    What can I say about this place? It's literally magical! The thing about universal that they been doing so well done is making you feel like you are inside the actual movie (potter) or in this case a game As soon as you go into the tube you go the other side it's like boom!! Instantly feel like a kid and you can't stop smiling They made it very interactive but it sucks that when I first went the watches or trackers were like $12 but now I believe they are 3-4x the price The Mario kart ride is super super fun!! Lots of visuals to take in especially at the top of the Mario kart ride Hitting the cubes for the sounds is great Wish it was bigger lol

    INSANE. My boyfriend said he almost got an aneurysm just walking inside. Extremely impressive and is a testament to how great the back drops and stage sets are for Universal Studios. As much as people praise Disney, there is no "land" that impressed me as much as Super Nintendo World (may be slightly biased since I'm more familiar with this IP than with Star Wars). Lots and lots of animatronics all around and the attention to details must be commended. Even the restrooms are very strongly themed with the background music changing to match and it being underwater themed too. If you have a wristband you can utilize the interactive aspects of this area, but even if you don't, it's definitely a must stop, even if you may not be much of a gamer. Bright, vibrant colors and so so much to work out. The fact that the "world" is stacked so high in the sky, really gives you the strong feeling of immersion as you are surrounded by everything you'd expect from jumping into a Super Mario game. Lots of photo ops with characters and just with the land as a back drop. There's the Toadstool Cafe, the Mario Kart ride, a shop, and so, so much to look at. Can't wait to come back again one day and not be rushed to finish all of the Fan Fest festivities.

    Fun interactive land for the whole fam. Transporting you into the game with backdrops, pipe tunnels and power ups. you can adventure through with some pows to make the coin squares light up. Great set of areas to explore. Bright and colorful pixels. Had a fun time trying to figure out the mine. Make all of the squares light up to complete the mission before the rush of air bursts on you. Works great when working together. Yoshi appearances for the fans!

    It feels like stepping into a real life Nintendo video game while walking through the green pipe. I feel so thrilled by the vibrant colors, moving thwomps, piranha plants, and the iconic soundtracks. However, the land's footprint is so small, which leads to extreme congestion when the park is busy, you almost have to wait for everything here, long lines for rides, mini games, and even restrooms.

    Theme parks rocks, I enjoyed super nintendo world, jurassic world, minions, Simpsons. I hope donkey Kong theme and Zelda them3 are added in the future.

    I finally had the chance to visit Super Nintendo World during my Universal Studios Hollywood visit. Before heading into the park, we peeked inside a Nintendo store in Universal City Walk. We found these wrist bands that are interactive with different areas of Nintendo World. We bought four and paid an average of about $30 each band. You're able to link your band to your Universal Studios app and keep track of all the coins you collect. There's also a feature to sync your coins to your Nintendo Switch, but I haven't figured that out yet. My nieces and nephew had bands too and we had a blast going through Nintendo World collecting keys and coins. There are several different stations where you can collect keys to unlock Bowser Junior's Lair and recover the golden mushroom. The staff explains the objective at each station and the lines for these have a short wait. The world is small but it's so fun. The Bowser's Challenge ride is a must do. The line is very long and moves along slowly because guests are shuffled into a room where the game is explained before getting onto the ride. Luckily we had express passes so we waited about 15 minute, but the morning wait times for the standby line ran about 75 minutes. I recommend doing this ride first because the wait time climbed to over 125 minutes throughout the day. Granted it was a Saturday, but I imagine this is a daily trend.

    For the amount of visitors, this part of the theme park can feel like a really tight squeeze, I recommend to bring all of your patience if you venture here. Super Nintendo World is where your kiddos (or you) will want to use the Mario Power Up Band, it's interactive and easy to spot areas where you can tap band without standing in a line to square off in a game. You will also find the Toadstool Cafe, a shop, restrooms, sitting areas that are always taken, you can meet and take photos with Mario and Luigi, Princess Peaches and ride Mario Kart Bowers Challenge. The Mario Kart Ride always has a wait time well beyond 60 minutes. Prepare to walk up some stairs, down more stairs, walk inside and outside- while in line. Is the ride worth the long wait? In my opinion, not really. It's fun but I wish the ride lasted longer. It's fun to see and experience in the evening.. when the crowd of people is not so heavy.

