As someone who loves entertainment and thrills, my recent visit to Universal Studios in Los Angeles was an absolute dream come true! The park itself is immaculately maintained and truly lives up to its reputation as the entertainment capital. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was graced with an array of stunning attractions and experiences. The rides were beyond thrilling, with heart-pounding moments that left me breathless. Transformers: The Ride 3D and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter were definite highlights for me, as they truly transported me into the worlds of my favorite characters. The attention to detail in design and the craftsmanship of the themed areas were truly mind-blowing. Whether exploring the streets of Springfield or walking through the iconic Jurassic Park gates, I felt like I was stepping into my favorite movies and TV shows. But it's not just about the rides and attractions - the park offers so much more. From incredible shows and performances to delicious dining options, there was never a dull moment during my visit. The staff members were friendly, helpful, and full of enthusiasm, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Universal Studios in Los Angeles to everyone, regardless of age or interests. It's a place where magic truly comes to life, leaving visitors with unforgettable memories. I cannot wait to return and experience more of the incredible world that Universal Studios has to offer!
Exceed my expectation! So much fun especially with the Mario experience. The Mario cart ride is interactive and lot of fun! The Harry Potter ride is really good and feel realistic especially the broom ride portion. Drinking in Moe’s Tavern is a dream come true! And Duff beer is pretty good. No wonder Homer love it. The most important part here is the studio ride! The movie sets are excellent and love the transformer, fast and furious, and the Meg live action. The raining and flooding part is also great! At first my trip in LA does not include visiting Universal Studio.. and luckily we change our plan and didn’t regret a bit!
Fun times, if planned accordingly you can get to everything in one day. Plenty of clean bathrooms and water fountains. Food prices are very theme park but mostly good. The longest wait was Super Nintendo 1 hr since it's the newest attraction. In the process of making a roller coaster that will run next to the stairs. Good to see improvements.
It's basically the best theme park on the planet. But also because of that, every attraction has at least 1 hour queue time during a Tuesday. Those new popular ones, such as super Nintendo world will need over 2 hours. The food in the park is surprisingly delicious and everywhere has handicap access. Lastly, make sure you bring sun screens to avoid sun burn!
Fun place to go to in LA. It was my first time going here with my family. I would highly recommend getting there right when they open cause the wait times for all the attractions & rides are a long time. But overall I had a wonderful time there. I would definitely go back there and I look forward to the day when I do.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Had a fabulous time and as an avid Harry Potter fan I loved the whole area and the ride. We also visited Springfield and met Homer it was a very hot day and I was surprised that there wasn't more shelter out of the sun. But the studio tour on the train was amazing.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedYes
Universal in Cali is a must see with Mario World added. Multi levels with escalators for easy access. Split the park into levels will make it easy. Pay the additional 20 bucks for preferred parking unless you don't mind a 20 minute walk to and from the car. After walking all day it was a blessing to walk right out of the park and to the car. Dogs were tired!
The rides were amazing - no doubt. However, Universal has no care at all about your time.. you will wait just as long for food and drinks as you do for rides - there is zero urgency or efficiency at any of the food vendors to get people through in a timely fashion. We waited 25 minutes to get the souvenir cup only to find out that they did not have any despite the sign saying they do. There are no places to just buy drinks. Grab and go food places were out of stock.. had to wait.. they just don't seem to have the knowledge/ability to be respectful of their guests - it's a money grab to make you need to pay for 2 days or pay more than double for the Express pass. We spent less than an hour on rides we did 10 rides/all coasters, 30 minutes eating and 8+ hours waiting in lines. Definitely not my favorite place that we have been to in California. Absolutely loved the meet and greet with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, the transformer ride, the Mummy ride, Mario Land not the ride, and the Harry Potter 3D ride. The areas that you weave through to get to the Mario Ride & Transformers ride were pretty cool on their own. The Studio tour was good too. Overall, I wouldn't go back.
We were able to do the VIP experience. It was really neat, because we had a tour guide take us around and share a lot of history of the park and different shows that were filmed there. My favorite thing was Harry Potter world and Super Mario world. It had just recently opened when we went, and they did such a great job with it. The Mario kart ride was pretty crazy, because so many people were wanting to ride it. Still really fun though.
Extremely fun park for the most part. Some of the rides really suck and seem like not a lot of effort was put in. The Mummy is the best ride at this park for sure. Super Nintendo World is aesthetically great. I wish it was bigger though because Nintendo has so much more to show. The Mario Kart ride, however, is absolutely horrible. Do NOT waste your time. Unless the wait is 10 minutes or less, just don't do it.
