Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood is "The Entertainment Capital of L.A." and the only movie and television-based theme park to offer guests the authenticity of a working movie studio, bringing the magic of Hollywood to life.
Explore the array of rides and attractions to experience!
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™
Enter through the towering castle gates and make your way down the familiar passageways and corridors of Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Jurassic World
Cruise through Jurassic World and take in the sights of a massive Mosasaurus during its feeding and a baby Stegosaurus being welcomed to the park.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™
Put on the special goggles and battle Team Bowser alongside Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach on Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge.
Transformed into the eerie-futuristic, mist-shrouded netherworld, "WaterWorld—A Live Sea War Spectacular" represents the most complex combination of high-tech special effects, pyrotechnics, flame and human stunt work ever attempted anywhere in the world. The attraction puts studio guests in the middle of the exciting action that involves hundreds of stunts and fiery special effects. Highlights include giant fireballs rising 50 feet in the air and cascading to earth in a spectacular wall of fire and a seaplane that swoops in directly above the audience, skidding across the water and coming to an explosive crash landing just inches away from startled spectators.
"Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Studios Hollywood is Southern California's premier Halloween event that brings together the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in a living, breathing, three-dimensional world of terror.
The whimsical spirit of the holidays transforms Universal Studios Hollywood into a winter wonderland bringing merriment and cheer to families and friends as the theme park ushers in seasonal favorites, “Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and “Grinchmas.”
