Universal Studios Hollywood
Theme Park · Universal City, California
Universal Studios Hollywood sits in Universal City, on the hillside edge of the San Fernando Valley just over the pass from Hollywood. It is both a working film and television studio and a theme park, and that mix is the reason to come rather than a bigger park elsewhere. The Studio Tour tram rolls through backlots and sound stage areas where productions still shoot. Around it sit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, Jurassic World, and a run of thrill rides and shows. The park is compact and steep. An upper lot and a lower lot are linked by long escalators, so your route matters. It is aimed at teens, adults and families with children tall enough for the main rides, and crowds peak on holidays, summer weekends and during the autumn Halloween event. It is smaller than the big resort parks, so it feels full quickly. Plan one long day, buy a dated ticket ahead, and confirm current prices and ride closures before you go.

Opening hours change by day and season, but the park commonly opens in the morning and closes in the evening, with longer days in summer and on holidays and shorter days in winter. Some areas open later than the gate, and rides close for maintenance without much warning. The Studio Tour usually starts early and runs through the day, with the last departures well before closing. CityWalk, the free shopping and dining street outside the gate, keeps later hours than the park. Confirm the calendar for your exact date; the first hour is the quietest.
