How many days do I need at Universal Hollywood?

One day is enough to see everything, especially with Express. If you want to re-ride favorites or enjoy CityWalk at a slower pace, make it 2 days.

How is it different from Universal Orlando?

Hollywood is smaller (1 park vs. 4) but has the one-of-a-kind Studio Tour that Orlando doesn't. Orlando has more attractions, Epic Universe and Islands of Adventure.

Yes — especially if you only have one day. It costs $80-200 extra but guarantees you'll hit every attraction without long lines.

Can I combine it with Disneyland?

Yes — Disneyland is 45 minutes away by car. Many families do 1 day at Universal and 2-3 at Disneyland. It's a perfect combination.

What else is there to do in LA besides the park?

The Hollywood Walk of Fame, Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica Pier, Beverly Hills. LA has plenty to round out the trip.

How much does it cost?

A 3-4 night LA trip with Universal Hollywood runs $1,500-$3,000 USD per person including flights, hotel and tickets.
