Universal Studios Hollywood

First of all, it is important to know that Universal Studios Hollywood is an amusement park: true movie buffs will prefer to visit Paramount Pictures Studio, where they can see filming in action. Nevertheless, adults and children alike will love going here. The great myths of the past and present are on display, from the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park to King Kong to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws. While Universal Studios Hollywood is filled with roller coasters, restaurants and souvenir stores, the educational value of the studios is still there, but in the form of a show that you walk through.

So, don't miss The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a dive into the world of the most famous wizard, in the heart of a reconstruction of the sets of the film. You will walk through the streets of Hogsmeade, visit Ollivander's - where you will obviously find THE wand that fits you - and then you will enter Hogwarts castle to follow Harry in a crazy chase. It's a thrill to behold.

Another must-see is the one-hour guided tour of the park included in the ticket price.

Finally, it's best to come on weekdays when the park opens to avoid the crowds. Plan on a full day. Please note: opening hours may vary from one day to the next. Before booking your tickets, check the online calendar.
