(Oh yes, one of the best attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood doesn't even charge admission. The Universal CityWalk is a delight in its own right. Also see the separate page about the history of Universal Pictures .) Parking : Both outdoor parking lots and indoor parking structures. Expect a fairly long walk back from the parking structures (through CityWalk ) to the main gate. (Parking can be free with an annual pass.)

Admission Price :

Ticket prices include both the theme park and the studio tram tour .

Since 2016, Universal followed Disneyland's lead by introducing a fluctuating price schedule that charges higher prices on crowded days, and lower prices on uncrowded days.  So, determining exactly what you might pay to enter the park has become a lot tricker.

Generally speaking Universal's ticket prices are just slightly lower than Disneyland's, but in some instances, they are actually higher.  However, it's often possible to get discounts for Universal if you buy online. 

Also, the prices of Universal's annual passes are much lower than Disneyland's, and a good deal (although that may be an admission that there isn't much demand for frequent return visits to their park).

Click here for the most current ticket prices at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Hours : Open daily (except Christmas & Thanksgiving.)  Park hours vary a lot, so be sure to check before your visit. In general, the usual winter hours are 10 AM to 5 PM. /  In the summer , the usual hours are 9 AM to 8 PM. / In the fall, it's usually 10 AM to 7 PM. That's for weekdays - they usually stay open an extra hour on weekends. Phone for details and updates. ( Click here for an updated calendar of their hours.)

Planning a Trip to Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood Introduction

universal studio tour universal city ca

It wasn't that long ago that you could find everything you needed know about Universal Studios Hollywood on just one web page. People who visited back then often think they've seen it all and don't need to go back again. They would be wrong.

Over the past few years, Universal has produced some of the most exciting theme park experiences in California. It takes several pages just to cover everything you can see and do there, and if you haven't visited lately, it's time to think about going back.

Is Universal Studios Hollywood Right for You?

Universal wows its visitors with innovative, thrilling rides, but it's not for everyone. If you enjoy (and can tolerate) fast-paced thrill rides and don't mind if they're the motion simulator type, you'll probably love it.

If you have physical issues that prevent you from going on fast rides - or if you prefer your rides slow and steady, you may not find enough to do to justify the cost of a ticket. Small people (less than 40 inches tall) and big people (whose body shape may prevent safety restraints from fastening) may also discover that they can only go on a limited number of rides.

To find out more about what the park is like, and to see it all -without leaving your chair, check out the Universal Studios slideshow .

Universal Studios Hollywood Planner

These resources are everything you need to get started planning your Universal Studios experience. Allow a full day, and you can enjoy everything they have to offer.

  • Universal Studios Complete Ride Guide : Detailed descriptions and tips for every ride and attraction, with height and size restrictions.
  • How to Get Universal Studios Tickets : The box office is the worst way to go. Find out how to get them ahead of time, how to get a discount - and learn about a ticketing loophole that could save you money.
  • What's New - and What's Coming - at Universal Studios Hollywood : Not only what's next, but what's been done in the past few years.
  • Tips for a Perfect Day at Universal : You'll have more fun, stress less, and amaze your companions with how much you know if you follow even half of these tips.
  • Hotels Near Universal Studios : You can do Universal in a day, but you might be too tired to drive home afterward - or you may want to visit other attractions in the area. This guide highlights some of the nicest places to stay nearby.

When to Go to Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal is crowded during summer and long school holidays like spring and winter break. They get even crazier around Christmas when you may encounter the longest lines of the year.

In the summer, it gets really hot at midday, but the hours are longer. You'll have few worries about getting rained out during California's rainy winter season because most of the fun rides are indoors.

Annual Events at Universal Studios Hollywood

Halloween Horror Nights : Every October, Universal puts on a special event, featuring some of their scariest slasher villains. Even the "chainsaw guys" who go around terrorizing people have to try out for their jobs. You'll have to buy a separate ticket or an all-day package to enjoy the park and this bloody scare-fest on the same day.

