How many days required for Universal Studios Hollywood?

Hey guys and gals, I was interested in the southern califonia city pass for $269 which included 1 days admission to universal studios....is it enough or should i buy each theme park seperatly? When I went to the Orlando one, we used up 3 days in here 1 for universal and 1 for island of adventures and the last 1 we used up 50/50 to take the best rides again in each park...Some suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

FYI: if you buy the citypass at costco in the states, its 249 for adults and 209 for children.

i would say its enough time. i was there last summer - got there early and rode the rides until we were sick of them we were tired of them. we were probably there 6-7 hours.

just some advice:

do the studio tour + simpsons ride first, they had crazy lines towards the middle of the day.

we needed less than 2 days to do disneyland and california adventure. take advantage of the fast passes and go on the smaller rides in between the big ones.

last year disneyland was pretty quiet though - not sure if the same will be the case this year.

WOWWWW THANKS!! Unfortunately my membership just expired last week :( . If I make a new membership does .com ship to canada? otherwise I don't think it'll be possible for me to receive the passes until I get to California?

Also as for your ride suggestion. I've already taken the Simpson's ride in Universal Studios Orlando (Was the only ride full haha), didn't find it to be as great as it was hyped so if there is too big of a line, i might just avoid....Studio Tour is the first thing I was planning on doing and then King Kong right after (sucks theres no harry potter ride in cali :( )

one day is enough. I went there 3-4 times and I never spent more than 1 day there. I took 80% of the rides.
I love my toy poodle Taffy and making greeting cards:

there's a couple things you could do. you could buy from costco.com and have it mailed to your hotel (contact them first though)? otherwise, you could have a friend purchase it for you online with a membership.

Prices just dropped to $239 and $199...this is an amazing deal (especially since our dollar just rose more than 1 cent today)...going to go renew membership tomorrow and buy these passes. Hotel said they can hold my items that I get shipped there!

Hi,

Seaworld is overrated. It's a long way to drive for a bunch of lame educational exhibits, couple of thrill rides & 2 sea mammal shows. Better off to use that time to go to the beach, Hollywood walk of Stars & Outlet mall shopping. Universal Studios was awesome, be sure to go to the Haunted House.
