The experience
A full day at Universal Studios Hollywood — the working studio backlot, rides and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
General admission covers the full park for one day: The World Famous Studio Tour, a behind-the-scenes tram ride through the real backlot and the world’s largest working movie studio, past sets used in blockbusters and through the King Kong 360 3-D experience created by Peter Jackson.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter brings Hogwarts castle and the shops of Hogsmeade, and Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is a 3-D ride with Gru and the Minions. An Express Ticket upgrade is available for guests who would rather spend less time in lines.
