Universal Studios Hollywood

Great time with the family. Loved the rides that had child swap rooms. As we have a family of 2 kids 2 and under, that was nice. I wish they used plastic straws instead of paper ones they give you with drinks. It was busy but the lines for everything moved fast. We had a great time and loved the studio tour. Mario land was super cool but very bright during the day because the sun would shine off the ground because it was shiny. You could also not take strollers into Mario land. I get it, it's tight quarters but having to carry a baby while being there was rough. Overall we had a great time and will be back.

Much can be shared, but overall, it's always a wonderful experience. My son and I were able to experience all the rides and shows, starting from 8:30am-6:00pm on a Saturday. We selected general admission since we've been to Universal numerous times, parked in general parking for $35 early, for the closest spot, enjoying the scenic walk in. One of the VIP sales reps almost got me on VIP experiences, but they were rather expensive and hard to measure whether they were worth it or not. We stuck with the single rider line. We were unable to ride together on some, but it helped cut down on our wait times to touch em all. Suffice to say, we had a blast, and I'll always recommend. Regarding the food and drink, it's moderately priced, considering. Not bad one could say. I loved how easy it was to get a beer as well.. and again, moderately priced. We will be back to ride the new adult only roller-coaster by Fast and Furious.

We went on a Friday during end of April and it was great memorable experience. We got express pass which saved us lot of time during our visit. Park wait times are less during morning hours but increases after 11 AM. Recommend express pass if you are planning universal as single day itinerary. All information is available on their app and my son really liked the Nintendo world . If you missed the morning to visit Nintendo then keep that plan towards end of the day when the park gets settled with less crowd. All plan which deck can planned in first half and second half of the day.

Finally, we visited Universal Studios Hollywood on a weekday to avoid the crowds and long wait times, and we were able to get tickets for just $108 per person. As a result, we were able to complete every ride with minimal waiting time. We thoroughly enjoyed the Harry Potter ride, the Mummy ride, the Jurassic Park ride, the Transformers ride, and the Mario Kart ride. Additionally, we had a great time on the studio tour, which was particularly special since they were celebrating their 60th anniversary. By visiting on a weekday, we were able to make the most of our day and experience all the park had to offer without the usual hustle and bustle.

We had a wonderful time at Universal Studios Hollywood. The Harry Potter Ride and Transformers ride were amazing and immersive. The food was good! Better than Orlando and the lines went fairly quick. Next time I’d upgrade to the express pass for sure. Great for kids taller than 48 inches!

I had an unforgettable day at Universal Studios Hollywood! Visiting on a weekday was definitely the right choice as it meant much shorter wait times for most rides. I managed to experience almost everything the park has to offer, from the magical world of Harry Potter to the town of Springfield from The Simpsons. Each ride, including the standout Transformers ride, was a thrill. I highly recommend arriving early and visiting on a weekday to fully enjoy everything in one day. The entire experience was fantastic—I loved every minute of it!

Absolutely fantastic!!!! Me and my family usually go to the Orlando Resort, this was our first time visiting Universal Hollywood and it was amazing. Lots to do without being overwhelming. Loved the Tour Bus, I wish we had something similar in Orlando.

Great day out to experience the thrills and rides of Universal Hollywood.

The studios tour is excellent and included as part of your park ticket. You get to see a working lot and lot of different scenes and stages. The tour guide was great and very knowledgable.

The theme park is a fun day out and has lots of different rides to experience. There aren’t too many ‘roller coasters’ here, instead with a focus on experience rides or motion simulators. The theming throughout is good and there’s lots of food and drinks available. Nintendo Land is definitely worth seeing, although can be very crowded.

Universal Express (fast track ride queues) is a MUST if you are visiting. I do not see how we would have gotten on any rides if we didn’t have the fast pass, the normal lines were long. Note: you cannot use the Universal Express on the Mario Kart ride and will have a very long wait for this (we waited around 120 minutes) and I am not sure it is worth this long a wait….

