Parking can be a bit confusing. Arriving right at opening and taking advantage of single rider lines (aka no lines ) will get you far! It's possible to do every attraction in the park in one day!

Karina Flores

Fast pass is so worth it, get it if you can. Top 3, H.P. Forbidden journey, Simpson's & the mummy. Skip shrek 4-D, kids will enjoy it though. And check out Laika display of stop motion puppets

Ruby

This is my favorite theme park that I've been to. There's more to see and do than just rides but the rides that are there are REALLY fun! Definitely go for a couple days!

Nadine Estrella Vacas

We really enjoy our day there. The price is high (110$ per person) but it was worth it. If you buy your ticket by the webpage, you’ll enter one hour before

Daviana Smith

The Simpson’s Lard Lad classic pink donuts are seriously yummy and can easily be eaten in 4 servings. 100% worth the calories.

Eric Hess

The best ride by far is the Hollywood Studio Tour . It is well worth the wait in line . Have been to Universal in FL several times and this ride covers several of their and they don't have the studios.

Luke

Try getting here early. You'll beat the crowds and get a lot of rides done. Especially Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, one of the best rides in the park !

Eva Zoubková

Awesome place! Front of line pass was not needed (end of August, Wednesday) - max waiting time 25 mins. Arrive before the park opens to enjoy full day.

Brian Strauss

Can't hold a candle to D-Land or Knott's Berry Farm in terms of rides or production values. Exception is the Harry Potter world which was very well done. Fast pass is spendy but a life saver

Rainbow

You can't come to LA without passing by universal studios. Upgrade to "front of the line " tickets its totally worth it. VIP tickets kind of expensive but is the best!!

Maha Abdullah

It's a bit different from the one in Florida there is no roller coasters here. But i really enjoyed it I loved the Jurassic park especially the new game and the walking dead OMG I almost died their ????

Q ♡

You must save a day for it and come early to enjoy the sickest rides.Mummy is a disappointment but the Jurassic Ride is amazing. Dont leave before taking the studio tour also and go single-u dont wait

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Harry Potter attractions are really fun and entertaining. They paid a lot of attention to small details. Lines are pretty long though.

Hamid Alan9ary

A truly memorable experience at Universal ???????? thnx 2 our guide Mary as well . We enjoyed our VIP experience which other theme parks haven’t matched! Enjoy the Harry Potter light show at night

Jan Rosenberg

Great fun! My favourites were Springfield and Studio Tour . Have enough time to visit the attractions and rides. Expect to wait 30-45 minutes to the popular attractions . Summertime probably more.

Michael Mednick

King Kong 360 3D and Transformers 3D are worth the wait. Don't like long lines ? use the single rider line . You can get right on in no time. Waterworld is a must see. It never gets old. See it at night

Annie ???? Jalota

A lot of rides are pretty similar (using videos/animation to create an immersive 3D experience). Niece and nephew loved it though so it’s a thumbs up from me.

ℳ????????♍

Sure, if you're visiting SoCal, do come here but don't compare it to Orlando's that would be unfair, it's smaller but pretty fun and exciting. Plan your visit ahead of time, LA's traffic is inevitable

Kaan Demiröz

Harry Potter , Transformers and Mummy rides are very much fun. The Studio Tour is of course a classic and the attractions there are also awesome. Make sure you visit the Special Effects show too!

Murat

Great fun! Take all the rides, watch the shows and have great time. You may really get wet at WaterWorld. Mummy (ride) is the least interesting. Simpsons, Minions and Transformers rides are amazing!

Madison L

Definitely recommend riding the mummy!! Long wait but definitely worth it!! Also love the transformers ride and the Jurassic Park ride !! If you go check out those rides and also the studio tour !!

Mary Hobb Jacobs-Bailey

Go early about one pm or earlier gets so crowded you can't get around. We went at 10:30am and left at five. And still didn't get to see every thing. It would take two or three days to see it all.

Hadeel Omer

Highlights for me are Simpsons, Transformers and The Mummy rides . Harry Potter and Minions rides are great as well . Water World, Special Effects and Animal Actors are all awesome shows!

THE Z WORLD ZAHRAN

Get a free map and plan your rides accordingly. If your solo there is a shorter line , so you done spend a lot of time inline. If your at the entrance by 10am you can do all the rides by closing time.