    Mario World is really fun to look at and honestly feels like you walked straight into a video game. The atmosphere is on point and if you grew up with Nintendo, it hits the nostalgia button hard. I do enjoy it overall, especially since I have a season pass. I had dinner at Toad's restaurant and I'll give credit where it's due. The atmosphere and customer service were great. Super cute inside and the staff was friendly. That said, the food itself wasn't that great and definitely overpriced for what you get. Most of the games require you to buy a Power Up Band which is around $60. You don't really get anything from it besides collecting points and seeing your score, so keep that in mind before buying into it. It does get very crowded and tight, and the wait times can be a lot for what the main ride offers. Still, I enjoyed Mario World as a whole and I'm glad I experienced it. I just wouldn't recommend it unless you plan ahead and know what you're getting into.

    Maybe two years since they open Nintendo World and I am amazed how many people still come to visit still. Staff members have always been super friendly, helpful and kind. Activities through the world for the kids and obviously photo ops with the characters. Wait time for the ride is sometimes insane but I think it's worth it more than any other rides. Toadstool Cafe added also special drinks fon their menu for the holidays such as the Super Mario Snowman Cocoa (delicious)

    Cutest world in Universal! So colorful and fun! If you buy a band you can have an immersive experience (kinda like the wands in the Wizarding world) Lots of places to take photos, and videos. It's just such a cute world, totally recommend it, even if you don't like Mario or if you live under a rock and don't even know who he is. Note: if you want to get into Toadstool Cafe make sure you go early and scan the sign to get on their waitlist! They fill up so fast-- we made the mistake of not signing up soon enough and they were 100% full for the entire day at 11 am! Go!! And Have fun!!

    Awesome time visiting Super Nintendo World! We all walked through the green pipe and were all in amazement. It was like walking into the game! Unfortunately a two hour wait with several children was not feasible, we hope to return another time to experience the ride.

    2nd visit (March 2026) today, and just as fun as my first. Wish there was a video of people's reaction entering Mario World. You can see who has visited before and those who are visiting for the first time. So much to see! Although you could visit without a Power-Up band, I highly encourage kids and Nintendo lovers to have purchase and utilize them for the games and rides. (My 1st visit was June 2024)

    Charlene M.

    It's like waking into the video game!!!! So cool and colorful! Mario Cart: Bowsers challenge is so fun and 100% interactive. 10/10 cool spot to checkout and dine, too.

We did the VIP experience and I have to say it was absolutely incredible. They check us in. We get a beautiful light breakfast in beverages and bottled water to bring on the tour. We got greeted by our tour guide Danny B. Who is fantastic and full of charisma. The whole tour was fantastic. We got to go right on the rides and for lunch they took us to the Moulin Rouge for a lunch buffet, which was incredible. They also let you take bottled waters or any beverages you want with you. The studio tour was super fun and we got to see so many things. Danny was so knowledgeable and so fun. The kids absolutely loved him as well. When I go back.

General parking is $40 and preferred parking is $60. We paid the extra $20 because the guy at the booth showed how much closer it got us. He didn't lie either. Parking was right outside the shops for us! There's lots of shops and places to eat outside the park. The employees we encountered were super nice. There's SO much to look at. It's worth it to download their app to check the map and wait times for all the rides. It's worth it to get the fast pass as well which is $100 per ticket which is the same price at all other big parks. The butterbeer was my favorite part haha. I'm still craving another. We would definitely come back and come first thing when they open. There is so much to see and do!

