ill definitely go back.

I love coming to the Basilica because it is the only place where confessions run daily for long periods of time. They have a wonderful pipe organ that makes wonderful music and has around 5 thousand pipes. The priests make the services extra special with their wisdom during the sermons.

I love visiting with Our Blessed Mother & her most Powerful & Noble Defender - Saint Michael The Archangel.

Beautiful grounds and building. Choir must have jobs during the week doing theme song soundtracks for Disney movies. They are absolutely phenomenal! Large, well stocked gift shop on the property. Very interesting and informative display room of the history of Pilgrimages with a timeline since the birth of Christ. Lovely priest announced his retirement along with his twin brother who con-celebrated our Mass. Very touching moments, even for us as visitors.

Beautiful area. I go when there aren’t masses being held because I love to just focus on the moment and then to enter the quiet serenity of the Shrine. Because of the ongoing construction, only the chapel is available for contemplation and payer. Edit: the church is open again as of 12/19. The chapel is small but luminous with stained glass of dark blue with stars peering through. It perfect place to sit or kneel and pray or meditate. I appreciate that they keep it open anytime. There’s also a large fountain in the middle of the foyer where you can get holy water. And there’s a family of otters that live on the grounds and they like to swim in the little pond area.

Beautiful, spacious shrine with a wonderfully stocked gift shop and peaceful garden for prayers and/or meditation.You should be able to find what you are looking for at their gift shop. The gift shop offers an assortment of prayer books, rosaries, prayer cards, crucifixes, icons, statues, and seasonal items.The museum is small, but warming.I left Florida just before the completion of their pipe organ install. Wish I had more time to spend here!** FILL UP ON GAS OUTSIDE THIS AREA IF YOU CAN! Gas prices sky high! **

Very beautiful Basilica, even with the ongoing renovations in progress. The presiding priest was very welcoming to visitors during Mass, and the gift shop had a large variety of religious articles including some very beautiful statues that they could ship for you (with reasonable shipping fees) to your residence. We had a beautiful statues of Our Lady of Fatima shipped to our home in California for only $40. Also, absolutely loved the choir. Their singing befiited the grandeur of this amazing place.

Catholic Mass, no surprises here, but this is a beautiful church.

Love to visit this beautiful shrine on mothers day and Christmas season.This image was taken on mothers day 2019. The #maryqueenoftheuniverseshrine was decorated with 15.000 roses from Colombia and Ecuador

0utstanding. Covid 19 protocols are taken seriously and enforced.It is truly a place of peace and worship.Reinaldo Perez

Beautiful, peaceful place to spend time w/ the Father, His Son and Mary, Queen of the Universe. Stunning architectural designs and sculptures. This church does miracle - i got healed from a 3-yr lump in my throat right on my first visit in Dec 2018... I was getting worried it could turn into cancer. My family doctor and ENT Specialist said they were muscle reflexes. So they gave me high-powered script to relax but never helped. They threw me into a lot of lab tests. Lump continued but after I went home from this beautiful Basilica after attending a Sunday mass, the next Monday morning while rushing for work, I realized the lump was gone. As in 100% gone.. I dont know, its a truth beyond belief. Just something is saying I am real, I am here . Since then I keep coming back as God would allow me to, every Sunday even though Im a bit far like 1hr drive one way. Currently, I love praying the Rosary at the adoration chapel after mass or before. My 3-yr old baby loves this place too and she is very excited every time i tell her we will go to Papa Jesus house. ^_^

Incredibly beautiful basilica. Pastor gave a phenomenal sermon. I truly loved the experience.

There is an amazing peace thats hugs you when you walk the grounds and when you enter the church you are greeted with peaceful energy. Just beautiful.

Breathtaking!This spiritual gem should not be missed while your visiting Disney. Off International Drive, near outlets and Sea World, give your soul some well deserved refreshment and spirit a unique lift. Youll be so happy you did.

One of the best worship places near Orlando. Highly spacious and is having very good surroundings. Gift shop is having lots of variety valuable items.They can accommodate around 3k worshipper for a single mass. They do have an adoration Chappel immediately behind the Altar, which is very nice and Calm and beautiful place to worship.

