Tips & Tricks to get Around Universal Studios

​Universal is a huge park with so many amazing attractions to take part in. One of the smartest things to do is to purchase your ticket in advance. This will save you lots of time and money.
 
App
One thing that is super helpful in making your way around the park is the Universal Studios Hollywood App. This app shows wait times, show times, ride updates and closings, and even restroom locations. The app also points you towards food locations and what to get there.
 
Parking
When you go to park, be sure to take a picture of where you park so you can easily find your spot. General parking is a 10-15 minute walk from the park so make sure you schedule that in.
 
Harry Potter World
If possible, head to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter as early in the day as possible. It is the busiest around lunchtime. 
 
The most popular ride in the Wizarding World is located inside the castle but know that you are not allowed to bring anything on the ride with you. There are lockers outside the line for your belongings but it gets full fast so try to knock out this ride first.
 
Studio Tour
Make sure to schedule time for a studio tour. It is an hour long and gives you a nice break to sit back and let the entertainment come to you. You are allowed to bring food and drinks on the tour.
 
Stroller & Locker Rental
Both rentals are located just inside of the gates of the park.
Strollers are $15 for a single stroller and $25 for a double stroller for all day use.
There are also lockers to rent to hold your belongings. There are no additional lockers throughout the park so be sure to lock everything up here that you do not want to have to carry around.
 
Going for a Birthday?
Be sure to stop by the Guest Relations Office to pick up your birthday pin!
 
Lunch
Try your best to dine outside of peak meal times. There are no table reservations for any restaurants inside the park. Eating outside of peak times will leave you with shorter lines on the rides and a quicker time to eat.
 
Universal also allows you to leave and come back with a hand stamp. There are a lot of great food options in City Walk if you want better quality food than what the park has to offer.
