Universal Studios Hollywood combines a working film studio with theme park rides, including the Studio Tour tram ride through actual film sets and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
General Admission
General admission includes full park access and the Studio Tour, with standard queue times that can build significantly during peak season.
Express Pass
An Express Pass adds priority access to most major rides, cutting wait times considerably on the park’s busiest attractions.
Is the Express Pass Worth It?
On weekends, holidays, and summer days, queues can run well over an hour for headline rides, making Express Pass genuinely worth it; off-season weekday visits need it less.