Its a pilgrims church as most people who attend the church are visiting. Lots of parking. several masses celebrated daily and more on Sundays. Has a good spacious front plaza to walk and a small pool where you can watch the fishes and small turtle and sometimes the Canadian geese. It has a meditation garden by the side of the Church just be careful of the small reptiles (Anole, Gecko, rarely small iguana). Church gift shop has a good selection of religious items and artworks.

Usually, I don’t see any young adults and teenagers in church, but these tourists were actually attracted to this cathedral. It is very large and spacious and is a very beautiful cathedral. There is even a huge manger scene near the main lobby. See the magnificence for yourself. However, there is no sound dampening, so the priest presiding can be loud at times, as it is a huge cathedral. However, overall it is worth visiting.

Beautiful! Love it! Plenty of peace.

Beautiful Minor Basilica. Always welcoming. Totally donation supported.

Peaceful. Daily confessions. Museum. Awesome gift shop. Not yet feeling tourist invaded which is a good thing. Churches are a place of worship and prayer - not posing for prayer. The Lords Prayer is sung in the traditional hymn which everyone knows - yay! Love the choir - would love to hear more traditional music since the church goers are mostly tourists. Ill be back!

Beautiful place to worship. Love the gift shop.

Its a beautiful place, full of peace and the presence of God. The choir is very beautiful and the atmosphere of reverence and tone of the Mass allows a connection with God. They are currently remodeling some areas. Its getting more beautiful !!

Beautiful basilica!!! Beautiful surrounding grounds, especially the Rosary praying garden

A beautiful Basilica. We were blessed to be here for the Epiphiny of our Lord. The Nativity was breathtakingly beautiful. The Cantor, Kelly, has a wonderful voice. When come to Orlando you really need to visit the Basilica and attend Mass.

Been going for years. Great church. We come here when we come from Texas.

What a beautiful Mass! Our God is great!The Basilica is absolutely gorgeous. The Rosary garden is lovely, it is also The Way of the Cross. The variety of trees and foliage colors bring you to a peaceful state of awe of Gods creation. Please make this a most visit on your next trip to Orlando. This is not a parish, it is a mission for tourism so our donations are greatly appreciated to keep up this beautiful mission.

Beautiful, peaceful environment. The Basilica has beautiful artwork and offers many gifts in the gift shop. We arrived when the pipe organ is in construction, but hope to return to see the main chapel!

Beautiful Catholic Basilica! The location is perfect for tourists around the world to find a Catholic Mass in the middle of the Orlandos tourist area. They have a great souvenir store right next to the Basilica as well as a beautiful garden to walk around and pray the Rosary!

Awesome church. They recently purchased a new pipe organ that cost over one million. Visited the church Christmas Eve. They have a Nativity scene in the church. Professionally done. If youre in the area visit this church you will be impressed.

Its one of the most beautiful churches Ive ever seen. Simple but majestic! A must for all catholic visitors!

I felt so close to our Lord .So charming and quaint. Outdoor rosary garden. Also has a smaller chapel

First Basilica Ive ever visited, and I loved it. Not an actual parish, but a travel ministry. Very inviting atmosphere, and the volunteers are stupendous. Very welcoming and interacted with traveling Catholics who needed to go to mass while on vacation. Beautiful stain glass windows, statues, and the organ was gorgeous.

Our daughter brought us to the Basilica for mass on Sunday while visiting the Orlando Florida area. The shrine was absolutely breathtaking. In addition the music during mass was beautiful. I thought the sound system for the priest could have been a little better. Most of the congregation appeared to be visitors to the area. Since this is not a parish, two separate collections were taken during mass for the upkeep of the shrine. Onsite was a great gift shop with a wonderful selection of religious items / gifts. A must see if you would like to attend mass while in Orlando area.

My creator your presence lives here thanks to all that contributed towards this beautiful home a place of dreams and prayers

Beautiful but too modern for my taste, especially the crucifix. The stained glass may be the best Ive seen in the U.S. The whole campus is nicely done, so dont limit your visit to the church itself.

Great place for us visitors in the Disney resorts to visit our Lord and spend some time with Him and hear his His Word.

