It's a nice average sized park. It wasn't too busy and the only thing I can tell u is get there at opening time. U will be able to do all the rides before the crowd settles in

Although I visited universal studios 20 years ago when I was a child, this time considered the best. I really liked the place, the tour, the attractions, the games and simulators. I bought the fast lane ticket and it is really saving time as I do not need to wait in Q. With this patch I had the time to... More

Universal Studios is a staple of LA. You must visit it during a trip to LA. We arrived at 10am and experienced no lines with our Front of the Line Passes. This pass is a must-get to easily access the rides. It made our day so much easier and quicker.

Should go on weekday to avoid crowd. 3D animation must not miss. Water world is cool.Tram ride is a must to cover the whole place. House of Horror is disappointed.

You must go there at least once. Studio tour was a little disappointing (did not change in more that 10 years). Cool for first time visitors. Transformers and Simpsons were cool. Jurassic park was a little...wet but we enjoyed it. The mummy is a fast speed roller coaster in the dark...we enjoyed it Don't bother with house of horrors. Animal... More

If you're short on time, the US$129 option (vs $80 regular) is a timesaver. We were able to get into the attractions at the front of the queue instead of waiting under the sun. There are now tours in Mandarin (普通話) and Spanish.

I went to all the attractions except the roller-coaster type. We went to Shrek in 4D, Transformers in 3D, and the studio tour which includes King Kong, Jaws, outdoor studios (won't tell all not to spoil the surprise) and other action settings. Disabled accessibility is excellent (even including parking and it was no obstacle not to have the local disabled... More

I was not sure what to expect when visiting Universal Studios! I must recommend the studio tour which I must say was the highlight of my experience. Some of the rides are a bit overrated but overall, a wonderful place to visit for fun!
