Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood^®

Universal Studios Hollywood is the only authentic, working movie studio and theme park in the world. Located at 100 Universal City Plaza in Los Angeles, it is more than a retired 85-year-old Chicagoan can cover in two or three days, much less in a few hours, from Universal's world-famous studio tour to thrilling rides and family-friendly attractions. So what are the 10 must-see and can't-miss attractions? First of all, I suggest you decide what you want to do. Is it worth it? A Universal Express Pass costs about $300 and includes everything, including an assurance that your waiting time at each attraction will be only a matter of minutes, not hours. To save the aggravation, an Express Pass is worth every penny. Start with the most popular entertainment experiences of all, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which explores the mysteries of Hogwarts castle, highlights the shops of Hogsmeade and listen to a musical score created by Oscar winning composer John Williams. Then take a ride through Jurassic Park and witness an epic battle between indominus rex and her archrival, Tryannasaurus rex. A fascinating tour of Universal Studio, narrated by Jimmy Fallon, will afford an opportunity to see the working backlot of a real Hollywood movie studio. You'll assume the roles of stray puppies as they join characters from the hit animated film on their quest to find forever homes in the exhibit The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash. Looking for entertainment? Universal CityWalk will provide everything you need with over 30 stores, 30 dining options, six nightclubs, live outdoor entertainment and a 10-screen movie theater. Inspired by the Despicable Me animated movies, Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem is an Ultra-HD movie motion simulator ride for kids; The Simpsons Ride is a virtual reality roller coaster ride through a myriad of animated TV locations. For families, there are numerous entertainment options, including WaterWorld, the park's most popular show. From now through November 4, the park is hosting one of its most popular seasonal events, Halloween Horror Nights, which brings together the stories and visions of the world's most notorious creators of horror. There is so much to see and do and not enough time to see and do it all.
