Loving your vids. We are booked to go to the US in a week so watching these are the next best thing to being there now!
Awesomeness. Thanks Chris!
A quick tip for bypassing a lot of the traffic, Universal Studios connects to LAS metro rail, specifically the Red Line, with a shuttle taking you right to the entrance. It's an open secret among locals to park their cars near a stop and just use the train as a two-stage shuttle.
Total cost of parking is a bit cheaper, you don't have to climb the hill from a bad parking spot, and depending on where you're coming from you can skip a huge chunk of LA traffic.
I‘m really enjoying your videos!
👍🏻 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks Fun Joy for tuning in from the Netherlands! :)
Going this weekend
Thank you sooo much for your videos, I have been to Hawaii and your videos were a great help. Keep it up!!!

Wow I bet this would be a good park to go to in the summer!!
Watching this while I'm at Universal Orlando!
Neat!
Great video thanks for the tips can’t wait to go see Springfield and Jurassic Park! In less than 24hrs
I go during the summer and the single ride line is great. Going on the studio tour fist is the best thing to do. I take the subway both ways and save money.
I’m going July 31 to August 3 I’m excited
Thank you for the tips. I'm planning to go with my wife and 10 years old daughter in August. Although is going to be crowded as you stated but your advice before going are appreciated. We'll be traveling from Massachusetts
Enjoy your trip Cesar!
great review and helpful advices
Thanks Chaowei!
i got a ad of it i guess because this is a video of it and had a location of it so lit
You are right the studio tour ride is a must do thing if that's the only thing to do in the Universal Studios I mean that's the ORIGINAL ONE & ONLY Universal Studios offering visitors this experience. I've done it 2 times and I will do it the 3rd time next year.
Great tips. I had forgotten about advanced tickets b
The little panda is so cute and I also have one from the San Diego Zoo and I bet they would be great buddies 😸
Awwww.. I bet they would!
Thanks for all of the tips I will be going to California for a winter trip with friends and we are going to Disneyland universal Hollywood six flags museums like LACMA Santa Monica etc. We are getting an LA pass.
My pleasure! Have a great time!
I went there last week! It was amazing.
Cool!
Thank you!!!! Me and my best friend are going in 3 weeks, so exited!! We are very short people tho lol. 4/11 and 4/4
Loved the VIP ticket option, but being from the UK it means the exchange rate for prices better. Worth every penny we thought
Good to hear!
We are going august 6 th and also have the VIP package .
Good tips. It’s true tickets are more expensive during the summer time, but due to higher volume of attendance, if you’re a big Harry Potter fan, it can enhance your experience being able to see the light show on the Hogwarts castle. There’s also Grinchmas, which is awesome. They have also had the special light show winter version projected on the hogwarts castle (which is longer and more fascinating).
Studio tours is definitely worth riding. And if you ever think about getting VIP experience, it’s really cool because you can walk around for portions of the studio tour.
Thanks I just bought a season ticket and going tomorrow
Cool! Have fun tomorrow!
I’m going tomorrow I check the crowd checker yup it’s packed

Thanks for the tips.
My pleasure Jade!
Thank you for this.
My pleasure Dione!
I went there today. its was pretty okay, but i think children enjoy it more than adults do, atleast for me. I tought there would be movie sets and behind the scenes stuff, and like some cool movie history and props. It felt more like a amusement park for kids.
We just got back today. 7/21/19 yes it was busy...... but with Express pass or v.i.p. it's no problem at all at most 20 minute wait. Do not go with out express passes! I repeat do not go with out Express passes. Otherwise up to 4 hour waits. No joke. Harry Potter ride shortcut is legit. And dont skip waterworld show! Best ride mummy returns. The video def made my experience better.
Alex Funez I’m going in September. How much was the Express pass?
Good points nice.
Thanks that good information to know Thanks again
My pleasure!
I'm very thankful for this video! :D
I used to live in San Diego and went to Disneyland and Six Flags Magic Mountain, but never to Universal Studios. I think I missed out! I'll have to swing by on my next trip to Los Angeles. Thanks for your informative videos!
Thanks Brent! You did miss out on Universal!

Nice review! We went there last year!
Cool cool! Thanks!
So pretty much buy your tickets online or buy the express tickets so you don’t have to wait in line, bring snacks to avoid the expensive restaurants, take the train (depending on how far you’re hotel is), and take lots of pictures 🤷🏽♂️.
Just wanted to say I watched one yellow video about Vegas randomly now watched a load great work! Going to sf, la then Vegas in September lots of useful info!
Awesome.. thanks Carl!
too good bro, keep up the good work
Thanks Dieter!
