The entire experience was great and very exciting . Really enjoyed all excitements will definitely come back again. My only request to the management is wish you can open till late or do something for the long waiting queues and it is really taking time for the guests who can't enjoy much on all the games and rides. I believe each and every humans who was in the theme park would definitely love to play the rides and the games again and again it is that exciting and also not to forget the food and beverages are really awesome. I really loved the Jurassic Park foods especially .Anyway in overall I will always love Universal Studios anywhere in the world.

Fantastic experience.The park is beautiful, meticulously maintained. It feels like being in a dream. We stayed from opening time until closing time and despite the heat of the day and the miles we walked we would have liked to stay there for another whole day. You really never get bored. There are so many attractions , shows and games you can do. For young and old alike. We were fascinated by Nintendo World where it really feels like being catapulted into a video game and the settings are fantastic. Also very nice is the Harry Potter Village where we tried what for us was the best attraction of all (Harry Potter and Forbidden Journey).For lovers of the Saga it will be spectacular.I recommend buying the Express Pass to have a chance to skip the line in at least 4 attractions because for the most popular ones there is a long wait (at least an hour). There are many restaurants and the food is good. Prices are average for amusement parks and there are many restrooms, all super clean and cozy. Highly recommended if you want to have a carefree and fun day and want to be a kid again. We will be back.

What we loved most about my experience was how genuinely friendly everyone was. The staff and characters waved so often, smiled, and made us feel so welcome, especially when they found out it was our first time visiting. One of the absolute highlights was meeting Shrek. He was just as excited as we were! He gave Sam a huge hug, and they both laughed so much that Shrek ended up holding his heart like he couldn’t believe how funny and joyful the moment was. It was so special, especially coming from Australia and not speaking Japanese, to be able to interact in such a physical, no verbal way. It made the experience feel truly magical and unforgettable. Thank you so much! We will remember this forever.

Universal Studio was a hit for the kids. Obviously overcrowded and overpriced like every amusement Park in the world... Queues for rides: very long but if you ride as "single" instead of a group you save a lot of time. Queues for the food: way way too long! We basically did not eat for the entire day because we did not want to waste 1 hour in a queue for a questionable hot dog. (We bought overpriced cookies from one of the hundreds of stores, instead). Super Nintento World: A M A Z I N G!!!! Although obviously a rip-off I recommend to buy the bracelet, you can earn coin and power ups and access extra rides. It was a blast.
