Universal Studios Hollywood 1-Day Family Itinerary — April 2, 2026

Day 1 · Thu, Apr 2
Universal City / Universal Studios Hollywood

Full day at Universal Studios Hollywood — family-friendly rides and shows

Morning:

Start your day with a leisurely arrival and family-friendly fun in [Universal CityWalk](https://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/web/en/us/plan-your-visit/citywalk), grabbing a quick breakfast at Starbucks or the kid-friendly options at Minion Café before entering the park. Once inside, head to Super Nintendo World for colorful, interactive play zones and the gentle Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge (child swap available), then let your 3-year-old explore the soft-play areas and meet costumed characters near Hello Kitty's cart for unforgettable photos.

Afternoon:

After a fun morning in Super Nintendo World, wander toward the lower lot to catch the behind-the-scenes thrills of Transformers: The Ride 3D (use child swap) and then enjoy a relaxed, scenic ride on the classic Studio Tour, where the whole family will love the King Kong and Fast & Furious sequences. Pause for a kid-friendly lunch at Mel's Diner or grab a milkshake and fries at Louie's Italian Restaurant, then let your little one unwind at the colorful play area near The Wizarding World of Harry Potter while you scout showtimes for the evening performances.

Evening:

As the park lights come up, wander to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ Hogsmeade for a magical stroll, sip on warm (or frozen) Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks and let your little one marvel at the animated window displays along the village. Cap the night with a relaxed family-friendly show at Universal's Animal Actors or catch the dazzling nighttime projection and effects near The Upper Lot lagoon, then enjoy a slow exit through [Universal CityWalk](https://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/web/en/us/plan-your-visit/citywalk) with a treat from Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. or gelato from a nearby shop.
