Getting Started
Hello and welcome to Inside Universal! If this is your first visit, you’ve come to the right place. Normally when one visits our website, they’re in search of information pertaining to Universal Studios Hollywood. Well, to get started, let’s explain the four sections of this website.
The heart and soul of Inside Universal – the main website! This is where you’ll find tips, descriptions and reviews that’ll help guide you along towards planning an enjoyable vacation at Universal. Because the park isn’t organized in any specific theme, you’ll find our site operates on a similar level by grouping things in two distinct regions – the Entertainment Center (upper lot) and Studio Center (lower lot) located on the navigation bar on the right hand side of this website. From there, you’ll find links to attractions, shops and restaurants which should guide you to the specific item you’re looking for.
By far my favorite section of this website – our community forum allows people from all around the world who share a common interest to ask questions, share experiences or offer their opinions on Universal Studios Hollywood. You’ll find that we have an extremely knowledgeable community willing to answer your questions – so if it’s not covered – ask away!
Named after the StarWay’s fictional radio station, K – Universal – Studios - Hollywood features the latest updates from the park. Whether it’s a simple press release, photo update or a simple rumor, you’ll find it on our constantly updated blog.

Now that we have the website explained, let’s go into further detail on what you’ll find on our pages.
First off, general information such as ticket prices, park hours and park maps should be found on Universal’s official website, UniversalStudiosHollywood.com. As much as we would love to say we keep this website updated on a continuous basis, ticket prices and park hours are bound to change at a moment’s notice and as a result, we would be doing our visitors a disservice by reporting outdated information that could negatively impact your day. To make things a bit easier, we've offered some links on the sidebar to some external websites that may be of interest to you
