Universal Studios California Holidays 2023 & 2024

Where to stay & things to do in
Universal Studios California Holidays 2023 & 2024

  • Universal Studios Hollywood is the perfect destination if you’re mad about movies. Situated just 35 miles northwest of Disneyland Park, you’ll find the home of some of your favourite on-screen stars, iconic movie sets, and a heap of thrilling rides and attractions. Unlike Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios in Hollywood is ideal for those looking for a one-day experience while still being able to see the works of a live working movie set. Fun for the whole family Universal Studios is the ultimate Hollywood experience.

  • Go behind the scenes of a real American movie studio. Universals World Famous Studio Tour gives you the opportunity to visit 13 city blocks built with Steven Speilberg's creative input.

    Discover the secrets of some of the best movie scenes in history, including the incredible wreckage of the Boeing 747 from the award-winning War of the Worlds. Take a trip through the halls of Hogwarts and stop off at Dumbledore's office, classrooms and the Gryffindor common room. You'll fly above the castle and encounter some of the most magical creatures in the wizarding world.

    See how some of your favourite movie stunts are accomplished with an exclusive Special Effects Show. Watch in amazement as sounds, sights and illusions are all performed and revealed before your eyes.

    Is that Curious George eating a banana? What's Dora exploring today, and why is Scooby-Doo howling again? You never know who you might bump into whilst walking around Universal Studios.

    Finish the day with the grandest of grand finales and ride with the Fast and Furious cast! Travel at 120 miles per hour in a high-speed chase in this hyper-realistic 3D experience.

  • Universal Studios has over 50 different places to eat and drink. Serving unique dishes and some classic favourites, meal times have never been more exciting! Springfield serves up some of the best doughnuts, Krusty burgers and Italian food at Luigi's. After dinner, head to Moes Tavern and enjoy a non-alcoholic flaming moe.

    Dine on Costa-Rican-inspired cuisine at the Jurassic Cafe or cool down with something sweet from Phineas Q. Butterfats Ice Cream Parlor.

    The Three Broomsticks is the ideal place to eat for any Harry Potter superfan! Perfect for children and adults, you can enjoy classic English dishes washed down with Wizards Brew or even an iconic Butterbeer.

    As well as numerous hot dog stands, burger vans and ice cream trucks you’re sure to find something for everyone at Universal Studios.

  • When planning a theme park vacation, many people assume that summer is the best time to book, and although there is no wrong time to visit, summer tends to be the busiest and hottest season in California. Another factor to consider is sun exposure. Although the sun is guaranteed to shine, that doesn't eliminate the chance of sudden thunderstorms and showers. If you have sensitive skin, you'll want to dress appropriately and reapply sunscreen as often as possible. Fall and spring are the two most comfortable seasons to visit Universal Studios. The weather is pleasant with fewer crowds; if possible, schedule your visit for a weekday. Weekends tend to be a busier time, with the park drawing in similar crowds on both Saturday and Sunday.
