Universal Studios Hollywood To Reopen April 16

STUDIO CITY, CA — Universal Studios Hollywood will officially reopen to the public on Friday, April 16, after over a year of closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tickets can be bought online beginning April 8, while season and annual pass holders can attend a special park preview on April 15.

“We are incredibly thrilled to finally be able to open Universal Studios Hollywood, return team members to work and welcome guests back to enjoy our amazing rides,” said Karen Irwin, President & COO, Universal Studios Hollywood. “It has been a very challenging year and we are overjoyed to have arrived at this moment.”

Guests will be welcomed back with new attractions, including "The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash!" and "Jurassic World - The Ride." The former features "hyper-realistic" renditions of popular characters from the movie series, while Jurassic World features a 22 foot tall dinosaur to inject spine-tingling thrills into your family's bravest challenger.

The park will be open to California residents only, in keeping with state health rules. As Los Angeles County remains in the red tier, capacity will be limited to 15%, although a possible move to the orange tier could allow capacity to be raised to 25%. Face coverings will be required, and eating and drinking will be allowed only in designated areas.

The following safety measures will also be implemented to keep guests safe:

• Temperature checks for all Guests upon arrival. If temperatures exceed 100.4° Fahrenheit / 38° Celsius or greater, Guests will not be permitted to enter.

• Rigorous cleaning and disinfecting at all food locations, restrooms, and all other high touch points.

• Physical distancing practices at all locations throughout the park and at rides and attractions.

• Contactless payment options wherever possible.
