10 Easy Ways to Save! Universal Studios Hollywood Discount Tickets!

Headed to Univeral Studios? Well then, I have a treat for you. Below are some of the best ways to get Universal Studios Hollywood discount tickets! While Universal Studios Hollywood is one of the most popular theme parks in Southern California. To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t always the biggest fan of this theme park. In the last few years, Universal Studios in Los Angeles has seriously upped their game. With the newest addition, Nintendo World, it might just be a competition contender for the most popular theme park of all (Disneyland)! Visiting this awesome theme park comes at a price, so these discounts will most definitely come in handy.

What to Know Before You Visit Universal

PARK HOURS

The park generally is open from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm on weekdays in the winter but the hours do vary on the weekends. For special events, I suggest checking the hours and calendar before you plan your stay at Universal. Summer hours at the park typically go to 9 or 10 p.m. One thing to know is the world-famous studio tour typically closes 60-90 minutes before the park closes or before sundown.
