VIP Experience

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Walking through Hogsmeade was incredible! There are so many things to do at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Lower Lot at Universal Studios

When they say “Lower Lot” they really mean that you’ll be going down countless escalators to the valley below!

Waterworld Show

The show starts with jaw-dropping special effects! There are jet skis, water skiers, motor boats, etc. And lots of fire! You’ll see actors swinging from ropes and little gondolas.

Despicable Me Minion Mayhem

We went in a little room to watch a video to set the scene. Then, we headed into our row, put on our 3-D glasses and started the ride.

Universal Studios VIP Studio Tour

Instead of riding in a huge 4-car tram like the regular studio tour, we got to ride in a private open-air trolley.

Since our trolley was small, we were able to squeeze through narrow alleys and get a lot closer than the trams.

Champions Set

Courthouse from Back to the Future

The Good Place and Little Europe Sets

The Simpsons Ride

The in-depth studio tour lived up to my high expectations! It was exactly the type of Hollywood experience I wanted for our kid-free getaway!