Harry Potter Christmas and Grinchmas :  The Grinch stole Christmas, but then he brought it back - and it's a good thing he did because the holiday celebration at Wizarding World is excellent. You don't need a separate ticket for these.

What's Nearby

Universal CityWalk , just outside the park entrance is a lively shopping and dining complex open to the public. It's a good place to eat dinner or to do a little shopping, or even go to a movie after a day at Universal Studios Hollywood.

If the Universal studio tour got you interested in how movies are made, Warner Bros Studios is just up the street, and they have a great public tour.

Getting To Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood 100 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91608 Universal Studios website

The Metro Red Line also stops near the park, and you can catch a shuttle bus from there to the entrance. The Metro system covers much of the LA area. Find out more information about the Metro Red Line here.

Universal offers a shuttle from lots of Los Angeles hotels with a one-day admission ticket. Get details on their website .

Some tour companies offer admission and transportation packages from San Diego. They can cost as much as $40 per person over full ticket price with no chance for discounts, and they limit your time at the park. Consider this option only if you have no others.

Universal Resort Just Released More Details and Photos of It's Epic Universe Debuting in 2025

"Epic" is an understatement.

It’s about to get "epic" at Universal Orlando Resort as the theme park has announced details and shared an official first look of its upcoming Universal Epic Universe.

Universal first announced that the park will be home to it's east coast version of Super Nintendo World and revealed further details of its five immersive lands in a press release with Travel + Leisure on Tuesday.

Joining Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal’s Volcano Bay, Universal Epic Universe will “feature breathtaking, multi-sensory environments, impeccable design and innovative technology throughout – creating an entirely new level of experience that will forever change theme park entertainment.”

The park will house five “worlds” that will feature attractions, dining, shopping and more. And we now know those lands will include Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, and Super Nintendo World. Across these immersive lands, guests will discover over 50 “awe-inspiring” attractions. Its opening will mark the Orlando resort destination’s fourth theme park, transforming the resort into a weeklong vacation destination.

Its Harry Potter-themed land is “where guests will discover a different era of the wizarding world in an all-new land that blends 1920s wizarding Paris from Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.”

Super Nintendo World, the third land of its kind following versions in Japan and California , is where guests can step through the iconic green pipe and into the world of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and other beloved characters. In How To Train Your Dragon ­­— Isle of Berk “guests can soar with dragons in a colorful world filled with Viking adventures based on the wildly popular How to Train Your Dragon film franchise.”

For fans of Universal’s classic monsters, Dark Universe is “where guests encounter everything from the experiments of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein to the shadowy landscape where monsters roam in a world of myth and mystery.”

The announcement also included further details on Celestial Park, the “heart of Epic Universe” and the first guests will encounter, home to “breathtaking gardens” and serving as a portal to each land. Here guests can “wander through lush living gardens nestled along shimmering waters surrounded by stunning architecture inspired by astronomical and mythological elements.” 

But it’s not all relaxation, Celestial Park will feature Starfall Racers, a dual-launching racing coaster that will have competing ride vehicles claim victory as they rush across 5,000 feet of track at speeds of up to 62 mph. A first for Universal, the roller coaster will have the two coaster vehicles perform an inverted crisscross.

The land will also feature Constellation Carousel, interactive wet-play area Astronomica, fountain shows, and a range of both quick-service and full-service restaurants, including The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant and The Oak & Star Tavern.

The theme park will be adjacent to three new Universal hotels, including Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort. Universal Helios Grand Hotel will be located inside of Epic Universe, a first for the resort. Universal Helios Grand Hotel will feature 500 rooms with “one-of-a-kind” park views and its own dedicated theme park entrance for guests. Epic Universe promises to “integrate energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices.”

Universal Epic Universe will be located “just a few miles” from its current offerings, with resort wide ride transportation provided for guests. Further details will be released in the coming months, including an interactive preview center set to debut later this year.
