Universal Studios Hollywood

1000 Universal Center Drive, Universal City, CA, 91608

The Basics

First-timers should head straight for the Studio Tour, which takes visitors around the sound stages in the front lot, then heads to the backlot past the crash site from War of the Worlds, the vehicles from Jurassic Park, and the spooky Bates Motel from Psycho. Also prepare to face down King Kong, brave a flash flood and survive a shark attack, a spitting dinosaur and an 8.3-magnitude earthquake. The Studio Tour includes recorded commentary from Jimmy Fallon as well as live narration from one of the park's tour guides.

Anaheim Resort Private Transfer to or from Universal Studios.
Alex was a great driver. Very helpful and contacted us on the pickup indicating he’d be 10 minutes late due to traffic. We were able to bring a car seat on too. Very roomy and comfortable van for our group of 11 (7 adults 4 children) A long commute 1 hour + but not much you can do about LA traffic

Definitely worth the extra money for the express line ticket. Without this, I doubt we would have managed to complete all the rides, due to the length of the queues. Worth staying for the light show in the evening at the Harry Potter Castle, a must see!
Saves so much time!!!