A Basilica in Orlando founded by an Irish priest (from Mayo) and his determined congregation in Orlando.This is a wonderful shrine with lots of hidden delights all around the grounds. Honestly, you dont need to be religious to pay a visit and marvel at the beautiful craftsmanship throughout or the stunning artwork on display.The story as to how the Bascilica came to be is also fascinating. If you are going to Orlando, this is worth a visit. And the outlets are next door!Sadly, Monseigneur Joseph Fachtna Harte passed away on the 30th May 2020. RIP. Lets hope those working at the shrine continue his ministry into the future and build on his vision for the National Shrine.

Beautiful. Only mass in English is not given mass in Spanish.....hermosa. Solo misa en ingles no se da misa en español....

Whenever were staying at Disney we go to mass here. Its beautiful and peaceful. Over the past 10 years the renovations have been nice to see. Cant wait till the pipe organ is complete. The choir is amazing. The downside is getting there and getting out. 2 lane road is congested since it leads to the outlet mall too.

A nice chapel and a nice service, a small museum and a large shop with sum very nice gifts.

Beautiiful Catholic Church. Attended mass and toured grounds. Gift shop and bells

Beautiful Catholic shrine. I highly recommend visiting if you are there. They have an excellent gift shop as well.

This Shrine is very beautiful and peaceful.!A wonderful place to go to the Adoration Chapel for meditation. They have daily Mass at noon everyday except Sat.If you are in Orlando, dont miss the opportunity to visit Mary Queen Of The Universe Shrine..it is right in the middle of all the business of the area...awesome!!

Quiet and peaceful, a totally beautiful place to pray and be still with God.

Beautiful serene church. Felt very peaceful

A very beautiful church with no regular congregation. It is a stand alone church for traveling Catholics in Orlando, Florida. They are getting a new Organ and pipes to be dedicated soon. Very nice gift shop and Rosary Garden and Chapel. It is also home to the Mother and Child Shrine.

It is such a beautiful Church. You cannot belong to this church as it is open to the world. It is massive and stunning. The statues on the grounds and the stations of the Cross in the garden are a site to behold.

Went here for Christmas Day mass. Wonderful choir performance. Lots of parking too!

A wonderful Basilica to spend quiet time with the Lord.

My Holy Place to come and pray, receive the Sacraments, adoration, say the beautiful stations and visit Our Lady and St Joseph.

The Basilica is unbelievably beautiful inside and out. Best Catholic bookshop I have ever seen. I made my Marian Consecration in the Marian chapel on Oct. 7 (Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary) 2019 before a breathtaking 3-panel mosaic of Our Lady of Guadalupe and persons associated with her apparition in 1531 . It is worth the 1-hour drive from Tampa anytime. A magnificently holy place.

We went there for Sunday service. The service was amazing. The priest had a sense of humor, and the choir was the best Ive heard. If you get chance, go, it was uplifting.

The mass always make feel very peaceful and the gift shop has so many beautiful things

This is one of the most beautiful place to worship. Father makes you feel so welcomecad does everyone there. The grounds are also beautiful. If you get to the Orlando area this is a must see. They have a new pipe organ and the music adds so much to mass.

Needs some improvements... The store is selling less stuff without quality and overprice. The trash closer to Archangel Michael always full and dirty... the rosary garden needs a new renovation. Besides all it is a beautiful sacred spot to explorer between Feb - May, or Sept - Feb when weather is fresher and not so humid.

Its a beautiful Basilica and the gift shop is quite big.

Famous Mother Mary Shrine in Central Florida. Great choir and beautiful church. Located next to Disney world and outlets.

Super pretty! I got to enjoy a Christmas concert, moving.

One of the most beautiful Catholic churches in Orlando and a great place for some peace.

Friendly staff, decor is 1930s Atlantic City with great pictures, model carousel and roller coaster! Fun place to walk around..very clean. There are shops all along the Boardwalk as well as a timeshare, dancehall, ice cream shop, etc.

This is a beautiful Catholic Church with an amazing choir! They have a great gift shop and a lovely Rosary garden. Church-goers come from around the world while on vacation in Orlando.

When you are on vacation in Orlando but not from your vocation this is where to come. It was like representatives of the world races congregated here for holy mass that sunday... beautiful, well kept Rosary garden.

The shrine was very beautiful. I enjoyed the overall experience. I recommend this shrine if you are looking for a religious time with God

Very beautiful grounds.. peaceful..good place to pray and reflect. Highly recommend a visit to attend Mass.

