Universal Studios Hollywood

Part theme park, part working film studio, Universal Studios offers thrilling rides based on blockbuster films like Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Transformers. The behind-the-scenes studio tour provides a glimpse into Hollywood's filmmaking magic.

Universal Studios is not only great for its theme park rides, but it also features CityWalk, a vibrant plaza just outside the park filled with shops and restaurants!

If you enjoy theme parks, you'll love spending a day here. There is a great mix of thrill rides, family-friendly rides, shows and experiences. 

You can spend a whole day here! Click on the link below to get tickets; these offer easy cancellation if for some reason you can't make it. :)

I don’t make the rules, this is an obligatory indulgence into Hollywood fantasy if you’re visiting for the first (and probably last) time.

If you are a Harry Potter fan I recommend visiting Universal Stuidos!
