Vacation Travel Guide

Visit Universal Studios Hollywood

Get ready for the ultimate Hollywood experience!

No visit to Los Angeles will be complete without a day at the world-famous Universal Studios Hollywood™ where your favorite movies and television shows come to life.

Go behind the scenes on the Studio Tour at the world’s largest working movie studio to explore real film sets where Hollywood movies are made. Our tour is hosted by the “Video Studio Tour Guide” Jimmy Fallon as he takes you through the Universal Studios® Backlot, with 13 city blocks built with creative consultation from Steven Spielberg. Experience the epic battle between a terrifying T. rex and the eighth wonder of the world in King Kong 360 3-D and hold on tight as you ride along with the all-star cast from the hit movies on the Studio Tour’s grand finale, Fast & Furious – Supercharged.

Then, face action head-on in heart-pounding rides, shows and attractions – including Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride–3D, and DreamWorks Theatre Featuring Kung Fu Panda – that put you inside some of the world’s most popular movies and TV shows.

Visit the shops and cast spells all throughout Hogsmeade™ in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Explore the mysteries of Hogwarts™ castle and soar above the grounds on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™. And, learn the proper way to approach a Hippogriff before you take off on Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor family-friendly coaster, Flight of the Hippogriff™.

And in 2019, life finds a way when the Indominus rex makes her world premiere at Universal Studios Hollywood™ in the new, high-tech Jurassic World ride, based on the blockbuster film franchise.

All this and more are included with Park admission. Adult and child tickets are available, along with single and multi-day tickets. Or skip the lines with one-time express access to each ride, attraction and seated show with a Universal Express™ ticket. And the VIP Experience is your guaranteed access to Hollywood with your customized, behind-the-scenes tour of Universal Studios Hollywood™.

Tickets are priced seasonally, so please check dates prior to booking.

4.2/5Very Good! (1,000 reviews)

Its located just in front of the beach. You can easily walk to Santa Monica and Venice Beach, 3rd Street Santa Monica promenade with lots of bars, restaurants, shops. The Fairmont lobby is stylish, nice bar (cocktails were average), swimming pool (it was always busy from 10am, we couldnt get to the pool in 3 days...), FIG restaurant (we tried only breakfast, it was good), Dogtown coffee (usually a long line due to only all-in-one barista), small sushi place (works only wed - sunday). Regarding rooms: Firstly, we got deluxe ocean room - the room was small, but livable. The main problem that its in front of the Bungalow bar. There was a party with DJs and lots of people, so it was super noisy even with closed windows/balcony. We asked for another room. Finally, we got premier ocean room - the view was great. The size of the room is the same as deluxe, its small. You barelly can be in a bathroom with somebody else. Im an IT guy and it was strange that rooms are not equiped with any new techs: if you need smart tv (youtube at least), you have to connect your phone/chromecast... no air conditioner remote, its an old one. The power sockets are only from one side of a bed (why?). There is a bluetooth speaker with Lenovo iPad. But you cannot connect to a speaker. Also, it was noisy during nighttime. I always woke up every night. To summarize it, the rooms are big minus. Its not what you expect from a 5-star hotel. The staff were great. They were really helpful.
