I should mention right away that we were travelling at the end of October, so lines were short, there was little in the way of a crowd and the weather was lovely. With 2 kids (10 and 13) we seemed right in the zone to enjoy most of the parks activities - if my daughter had been any younger, there... more

My family and I visited Universal Studios earlier this month. We enjoyed many of the attractions and rides, but several things annoyed me. Firstly, the $12 parking fee. I know most of the parks charge a similar fee, but I believe that charging to park on top of the entrance ticket price and the dollars spent inside the park is... more

We visited Universal Studios on Sept 3, 2008 and really enjoyed it. You cannot really compare it to the Universal in Florida since they dont have the Island of Advanture park which is the best park in my opinion. The backstage tour was alot of fun and it was nice to see Desperate Housewives Wisteria Lane and different sets from... more

I purchased tickets online for my parents-in-law the day before, thinking that would save some time since my husband and I were meeting with friends that day. BIG mistake. I didn't read the fine print on the tickets, and so I didn't know that you need the credit card you used to buy the tickets along with your ID to... more

I wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away. The VIP tour of the studios was excellent. Plus being able to get on to the rides without queuing was great. Favourite ride - Shrek, closely followed by Mummy. Simpsons made us feel sick. Food at lunch time was good. more

We spent full day there and had just the best time! Our guide, Ira, was fabulous and took really good care of our group. No queuing, a really good tour and lots of extra bits of info made the VIP tour totally worth the ticket price and it includes valet parking and lunch! If (when!) we go back to California... more

I booked the tickets as part of my movie-crazy daughter's birthday present. Although they seemed a little bit pricey at the outset, after our wonderful day at the studios, it was worth every penny. Our tour guide for the day - Shawn - was knowledgeable and he made the day fun for everyone. We saw a lot, including a visit... more

Wow, I was quite excited about going to Universal Studios as I had heard alot about it, we arrive in Santa Monica on the Sunday night and were going to Universal on the Monday, the GPS said it was only 10 minutes away, of course it took us a little longer - rush hour Monday morning in LA. We arrived... more

We got to Universal early-ish, just after it opened, to make a full day of it, i don't know if a half-a day would be enough? The drive there was very easy, we were offered a coach trip but were glad we drove as then you're not tied to having to leave at a certain time. We paid for 'Preferrential... more
