Get ready for the ultimate Hollywood experience!

No visit to Los Angeles will be complete without a day at the world-famous Universal Studios Hollywood™ where your favorite movies and television shows come to life.

Go behind the scenes on the Studio Tour at the world’s largest working movie studio to explore real film sets where Hollywood movies are made. Our tour is hosted by the “Video Studio Tour Guide” Jimmy Fallon as he takes you through the Universal Studios® Backlot, with 13 city blocks built with creative consultation from Steven Spielberg. Experience the epic battle between a terrifying T. rex and the eighth wonder of the world in King Kong 360 3-D and hold on tight as you ride along with the all-star cast from the hit movies on the Studio Tour’s grand finale, Fast & Furious – Supercharged.

Then, face action head-on in heart-pounding rides, shows and attractions – including Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride–3D, and DreamWorks Theatre Featuring Kung Fu Panda – that put you inside some of the world’s most popular movies and TV shows.

Visit the shops and cast spells all throughout Hogsmeade™ in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Explore the mysteries of Hogwarts™ castle and soar above the grounds on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™. And, learn the proper way to approach a Hippogriff before you take off on Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor family-friendly coaster, Flight of the Hippogriff™.

And in 2019, life finds a way when the Indominus rex makes her world premiere at Universal Studios Hollywood™ in the new, high-tech Jurassic World ride, based on the blockbuster film franchise.

All this and more are included with Park admission. Adult and child tickets are available, along with single and multi-day tickets. Or skip the lines with one-time express access to each ride, attraction and seated show with a Universal Express™ ticket. And the VIP Experience is your guaranteed access to Hollywood with your customized, behind-the-scenes tour of Universal Studios Hollywood™.

Tickets are priced seasonally, so please check dates prior to booking.

Be at the entrance when they open, start with one of the most popular rides like Harry Potter ride, then venture down to the lower lot before going through the upper lot. We were able to do almost everything this way - only missing one ride by the time they closed. We saw all the shows too.

We didn't go here. Would not let me remove it.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Universal is fun, but the lines for every ride can exceed 60-100 minutes on holiday weekends, spring/winter break, and all summer. I highly recommend purchasing the Express Pass during those times or you won't get to see more than 4-5 rides a day.

4/5 - Good

Very nice park. A little bit far from the parking lot.
