Why you should go…

Founded in 1964 around the original tram tour of the Universal backlot, the park has grown into a full theme park with rides based on Jurassic World, Despicable Me, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Studio Tour still rolls past real soundstages and outdoor sets used in film and TV.
