Yes, Universal Studios Hollywood is open on those rare Southern California days that include rain.

But if it does rain, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the world’s first-ever theme park guaranteed rain check:

Guests using any 1-day ticket to visit Universal Studios Hollywood on a day when the park receives over 1/8″ of rainfall by 2:00 p.m. can request their rain check at the Guest Relations office on the same day before park closure.  Rain checks are good for a free return visit any time within the following 30 days!

And to ensure a full day of fun on rainy days, most of our outdoor shows plus your favorite strolling characters are moved to indoor locations within the theme park.  We also serve complimentary coffee and hot chocolate, and have indoor dining venues to keep you warm and dry.

We’re looking forward to entertaining you, rain or shine!
