Universal Studios Hollywood

Susan_F, Aug 2026
Fun time at Universal Studios Hollywood! So much to see and do there. Would def add this to your must do’s when in California.

I got lost in the parking lot because the signs were unclear. Clearer signs would be very helpful.

Chat_1, Aug 2026
It would be very helpful to have clear signs showing where the free water refill stations are located. I also think there should be more refill stations throughout the area. I purchased a refillable cup, but unfortunately, finding a place to refill it was quite difficult and inconvenient. Having more clearly marked refill stations would make the experience much easier and more enjoyable for guests

Excellent day out with the children

Jaymin_M, Jul 2026
Excellent day out. Everyone enjoyed it and worth the visit. Food and drink as well as souvenirs a bit pricey though!

Confusing Ticket Inclusions and Misleading Presentation

Romina_I, Jul 2026
I was disappointed by the way the ticket information was presented. I purchased a General Admission ticket and later discovered that valet parking was not included. The issue is not that VIP benefits are exclusive to VIP tickets—I understand that. The issue is that my Ticket Details page displayed the following items with green check marks under the "Inclusions & Exclusions" section: VIP Experience Only: Complimentary Valet Parking VIP Experience Only: Gourmet meal with light refreshments As a customer reviewing my booking, it was reasonable to interpret items marked with green check marks as benefits associated with my ticket. If these benefits were not included with the ticket I purchased, I do not believe they should have appeared as included items on my Ticket Details page. I contacted customer service and provided a screenshot, but my concern was ultimately dismissed. While Viator maintained that the words "VIP Experience Only" were present, I believe the overall presentation is confusing and can easily lead customers to misunderstand what is included with their purchase. My recommendation to Viator is simple: display only the inclusions and exclusions that apply to the specific ticket purchased, or present VIP benefits separately. This would help avoid confusion and prevent other customers from having the same experience. The attraction itself was great, but the booking information could be much clearer.

Absolutely wonderful

We needed more time to enjoy all rides

Mario_B, Jun 2026
We thought that on weekdays there’s no crowd but I keep forgetting this place is the happiest place.

Best 25th wedding anniversary ever

I had so many expectations going in and all were met with flying colors. The jurrassic park ride i would go on all day every day

Colin_H, May 2026
It was easy to do, and they kept you up to date with news and updates. I would definitely use them again.

Awesome day had by all 😁

Tanya_A, May 2026
We had a great day exploring, the studio tour was amazing. The Mummy ride was a winner and the Minion ride was fun 🤩

Worked great!

Susan_G, Apr 2026
Worked perfectly! Easy to use, no problems. Great way to save a few dollars. Just scan at the gates.

If you like standing in...

Michelle_K, Mar 2026
If you like standing in lines all day you’ll love this. It was a complete waste of money! I would definitely NOT recommend!

Viator is happy to scam you

Ian_J, Mar 2026
We mistakenly bought 5 tickets for a Tuesday instead of a Monday and realized our mistake when we arrived at the gate. We contacted them Monday morning and they said there could be no changes w/ in 24 hrs and that was it. There is no supervisor available to speak to. How difficult is it to modify a digital weekday ticket. We lost hundreds of dollars. It is in these circumstances that you could show that you actually care about customers. Instead we will never do business with you again and will warn others @ Viator.

Be careful when going to the booking window.

luis_t, Mar 2026
The travel dates were automatically changed when booking and purchased for the wrong date. No assistance from Viator at all.

It was fun and good time with family

Sandeep_P, Mar 2026
The wait time was so high. Need to put lot of fans out there. Need to improve the restrooms too, too smelly.

Universal Hollywood

Reneisha_B, Feb 2026
Smaller than Orlando universal. Book in advance. Clean and the experience was unmatched. We got to ride and see all the attractions in one day.

Disappointed at Universal Hollywood

Neil_W, Feb 2026
Sad to leave this review as was Looking forward to universal. Firstly far too many people let into the park. Q up for transformers ride as my son is a big fan, 60 minute wait… got to the front then ride closed down for tech reason. So decided to go to waterworld … is this an omen as same thing happened, Q up then show canx due to tech reasons … by this point decided to leave … universal was a disappointment… have requested a partial refund let’s see if thy give it …

Once in a lifetime moment !!!

Mohit_B, Feb 2026
This is one of the few places everyone must visit when in Los Angeles. We had a great time. The park is very well organised. It’s very clean. The staff is very helpful. The express pass we brought was like a cherry to the cake.

Super fun, went on...

Asha_S, Feb 2026
Super fun, went on Superbowl Sunday so got on rides fast and easily!! The food was okay, drinks were yummy. We saw a lot of mascots that day! Super rare for me.

Amazing experience!...

Pavara_R, Feb 2026
Amazing experience! Definitely would recommend it to anyone visiting or local. Reasonably priced and well worth it if you are a fan!

Had amazing time with...

Rajesh_J, Jan 2026
Had amazing time with family at universal studio. All the rides get crowded a lot, with wait times going up to 200 mins. If you are okay to split your group, single rider que is life saver, though it bypasses the theme decors for the ride.

Bad experience at Mario

jk5nhs8xw6, Dec 2025
Super Mario is a hype and waiting time was 3hrs and the experience was just a playing a video game and this is the ride which is not organized properly

Family truly enjoy the...

Kamisha_B, Dec 2025
Family truly enjoy the experience since it was the first time at Universal. Would anticipate going back again, but during a less busy time to truly see the park and enjoy the atmosphere. The Christmas theme was very nice.

Good day out

Brenda_K, Nov 2025
If your thinking about it, definitely do it , not cheap, but your only here once, highly recommend, all good

Tickets for Universal studios

Tina_R, Nov 2025
Very easy to get tickets and helping me to get them. Very generous too. I will definitely use this sight again.

Lots of ways to spend money.

Dawn_R, Oct 2025
Lines weren't too long. More shopping than rides but, overall not a bad day. Bring snacks, food was not that great.

Universal Horror Night LA

Paven_T, Oct 2025
Our primary visit was to see the Horror Nights. During the day universal was not very busy. Evening was packed. If you are going to do the Horror Night suggest doing your research on which haunted houses you want to see because you probably will not have enough time to do them all. Lines can range from 20 mins to 3 hrs! The WWE was really good! Must see Good experience

Great park but most ridiculous parking price and so far away from entrance

Kaylah_W, Oct 2025
Had a great time here but the price of parking is horendous. Especially since the parking lot is so far away from the entrance yet the want your arm and your leg to cover the costs 🤦‍♀️ Definitely recommend trying to find cheaper parking before attending. I wished someone told me because I found a way cheaper parking lot and shorter walk to entrance on our 2nd day

Universal Studios During the Week

Michael_R, Sep 2025
We started early, on a Thursday. We chose front gate parking to reduce time getting in to the park. We started in Harry Potter, went through the Simpsons, then went on the Studio Tour. Lines were very short and the crowds were light.
