Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood in Universal, Calif., is a giant playground for everyone who loves movies. It is famous for its movie- and television-themed rides and attractions.

We spent a day at Universal Studios and are so glad we did. It was extraordinarily fun for the whole family. We were able to enjoy all the rides, and our daughter met with some of her favorite characters from Spongebob and the Simpsons to Shrek and the Despicable Me Minions.

Universal Studios offers a backlot tour that shows the real workings of a Hollywood movie studio. We saw cinematic magic occuring at the Special Effects Stage, and we came face to face with King Kong at King Kong 360 3-D.

The rides at Universal studios are film and tv-related, and incredibly fun. We rode all of them including Transformers: The Ride 3-D, Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride, The Simpsons, Jurassic Park - The Ride, and Shrek 4-D. The Simpsons ride was our favorite and was absolutely hilarious. The Adventures of Curious George is perfect for small children and is also a great place to cool off.

The park also features many attractions like the Universal's Animal Actors, which stars animals doing their tricks for the camera; The NBCUniversal Experience features an incredible array of Hollywood artifacts; the Blues Brothers, a lively musical features the music from the cult-favorite film.

Universal Studios park hours vary by the season, so be sure to check their website when planning your trip.
