What People Are Saying About Universal Studios Hollywood

Lights, camera, action! Some of the world's most memorable movies and TV shows have been shot at this sprawling San Fernando Valley studio over the years, and since opening its doors to the public in the 60s, visitors have become part of the action with behind-the-scenes access. Along with the famous Studio Tour (a 45-minute tram ride led by high-energy tour guides), the movie-theme rides are what get people going. Jurassic Park is a dinosaurs-on-the-loose boat trip with an 80-foot raft plunge (wear a poncho if you're in the back row); Revenge of the Mummy is a lightning-fast, twist-and-turn…
Editor's Tips
- Save Time:
- Making your way up and down the enormous Starway escalators can be time-consuming. Exhaust the lower Studio Center area before returning to the Entertainment Center.

Very cool place
by laspaghettifighter at Citysearch
Spent a good amount of my childhood playing between Universal Studios and Disneyland. While Disney is still king of little kiddie amusements, I really loved Universal Studios! I came back here a few years ago and my favorite is the backlot tour. You can see the scene from war of the worlds which was a pretty awesome scene. The food here is not the best but you can always dine at the Citywalk just outside of the walls.

Awesome time.
by universalrocks at Citysearch
I love this theme park. It's always been one of my favorites. Theres just enought to do, and the studio tour will please movie people and even non movie people. I suggest that you purchase the front of the line pass, it's a bit pricey but worth it. Go to universal you'll love it.
- Pros: Awesome, cool rides, and shows.
- Cons: Bit pricey

great time
by grabtrees at Citysearch
this place is great, they have so much to do inside, but i wouldn't expect any super scarey rides, more adventure like, but still a great time!! the food of coarse is over priced, but what theme park's aren't? admission isn't too bad either.

This place rocks!!
by UniversalFan1 at Citysearch
If you are ever looking for something fun and exciting to do in LA... go to Universal Studios Hollywood! In all my years of visiting Universal each time gets better and better. My kids are 10 and 15 and they always have a blast riding the movie themed rides. They especially like the Revenge of the Mummy ride.
Overall, this is a great time for both family and those of all ages!

For the money, go to Disneyland or Six Flags
by kiercemartin at Citysearch
This place doesn't have the magic of Disneyland, and doesn't have the great rides of Six Flags. Not that it's all bad, there are some decent rides, and it covers the bases of any normal theme park, but it's a distant third to Disneyland and Six Flags.
