AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Reviewers rate Super Nintendo World the highlight and say the early-entry hour before general opening is what makes a day work. The studio tour is the other must. Many rides are 3D motion simulators, rough going if anyone gets travel sick. Food is expensive and reviews on quality are mixed.
Major movie-themed amusement park with rides, the Studio Tour, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

We visited Universal Studios during Thanksgiving 2024 with my husband, our baby, and myself, and overall it was a very magical experience. The park was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made everything feel extra special for the holidays. Grinch story time was very enjoyable, especially for families, and the studio tour of the movie sets was super entertaining and a must-do. This was our second time visiting—our first was back in 2018—and this time they had Super Nintendo World, which was hands down the best thing the park offers. Mario World was incredible and definitely the highlight of our trip. One downside for us was the food. During our first visit, we tried the Simpsons burgers and they had no flavor at all. This time we tried the Mexican bowl and unfortunately had the same experience. We also got hot chocolate, which wasn’t good either. The food is definitely not the park’s strong point. Other than that, everything else was wonderful and very well done. It did get very busy in the afternoon since it was a holiday, but we still enjoyed our time and the festive atmosphere. Overall, it was a great experience and very memorable for our family. 🎄🎬🍄

What a great experience!!! Visited for my son's 18th bday and it was a vacation to remember. Make sure to visit olivanders first thing to get into a smaller wand ceremony. Mario World was a blast. Had fun on the studio tour learning about the park and more about the studio. Got tons of souvenirs and memories to take home with us. The food in the park was great and well priced.
