Los Angeles, California
Universal Studios Hollywood is a film studio and theme park in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. It offers a unique mix of behind-the-scenes movie magic and high-tech thrill rides based on blockbuster franchises.
The World-Famous Studio Tour is a must-do, taking guests through real movie sets. Other highlights include The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Jurassic World – The Ride, and Super Nintendo World.
Take the Studio Tour to see the Psycho House and Jaws. Drink Butterbeer in Hogsmeade. Battle Bowser in Mario Kart. Experience the WaterWorld stunt show. Shop and dine at Universal CityWalk.
Weekdays in the off-season (fall and spring) are least crowded. Arrive early to head straight to Super Nintendo World or the Studio Tour before lines build up.
The park is accessible, with many rides offering transfer devices or dedicated seating. Assistive listening and sign language interpretation (with notice) are available. Express Pass can reduce wait times.
Numerous themed restaurants (Three Broomsticks, Krusty Burger), restrooms, lockers, and family centers are available. Universal CityWalk offers additional dining and entertainment right outside the gates.
Do the Studio Tour in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Use the Single Rider line for Forbidden Journey and Jurassic World. Purchase tickets online in advance for early entry options.