Maxim Kazantsev

Studio tour is awesome, if you complete all the rides and you still have some time left, take the tour again - it will worth it, every guide is not the same.

Annabel Chick

Fun rides. I recommend the Universal Studios Tour ride but it gets very crowded so do that one in the morning. The stores outside of the amusement park are real nice. There are lots of restaurants .

Jeff Stockett

The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride goes through Hogwarts castle which is half the fun. So don't be afraid to knock out the others first even if it means a longer line for that one.

Diana Vasquez

there are several shops, they often are pricey do to the location and it also has merchandise of famous movies and popular attractions , over all, great and fun place for the whole family

K Balaris

Harry Potter 's World was awesome (& I am not a fan of the books or movies ). Hit those rides at opening or late in the day when lines are not so bad. The chicken @restaurant in HP area was outstanding

Kong Navapanich

No trip to LA is complete without a day spent at universal studios. The studio tour is great and was worth the 1 hour wait. Try a giant donut and some flaming Moe's at Moe's tavern.

DJ ????????

With all the renos going on right now, the studio tour is shorter. The Waterworld stunt show is definitely worth seeing, but make sure you get a seat in the back - unless you enjoy being drenched.

Kishan Ganapathi

The Despicable Me, Transformers and Jurassic Park rides are very good. Also, do not miss the studio tour . The wait times reduce drastically around 7pm (after most families with kids leave).

Erik Rowley

As far as thrill rides there are not a lot here and I would recommend the Florida park or Disneyland, but If you're a movie buff this park is incredible as it is located on the Universal Film sets!

JoJo Bear

If you live in Los Angeles and want a Universal Studios Season Pass, pay the extra dollars and get the FRONT OF THE LINE pass.. you will not regret it.. get in front of every attraction and go through

MahaJ

Always go for "in front of the line " card.

Josh Barbosa

We went on Memorial Day weekend. Park was very busy. Everything was amazingly smooth. Ride lines , food lines , tour line etc. impressive!

Marvin Andujar

Great place! The transformers 3D ride is a must try. Also get a minion cup from one of the stores :-). Plus its a great place for a family trip. I give this place 4.5 out 5.

Pablo Virzi

The best park I've ever been. Go early and enjoy all day. You can't miss The Simpsons Ride , Transformer the Ride and take your dinner in Springfield.

Karen Do

TRANSFORMER ride is THE BEST! Kids love it & it's also nice that they make it easy to get photo ops with Magatron & Optimus! Get to the park early & make a beeline here before going on anything else.

James Parker

What a great day out loved the tour and the 3d king kong part. The new transformers ride is amazing. Very shocked there wasn't any wifi in the whole park .

Palak Gadodia

Go early, get in single riders if you want to do all rides without standing more than 5-10minutes in a line . And if you do not mind not sitting with the people who you came with.

mizz lin

The wand shop inside the Harry Potter town is a huge hit. Also don't miss the Studio tour , you can see Wisteria Lane , Fast & Furious props etc

Edmond Wong

Go early... Go directly to the lower lot and go on all of the rides there. Best rides are on the lower lot (transformers, the mummy and Jurrasic Park ). Then go back to the upper lot and back lot tram

Pengiran Milzam

Go to The Simpsons ride . It's great fun! And you should go to Transformers: The Ride 3D last. You'll leave Universal Studios feeling super happy.

Diego Gomez

I recommend to do the studio your early in the morning so you don't get insane long lines in the afternoon. The burgers at Hollywood grill are great, must try.!

Sherry Ren

Buy a minion sipper and you can have a huge cup of soda for free which will pretty much last you for the day. If not, any refills will be $0.99 each time so if you plan to buy one, buy early.

Sonjoe

Tour is good. But be aware. All atrractions except Tour is only fun park . Good for children. Better if you buy Front of line tickets, it will save lot of your time in lines , couple of hours.

Ricardo

Arrived 11:30, left at 7pm. With front of the line passes got to see everything in the park once - max queue time 5 mins, well worth it. Highlights were Transformers, Despicable Me.

Todd Weisrock

Waterworld show is great. Animal and special effects shows are lame. Studio tour is the highlight but a good guide makes a difference. Loved the rides.

Antonio Burrowes

The mummy ride was super fun, the studio def recommended, the walking dead tour and the transformer ride ! You can't go wrong with any of these
