- Bev BTemecula, California4,768 contributionsGreat dining options & shoppingI just bought an annual pass & I’m having a ball shopping. $30.00 is a bit much for parking but I spent a lot of time here. SO MANY fun shops & GREAT dining options. It has been awhile since I visited Universal-GLAD I’m back😍Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 16, 2023
- OttermomSioux Falls, South Dakota109 contributionsSit down dining & souvenir storesThis stays open later than the park, so possibly eat here at the end, to have more time in the park. We started the day here at VooDoo Donuts. Several sit down chain restaurants are here as well as Hot Topic, souvenir stores & movie theatre. Hours change so double check how late it will be open. Fun things for kids to take pics by.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 16, 2024
- RachelLondon, United Kingdom207 contributionsA Charming StreetI was staying at the universal city Hilton right next door and this was so useful to have right on the doorstep. After a long day of walking/exploring it was so nice to head here for a wide selection of eateries. A fantastic place to shop too with lots of great souvenir stores, universal merch and movie themed novelty stores which I LOVE. It’s a nice little bubble from the real, sometimes scary, streets of LA. We thought we were safe price wise eating at a chain restaurant as we were familiar with prices but they were at least 3x what they normally are. The live music is a great touch. Could very easily spend half a day here 🍿Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 10, 2024

STAY AWAY! Went to Universal Citywalk today (Sept 17). Parking was free BUT the trick to force you to buy a mask is not! I was refused entry by security at the temperature check because my mask that I wear is a “filter” mask. The security guard refused my entry to the outside mall unless I purchased one of their masks for $7.00! Really? Are you kidding? My mask is a high grade mask with 3 levels of filtration fitted to my mouth and nose. It has a changeable filter inside. My make is SAFER than the disposable mask the security guard was wearing. When I pointed this out to him (politely) he said he could call his supervisor to explain to me why my mask wasn’t good. He said I could leave or buy a mask for $7. Needless to say I was NOT turned away by the parking attendant! Nope! I was given free parking, drove around looking for space and the parked walked all the way to security and was told I could not come in. Waste of time and universal lost the money I was going to spend on lunch and the stores. I went off citywalk spent money at a local eatery and local comic book shop. Universal has always been foolish but to act like my mask wasn’t safe is pathetic! We already have a hard enough time each as citizens following rules but when my mask is safer then their security but I’m refused entry???? Guess I won’t be going back to universal any time soon!

A busy promenade full of stores, and you pay for the experience of being so close to Universal Studios.
It’s a fun place to explore in the evening time especially, if you’re okay with crowds. The stores are your classic mix of touristy and LA centric souvenirs, as well as playing off the Hollywood aspect.
It was a nice time walking around, going to the arcade, and hearing some talented street performers.

Citywalk is a very popular destination for both visitors to Los Angeles and locals in L.A. and the Valley. It is a great place to people watch and shop. Until recently, there hasn't been a good choice for authentic Mexican food. The atmosphere is really nice with artwork of all kinds all around. There is also live music on the patio. Most of all . . . the food and drinks are worth the money, as it is a bit pricy as a tourist location. If you find yourself at CityWalk, check out Antojitos for sure. It's a good idea to make a reservation.

We went to Universal Studio Store City Walk on our last day to buy our daughter a Harry Potter Book which we saw the day before in the parks store. I would like to say a big thank you to Luis for arranging for this book to be bought by a colleague from inside Universal Studios Park store as City Walk store didn't stock it. Our Daughter is very pleased with her book. Excellent customer service definitely recommend.

Universal Citywalk in Hollywood is a bit of a disappointment if you are used to visiting its counterpart in Orlando. I stayed at the Hilton just next door and we were excited to be able to walk over for some dinner options. Unfortunately we realized very quickly that it is a ghost town once the park closes and many locations close earlier than their posted operating hours once they don’t have any more business. There were also no visible employees around to ask for help, just some 3rd party security company folks who knew nothing about the property they were working on. While it looks pretty, the limited offerings and operating hours don’t make it a place I would go out of my way to visit in the future.

Its a nice place to walk, get some grub and some merch. There are enough variety. its not big like Disney springs, so it can get crowded around peak hours. We suggest reservations when possible.
It was nice to take the boat to and from the resort

Very nice shopping, dining and entertainment area! My daughter had a blast doing the Ifly indoor skydiving, it was expensive, but worth it. We also enjoyed the shops and had a late lunch at Firehouse subs. There are many restaurants to choose from as well as several donut shops. The area is very clean and nicely landscaped.

One one hand, CityWalk is full of chains so not the sort of place I'd usually like.
On the other we were staying at the Hilton Universal and very much appreciated somewhere easy to pop out for a pedestrianised stroll, shop and something to eat as opposed to heading out into the "real" world of LA!
There were things going on such as a Gabby's House meet and greet and there were lots of kids enjoying playing with the fountains.

Depends, if the individual needs a wheelchair they may or may not have them readily available or if they need an all day assistant, they do not have one. There are readily accessible gates, rails, and walk ways.

If you are thinking of coming to LA for a visit, don't. We are shut down. Markets, banks, and a few other essential stores are open. All movie houses, concerts, theme parks etc. are closed.
