Universal Studios gets...

Julie_M, Nov 2026
Universal Studios gets you close to your favorite movies, video games, and television shows through the tram studio tours, themed lands, and rides. The 45-minute tram ride studio tour took us through various locations used for filming - The Voice and St. Dennis Medical filming during our tour, backstages used for movies and television. We experienced an earthquake in a subway and saw what was the highlight of the tour - the Trojan Horse and boat from the Odyssey as well as the water area and massive blue screen where shooting took place. We went on a Friday in early November. Parking lot was easy to access ($40 for standard, $80 for premier which offers a shorter walk). Minimal crowds - longest line was for Fast and Furious, 35 minutes. Lots of characters were out for picture taking - Poppy, Toad, Peach, Gru, Shrek, Minions, etc. Whoville was closed being prepped for Christmas. Seasonal decorations were minimal. Take a refillable water bottle and SMALL purse/backpack. Several rides require you to put your items in a free locker by scanning your ticket but they are small. If your items don't fit in a standard locker, you have to pay $5 for larger one. Choose a scanner close to the exit as it can get crowded and you'll have to wait to access the scanner again at the end of the ride. We ate a delicious corn dog near Jurassic Park ($14 including chips) and shared a must-have slushy Butter Beer in Harry Potter land. Reminiscent of a root beer float but not too sweet. Buying the "watch" at Marioland and the "wand" at Hogsworth provides an interactive experience. We had the watch which gave going through the land an extra purpose (earn stars which give you access to an exclusive interactive video game) but opted not to spend $60-$100 for a beautifully boxed plastic wand for activating stations (unlocking a gate, starting a fire, and various window scenes). There was a long line for the wand store but wands are also available at other stores without the line or the experience of choosing it. The majority of the rides are motion-based simulators where you sit in a chair that takes you through thrilling video adventures which can be slightly dizzying. Overall, the lands and activities are targeted for younger children but still enjoyable for adults. Hours were from 10-6pm which was more than enough time for us to get through the entire park.

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

Buy the express lane pass. Wait time is 120 min without express lane. Go during the week so the price is lower.

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

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!

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
