About Universal Studios Hollywood
If your kids love movies, superheroes, or all things action-packed, Universal Studios Hollywood is a must-do for your next family day out in Los Angeles. This iconic theme park brings the big screen to life with thrilling rides, live shows, interactive experiences — and even a working movie studio tour!
At the heart of the park is the legendary Studio Tour, a behind-the-scenes tram ride through real working sets and sound stages. You’ll pass through famous film locations, encounter King Kong and Fast & Furious in immersive 3D, and even see Jaws in action! It’s one of the most unique theme park experiences anywhere in the world — and perfect for curious kids and movie-loving parents.
Younger visitors will love areas like Super Nintendo World, where families can step inside a real-life Mushroom Kingdom. Challenge Bowser on Mario Kart™, punch question blocks, and interact with characters like Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. This land is interactive, colourful, and built with kids in mind.
Other family favourites include Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash, and the magical Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where you can sip butterbeer, cast spells, and ride the thrilling Forbidden Journey coaster.
Teen thrill-seekers? There’s plenty of adrenaline here too, with heart-pounding rides like Jurassic World – The Ride, the Revenge of the Mummy indoor coaster, and Transformers™: The Ride 3D.
Throughout the day, you’ll find entertaining live shows, character meet-and-greets (think Minions, Transformers, and even Scooby-Doo), and street performances that keep the action going even between rides.
The park is very walkable, with family rest zones, stroller-friendly paths, and plenty of themed restaurants and snack stands. Plus, CityWalk — the vibrant shopping and dining area just outside the gates — gives families a place to relax or grab a bite before or after their visit.
Allow at least a full day, and consider Express Passes on busy days to skip the queues. Universal Studios Hollywood combines world-class entertainment with true family fun — and it’s just 10 minutes from Downtown LA!