Nice place of worship. It is also well maintained. Nice statues of saints and verySpacious spaces. Nice Xmas decorations and nativity.To visit.

What a beautiful Church. Its a unique sort of place as it is built for all of the traveling Catholics that need to go to Holy Mass when they are on vacation. Its a unique experience. Also, check out the gift shop it has some amazing devotional items and souvenirs. Its a great place!

Its a very beautiful Catholic Church highlighting the Virgin Mary come get your religion seriously though beautiful Church beautiful grounds they knew didnt have somebody monitoring the drop-off pick-up location though the taxi seem to think its a cabstand and clog it up. Also cars are parked in the bus parking area so the charter buses cannot park in the bus parking area.

A great place to go for peace and quiet in a religious setting. Their gift shop is awesome!! Also check out the garden. Next to premium outlets so you can go shopping after.

A Beautiful Basilica, under interior remodel when we visited. The Basilica has a large nave, with room for thousands; true to Marys patronage there are many beautiful Marian windows. There is a very large Catholic bookstore. Despite its proximity to I-4 and theme parks traffic was manageable. My family was seated just thirty minutes after we left our Disney hotel. The Basilica of the National Shrine is a great option to meed your Sunday Obligation while on vacation in Orlando (and a beautiful Shrine in its own right).

Beautiful cathedral! Stained glass, huge statues & the pipe organ! Unbelievable! Very peaceful areas, fountains & ponds. Just a special place for people to come to.

Great church that just feels good

Gorgeous church, reminiscent of a European Cathedral, but modern. Amazing grounds. Definitely worth a trip to if ever in Orlando

Beautiful church, lovely landscaping, friendly community.

I had a beautiful experience. The church is beautiful. There is an adoration chapel there as well which is awesome.

Went on a tourLearned so much more about this beautiful BasilicaAlways feel at home when I visit ... I actually ran into fellow pilgrims from Michigan

The choir is AWESOME!! I think they are straight from Disney live performances. Plus the new organ adds a nice touch! Great place to get your pray on

An amazing place to go to Mass while on vacation in Orlando. This is not a local parish but a basilica for the visitors to Orlando. Truly the universal church!

Beautiful church with a gift shop.next door for religious themed gifts.

Beautiful Basilica. Architecture, buildings and grounds are beautiful.

Absolutely Beautiful. A Great Place of Worship.

So peaceful and staff is welcoming. If you go for mass or just to sit to all God bless. Great place.

Holy ground. Beautiful artwork, inspiring spirituality.

I love the basilica. Its so beautiful. The new pipe organ is so impressive. Bill plays it so well. Father Paul is so open and welcoming to all. Snd last the chour is professional. I love listening to them .

Beautiful altar and interesting paintings exhibited there.

Great place to visit!

Beautiful Basilica with a brand new pipe organ - concert quality - very impressive sound to go with the visual beauty inside. And of course you get the Bread of Life here and a peaceful place to pray in a very busy area with lots of hustle and bustle

Beautifully designed, with a lovely staff. Open 7 days a week, with an extensive gift shop. The stained glass inside the cathedral is wonderfully detailed.

In the middle of all the madness. Worth a visit just to spend a few hours to contemplate. Gift shop was a surprise and worth the trip as we found some amazing gifts for family and friends.

My favorite beautiful church, very popular for tourists. And they have amazing choirs.

So beautiful and theres a good feeling there. The main sanctuary is closed for renovation during the week until November, but you can still see the little side chapel with the blue stained glass. And the book/gift store is great.

I feel closer to Our Blessed Lady in this Basilica.

It is a beautiful modern church. I dont know about the services quality, I have never attended a mass there. I left the Basilica with a very bad feeling, a lady that was working at the gift shop in the cashier treated me in a very rude manner. In the end of my visit I really regreted to had spent my time there.

Jesus is King, thats all I can say. Other than that, very happy that this place is there. Lovely, beautiful, clean and friendly!

Beautiful Church. Loved spending time there. Want to visit again just to sit and reflect.

Beautiful mass. Great chorus and pianist.Blessed and lovely place.

Very beautiful Church inside and out. The walking rosary path is also pretty with flowers and plaques. The gift shop is very well stocked with most anything you could think of.
