Universal Studios Hollywood

Halloween Horror Nights
Universal Studios is a day of fun for everyone. From
a Backlot Tramway Tour of actual stage sets for famous movies, to tapings,
shows and live entertainment, this adventure is great for all ages. For
those who don't enjoy tours but just need to stay with the group or family,
you can spend your day around the piano bar of a CityWalk restaurant drinking
espresso coffee or microbrew beers. When you
buy your tickets to Universal Studios online, you don't have to
waste time on the lines at the park. That's just more time to sip a
latte and enjoy the Southern California sun.
Joining the ranks of entertainment malls and venues, CityWalk
is Universal's answer to the trend of providing good food in a great atmosphere
and supplying an abundance of merchandising carts and stores to browse
about. Southern California weather is fantastic all year long. With
only a few days of rain and mild temperatures Summer and Winter, tourists
from other parts do not feel a need to be indoors. The one thing they enjoy
the most is the weather, so these indoor/outdoor venues are allowing guests
to shop and dine either in or outside.
For those who want to have fun, take a backlot tour
on a tram ride (see
California Trains & Trams) with
sets from Psycho, King Kong, Jaws, Lost World and Earthquake. Surprises
and thrills for children and adults include a re-creation of a modern subway
station in which the earth suddenly collapses and traps you in a world
of toppled telephone poles, power cables, train wrecks and frightening
gases. A runaway big-rig truck crashes within inches of you and spills
its "highly flammable" contents. While caught in the underground subway
set, you face a flood! This is but one of the adventures in which you can
enjoy the ride and be entertained.
Location is just 10 minutes from downtown
Los Angeles, the park is located of the 101 (Hollywood) Freeway, at Universal
Center Drive or Lankershim Blvd exit. Call 1-800-UNIVERSAL
