Fun times for the family! Been going here for decades. Gets better and better. Simpsons area has expanded and Harry Potter land is detailed and interactive. They have a large water park area for kids to enjoy, just take water shoes. The Minion ride and Transformers ride are two of my favorites. Jurassic world is a fan favorite and the ride had actually great drop at the end. You'll love it!

Enter then Disney. Universal Express pass works better they Disney’s fast pass. Loved every ride and the shows.

First, their parking.you are parking in a covered garage (unlike Magic Mountain where you are parked under the hot sun) so already, I was in love. Second, so many attractions and a ton of shops. Third, the employees, not one bitter employee who was annoyed being asked questions - we had several and spoke to over a dozen people - intentionally ;-)

Changed their hours and closed the park an hour early. Very disappointed, barely early August, still summer. Wouldn't have known unless we had the app?

Loved the park. It really help to come prepared and have a plan, we were able to do all our favourites more than once. Had a 2 day pass which was important with young kids so we don’t rush. Love Harry Potter area!

Overall I had a pretty good experience at Universal Studios. The food is quite good for an amusement park, and surprisingly decently priced.some of the rides are a little bit uninspired like the minions ride, but they have some pretty good special effects rides as well. The lines are long, but nothing really compared to Disneyland. Overall, for the price, I had a good time and I would certainly come back in a few years (just make sure to go during a slow day).

The rides are always fun! But paying $130 to wait 90minutes for almost every ride it is not acceptable, they should have a limit of how many people per day.

Fun place to be at. Very crowded. Everything cost an arm and a leg though. Best stores are Cinnabons and Tommy's original burgers RIP.

Great attractions here especially if you're a Harry Potter fan. If you enjoy eating prepare to shell-out some coin.

It is not a fun place for children under five and it is too expensive. Children under five should not pay 120 dollars for two boring rides. My family was so disappointed. We basically threw away our money. The employees are rude and the bathrooms are filthy. This place cannot be compared to Disney.

Totally worth the 2h30min wait for Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey! I had the most amazing thrills! Dreams DO come true at Universal Studios!

Universal Studios has amazing decor in entrance and in streets. So far, I noticed that they have wonderful attractions and amazing rides. If you are looking place to go. Try this place.

Got the Annual Pass! We had a great visit! I just got back surgery so I was a bit hesitant to go on some of the rides but they were all fine for me. I love the rides that don't move a lot but they have screens that make it look like you are moving a lot more. Most of the rides there are like that.

Harry Potter World was my favorite. The Butter Beer was really good too. To me it tasted kind of like Cream Soda. They have frozen, hot, and regular. My favorites were the frozen and hot!

You should get at least one wand for the family that has the chip in it and then the rest of the wand can be the regular ones. The kids will have fun walking around doing the spells.

Three Broomsticks is the best restaurant there and not too bad on the wallet especially with the Gold Annual Pass that gives you 15% off.

So much fun! I really enjoyed the Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey, Revenge of the Mummy, Jurassic Park, and the Studio Tour.

I highly recommend purchasing the purple ticket VIP EXPERIENCE (& hopefully you can get Lauren as a Guide because she’s awesome!). It’s pricey but worth it! Here’s a quick summary of the VIP EXP.

You’ll start the day off with free breakfast, then begin with an in-depth studio tour on air conditioned trolleys (rather than the old trams) where you’ll visit a filming set (we saw Will & Grace), other film locations, and the prop building (which was awesome). The guides are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly! Then they take you on some rides and you get VIP access (way better than Express Entry) so the longest line you’ll wait in is about 5mins. Then you have a free all-you-can-eat lunch, catered by an amazing Chef. After lunch your guide takes you to some more rides.

And if you don’t want to be with the Guide you’re able to leave the group whenever you feel like it and you’ll still get Express Access to the rides.

Amazing place, I'm a Harry Potter fan and the wizard would on the park is an amazing experience that takes you inside this magic world, the prices are good in comparison to another parks, you can even get an annual pass for a very good price, it gives you a lot of days to go (250 + -) and outside the park is universal City, great place, they even has a cinema, there is no problem on the access, you can take the subway, and it leaves you really close to and transportation vehicle of universal studios that takes you to the entrance, of course, if you have a car, they have good prices on parking. Don't think about it, if you have the chance, just go. You won't regret it.
