  • Universal has done a fantastic job with this theme park. The super Mario section was done with fantastic detail. I have only given it 4/5 as it was a bit tricky to work out how to get an entry time...

  • Universal Studios was so much fun. Loved all the details put into Nintendo World. If you have not been, highly recommend getting the express pass. Super helpful and saves so much time.

  • We got to the park at 830 for the 9am opening, and it was super quick to get though the gates. Went during a rainy day it stopped after about 3-4 hours. Lines for rides were extremely fast compared to reviews I read online. We were able to access all areas of the park- including Mario World- which was amazing. The park was very clean. The workers were extremely nice and helpful. The app was not very user friendly and probably needs more work done on it. I ended up experiencing almost every ride without having to pay the express pass prices. The foods were delicious and adorable.
  • First time going to a universal studios and this place didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend reserving a fast pass in advance. We hardly waited in live and it guarantees a visit to Nintendo world(which was super packed). Highly recommend the flying dinosaur ride! That one was the best! Staff are so friendly. They seemed to have opened the doors earlier than what was on google. We went on a Wednesday and it was raining and it was still very packed.
