Best WLM Reviews
The best time for family fun. Amazing effects on all the rides. Very visually stunning. Loved every minute. My daughters can't wait to go back!! Unlimited fast pass is definitely worth it????????
Here again for an employee event in the evening, no lines! Loved the Waterworld fire and explosions at night, which is more spectacular than ever. The Harry Potter land castle light show with fireworks was nice too. The butter beer was more sickly sweet than ever, we had to dump it after just one sip. Always have fun here for me nonetheless.
This is a wonderful place to enjoy if you like thrill rides and interactivity. It's quite a drive to Los Angeles from where I'm at, and the CityWalk has cool shops there like the Super Nintendo World Store. They do have wheelchairs, regular and electrical, at a cost ($25 for regular, $75 for electrical). The staff are really nice too, and they care if you really have a disability like autism. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is a pretty cool ride, but Jurassic World the Ride is scary with a giant drop and splash that gets you drenched. The lines at the eateries are unfortunately long, so you have to make a reservation in order to eat there. Overall, I love this place, and I recommend this to those who are thrill-seekers.
We come here once a year from Utah. It is so fun. There are lots of activities and tons of fun shops to look at. There are so many places to grab food and the whole place is so detailed with fun themes. I would definitely suggest that your kids are a little older to really enjoy this place because there are not many options for Littles. I feel like the pricing is worth it for all of the attractions. My favorite ride there is the Studio Tour. It is amazing and insightful and my kids thoroughly enjoy it every time we go! Super Mario land is fairly new there and my sons loved it. If you are looking for a fun family outing, this is a great option!
Fun Park
This was my first time at this location. This is much smaller than the Universal Studios in Florida. I recommend coming here on weekdays due to the crowds, and you shouldn't need a fast pass to experience every ride in 1 day.
A lot of the rides were fun. I recommend taking the Hollywood tour first. There are a lot of food options, too.
The cons are that the food is expensive and most places taste bad. A lot of the new rides are built for small people or children. General parking alone costs over 35$ and is a long walk to enter.
I still recommend visiting here overall.
Absolutely such an amazing experience! So much fun on the rides! I rode about 7 rides in total and watched 3 shows in 1 day. My overall favorite rides that I recommend is the mummy and the Harry Potter ride. I also tried the famous Butter beer which was delicious but a little overrated. Lines were long even though I went on a Monday but they moved pretty fast. The show that I recommend is the Water world show. Parking was the only part that took a little long.
Expensive but overall fun. Plan from open to close. If you download the app it will give you wait times of rides so that was helpful. We didn't wait longer than 45 minutes. The walk to the actual gate was pretty cool with the outdoor mall. If you get sick watching your phone in a car this not the place to ride rides. lol! Staff was pretty friendly and helpful. Food was overpriced and honestly pretty terrible so bring your stuff if you can.
Two items off the bucket list, visit Universal Studios, and go to Halloween Horror Nights!
What an exciting adventure. The key is to plan ahead, organize your time well, and you can see everything + ride all attractions in one day. Kudos to YouTubers who post helpful strategy videos!
Universal feels kind of like Disneyland only geared more to adults (in some ways). The rides were fun, but many made me motion sick, which was a bummer. However, attractions like the Studio Tour, Waterworld, and Jurassic World make this park a must-see.
Halloween Horror Nights was madness, but completely worth it and such a blast. I was afraid I’d be letdown after years of hype, but it didn’t disappoint, I’m so glad I went!
Rides were fun, the Universal app worked great for deciding what ride to go on next. Time estimates were true to what was posted, which was a major positive.
Bathrooms, restaurants, water fountains, etc. were easily accessible. I love the fan misters, those were helpful during really hot times.
I look forward to coming back sometime in the future and seeing what changes will be made, especially with Epic Universe in Florida, I feel like Hollywood will need to up their game!
