Travel Tips

New Year’s resolution: Experience Universal Studios Hollywood as many times as possible this year — and at a discount! The Annual Pass is now available online and, through April 7, a discount of up to $50 is available.

 

For families looking to make some unique memories in 2022 and for those who love the adrenaline rush of thrill rides or the magic of movies coming to life, Universal Studios Hollywood offers plenty to excite. “Jurassic World—The Ride” brings you face to face with a stunningly realistic Indominus rex, while “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash” ride allows you and the kiddos to become one of the adopted stray pups. Of course there’s also the magical “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” or the cartoonish “The Simpsons Ride.” Go behind the scenes on the “Studio Tour” and learn more about animated worlds on “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.”

 

That’s just a taste of what awaits, and Annual Pass members receive even more in the way of exclusive incentives, including discounts on general admission tickets for friends and family; admission to seasonal events like “Halloween Horror Nights”; and sweepstakes opportunities and discounts at select CityWalk locations.