We were so lucky to be able to do the VIP experience, and it was amazing! Breakfast, rides, show, Amazon buffet lunch (with crab legs!), a personal bid tour, and first in line passes all day! Truly amazing experience. Thank you, guide Tom, you were knowledgeable, funny, and flexible!

Was amazing going there with my family! It was so unique seeing places from movies and the attention of detail in the rides and little sets. Although on the Harry Potter ride, the ride took incredibly long due to the ride not working and when I finally got on, it had the same problem and I just sat there for some while. Still was fun though!

Our family went for the 1st time on May 23rd to celebrate our son's birthday. It was amazing! The most fun we've had in an amusement park. We loved the rides. Highly recommend the Jurassic park and transformers ride! Download their app. It's very helpful to check on how long each wait time is for each ride, and it helps to keep track of your progress in the Super mario world. It has many other uses as well. We can't wait to come back! 😀

Here are some refined tips for your visit:

1. Opt for off-peak times, avoiding school breaks and summer months. This not only allows for easier dining reservations at Todes Cafe in Mario Bros but also reduces crowds.

2. During off-peak seasons, a fast pass isn't necessary. We managed to experience almost all rides in a single day with minimal wait times, maxing out at 15 minutes.

3. Bring refillable water bottles to avoid frequent $5 water purchases. Also, bring a backpack and pack a lunch! Food and drink are permissible

4. Skip preferred parking; general parking is conveniently close.

5. Ensure you make the most of your visit by attending for the entire duration, from opening to closing time.

7. Purchase the ‘extras’ at your own discretion.
I did purchase two Mario power bands for Super Nintendo World and I did also purchase a Wand for Harry Potter. I personally did not see the value of these things and think we could’ve done without as you only use them once.

6. Bring motion, sickness medication, just in case you are sensitive to motion. A lot of the rides are motion simulators.

This was an amazing experience and I definitely plan on coming back!

One of the best experiences of the popular movie themes. Harry Potter, Transformers had the best rides but we enjoyed all the rides. A great place to be to treat your family. Food could have been better but the rides and the quality of everything else made up to this one downside. Definitely recommend getting the express pass, we were able to go twice or thrice on some rides due to the express pass. Mario world was good too but it’s over hyped imo.

Great theme park! We had a good experience here. We did it all in one day, which I think is sufficient. The express pass was great and we skipped all of the línes. We really enjoyed the Harry Potter and Nintendo areas. Nintendo World is so stunning and picturesque!

Also, make sure you bring a water bottle because water is expensive there and you can fill it for free throughout the park!

This place is bound to put a smile on your face and help make you feel like a kid again.

Loved the Studio Tour..certainly remains an active area with numerous areas being used for productions today.

Lots of food choices and rides. This is a place the whole family will enjoy.

What an experience! Much greater than my expectation.
Surprisingly the lines for the rides were short. Max 15 mins waiting in the weekend. I think as there are a lot of attractive shops out there, people just don’t obsess to the rides. Overall wholesome experience with 4D technology.

Extremely fun experience. Loved the Harry Potter world the most. Only comments I would have made is that it would be nice to have more for little ones to do as my daughter could only go on one ride and then had to wait on us for the rest of the day.

This was my 2nd time to visit US Hollywood. And though I have done most everything, I still found it fascinating and had so much fun! Yes, I have done everything except thrill rides. I'm too scared for that, but thrill rides are not too many. Mostly are just for fun to ride and experience with. This 2nd visit was mainly for Super Nintendo World. It's incredible! Both kids and adults will enjoy in this part of the park.

Amazing trip the day after Memorial Day. We showed up at the park at 9AM and was on our first ride by 9:30AM. We left around 6:30PM after riding every ride in the park.
The highlight was the Studio Tour w/ the King Kong & Jaws stops and also The Mummy ride. Disappoints was the Life of Pets and surprisingly the Mario Kart Bowser challenge. All souvenirs are overpriced as expected, but the park visit is worth the ticket price.

We had so much fun. If we went again, we do a two day, first day with express passes, and the second day would be for Super Nintendo land. There were no fast passes for lines in Super Nintendo area, so lines were long and it was packed. The express passes got us through every ride multiple times for the rest of the park. It was so fun!
