Universal Studios - Hollywood

$530 for the admission of 2 adults and 2 children is not cheap. Since this amusement park has been recommended to us from all sides and the children will surely enjoy it more than another sightseeing tour, we went for it.

By now, the physical attractions like roller coasters have mostly turned into virtual 4D cinemas - and they are damn good at it. Sometimes you find yourself in a battle between King Kong and 2 T-Rex, or you go on a roller coaster-like adventure with the Minions.

Not only the seats move, but water splashes and wind blows in your face. And the 360° animations are absolutely impressive. Being right in the middle instead of just watching is definitely true.

The Harry Potter world looks physically impressive, and so do The Simpsons.

However, we liked the studio tour the best (where there were practically no waiting times). You can see sets from many well-known movies like Jaws, War of the Worlds, and more.

Unfortunately, we couldn't ride all the attractions, as there were wait times of up to 70 minutes in some cases, and some would have been too exciting for Julius.

A successful day, even though our heads are buzzing.
