Trying to Stay Calm!: Universal Studios Hollywood Review...

I had such a blast at Universal Studios Hollywood! It's "The Entertainment Capital of L.A." and the only movie and television-based theme park to offer guests the authenticity of a working movie studio, bringing the magic of Hollywood to life!

Here I am when I first arrived...

I haven't been to Universal Studios Hollywood for many years. I was super excited to visit again and see all of the new things they have added!

I started out my fun day at Harry Potter World...

We were fascinated with the Hogwarts™ castle! The rides, shops, attractions and entertainment in Harry Potter World were all fantastic!

It was fun getting to see the Hogwarts Express! We also enjoyed a delicious Butterbeer and had fun getting some treats at the Honeydukes candy store!

Next we went on the amazing Studio Tour...

This is still just as cool as I remember! They have even updated many parts and added the Fast and Furious part. I am going to have to bring my boys back with me soon. I know my family will all love it!

The Transformers interacted with us and were super cool! I stood there listening to them in amazement.

I love the characters all over that the kids can get their pictures taken with. The big kids like me love it too! :)

The Special Effect Show was brilliant...

The exclusive behind-the scenes stunts, practical effects and cutting-edge technology were very exciting!

Another one of my personal favorites has always been the Jurassic Park ride!

I ran right to this ride yelling with excitement! I think the music they play while you wait in line is perfect. A fun fact is 1.5 million gallons of water are used in the ride. I love how the dinosaurs surprise you throughout the ride. The best part is the drop at the end for sure!

I also really enjoyed the raptor encounter!

There are so many fun rides and attractions! It was awesome experiencing them all! The Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers, Simpsons ride and more are all incredible!

If you haven't been to Universal Studios make sure and add it to your things to do list! If you have been many years ago then make sure and plan to visit again soon! You will be happily surprised with all of the new fun things they have added!

Universal Studios Hollywood also includes CityWalk entertainment, shopping and dining complex, the Universal CityWalk Cinemas and the "5 Towers" state-of-the-art outdoor concert venue.

You can also visit them on Facebook and Twitter!

Thank you so very much Universal Studios Hollywood for the amazing visit!!
