Universal Studios strives to ensure that everyone who



visits Universal Studio Tours has an enjoyable

experience. While guest services are available for

everyone, there are special guest services available

for guests with more specialized needs.

Guests in wheelchairs should have no problem

accessing everything in the park, however, occasionally,

some assistance may be required. If this occurs,

staff members will be only too happy to assist. If

special assistance is needed, please visit the

Guest Relations desk, which is near the front

entrance of the park. You can also contact Guest

Relations in advance of your visit. Accessibility

points for wheelchairs are marked with the

International signs.

If you require a sign language interpreting service,

one will be made available to you at Universal

Studios Tours free of charge, with two weeks notice.

Arrangements can also be made for closed

captioning, assistive listening devices, and

telecommunication devices for the deaf. TTY

telephones are located at the Guest Services booth

as well, and all pay phones throughout the park

have the amplified feature.

Service animals are always welcome at Universal

Studios, and will be allowed in the restaurants, gift

shops, and the attraction queues. For the safety

and well-being of the animal, service animals will not

be allowed on some of the rides or inside some of

the attractions. Special arrangements can be made

for the service animal while it's owner enjoys the

attractions, however. Non-service animals must be

placed in the complimentary kennel, located right

outside the park gates.

Pregnant women should avoid The Studio Tour, Back

to the Future, and Jurassic Park. These are not

suitable for expectant mothers, and may cause

complications in the pregnancy, including early labor.

Furthermore, pregnant women will be given special

stationary seating for the Shrek 4-D attraction and the

Terminator 2: 3D attraction. Speak with a cast member

for assistance. You should speak with your doctor

before planning a trip to Universal Studios Tours ?

he or she may advise against such a trip.

Spanish language tours are available every day that

the park is open, and tours for other languages can

be arranged with advance notice. Again, Universal

Studios Tours wants everyone to have a pleasant

experience at the park, and they will do everything

possible to ensure this. If you have a special need,

please call and speak with a cast member at the

Guest Services Center, or visit the center upon

your arrival to the park.

Universal Studios Tours ? Park Information

If you are planning a trip to Universal Studios Tours,

you need to know specific information about the park

before you arrive. If you have special needs, you may

need more information than usual, and you should

contact Guest Services and inform them of your

special needs prior to your arrival.

You may purchase tickets in advance either online,

or over the telephone. Tickets can also be purchased

at Ticket Master Outlets and through travel agents.

You may also purchase tickets at the gate. General

one day admission costs $55, and those under forty

eight inches tall are charged $45. Children under

three are admitted free of charge. VIP Studio

Passes are available on a limited basis, and are

not available for children under the age of five. The

cost for VIP Studio Passes is $149 per person.

Annual tickets are also available, at a discounted

rate.

Universal Studios Hollywood is located in Los

Angeles, California, at 100 Universal City Plaza. This

is easily found right off of Highway 101, which is often

called the Hollywood Freeway. The park is about

ten minutes from the Los Angeles downtown area.

Only paid parking is available. It costs $10 for cars

and $11 for recreational vehicles. You can also get

preferred parking, which is closer to the entrance

for $17. Free parking is not available on the Universal

Studio grounds.

Realistically, it takes a full day to see all of the

attractions in the park. However, if you don't have a

full day to spend at Universal Studios Tours, you

should purchase the VIP pass, which will allow you

to move to the front of the line for all rides and

attractions. This cuts down wait times in lines

significantly, and allows you to see all of the

attractions much faster.

Don't allow the rain to ruin your parade! The park

remains open even when it rains, but if severe

weather is an issue, many shows may be cancelled

or relocated. In the event that the park must close

due to whether, a rain check will be issued. A

Universal Studio rain check will be issued if over 1/8

of an inch of rain falls before 2pm, and it is good for

thirty days.

Again, if you have special needs that may need

special accommodations, please contact Guest

Services by telephone prior to your visit. Some

accommodations can take up to two weeks to