The whole area is designed like Hogwarts, with artificial snow on roofs and brick footwalk alleys. There are several magic spell spots where fans swing their wands to caste their spells. In the area they also got couple of shops (one for wands and one for other merchandise products), one dessert/candy store, a standing cart serving butter beers and a replica of the Hogwarts Express Train with the conductor standing next to the train, ready to take pictures with the guests. After Super Mario World, this was my second favorite part of the park, despite not being a Harry Potter fan. It was fun to see people trying to use their wand and be like Harry. Others were busy trying out the butter beer. There was a also large shaded resting area for guests that attracted a lot of people taking a break.

I remember I wanted to go when it *slowed* down when it wasn't overly packed. We made the right call. Just like anything new in Los Angeles something this big of a magnitude its going to attract a lot of people and is should be. It's a decent size section in universal. They have a lot of the famous land marks and especially a lot of themes and attractions just like in the harry potter world. From Diagon Alley, to the Hogwarts Castle to the train station. I had so much fun when we went here. There are rides and lots of photo ops. They do have a show they host I remember. parking you pay just like anything and that's what i can remember from this trip. I wasn't a yelper back then but better late than never.

Toadstool Cafe Mushroom Soup This was horrible. It was the worst mushroom soup I have ever had. It tasted like mushrooms ground up and thrown in a broth. Just gross. I would not order this again. The cup is cool, and you can keep that. Tasted like garbage. Hogsmeade Butterbeer Actually, not too bad! It's bubbly and frothy lol Had an okay flavor. It tasted like root beer to me lol I would get this again! Power Up Cafe Veggie calzone This was not half bad! It is super cute, comes a mushroom head. It tasted pretty good. It had lots of veggies in it and I wish it had more cheese. It was edible though. I would order one again. The cafe itself was adorable! Toadstool Cafe Pirahna Salad The salad was very fresh.

The tour is done in a group of about 14 people, with an electric cart taking you around facades, sound stages, and other parts of the studio. You can park in the studio garage for $20. We came on a Saturday and found plenty of free street parking nearby. We parked on Avalon Street, around the corner. The arrival experience felt somewhat disorganized. There are two sets of doors to enter the facility, but neither was clearly marked as an entrance. Inside, there is a Starbucks on the left, bathrooms, and what appears to be a ticketing area. We had purchased online tickets for $69 per person as California residents. After going through a metal detector--which went off because of both my wife's and my belts--we were hand-scanned. Several attendants asked to see our tickets without actually scanning them, which added to the feeling that the entrance process could have been better organized. The tour begins with an exhibit about the Warner brothers, who tried their hands at several businesses before becoming successful in the movie industry. The exhibit emphasizes their success in making movies about ordinary people and their everyday problems. I was surprised, however, that it didn't mention that the brothers were Jewish or the antisemitism their family experienced. Given the emphasis on their family background and connection to ordinary people, I thought that historical context was missing. Our guide, Divey, took us around several buildings and lots of facades where movies such as Spider-Man and Inception, as well as numerous television shows, were filmed. We went inside a sound studio and visited several Stage buildings. I ended up learning much more about how movies and television are actually made than I expected. The second part of the tour included a Central Park café surrounded by the Foley sound exhibit, a Friends exhibit, and a gift shop dedicated to the show. We enjoyed cappuccinos while admiring the incredibly realistic cake props. We then boarded an electric tram for the final part of the visit. This was where the signage became confusing again. There was no clear indication that the tram would take us to the Harry Potter exhibit but the line was for the Superman area, which required an additional ticket we didn't have. There was also a minor seating mix-up: an attendant initially told the four of us to sit on the same bench and then asked us to move because only three people were allowed there. The Harry Potter exhibit itself was excellent. Harry's cupboard-under-the-stairs, the chimney with Hogwarts invitations, the Sorting Hat, and especially the Potions shop were spectacular. Overall, we had a great time. Compared with the Universal Studios tour, Warner Bros. felt much less crowded and more contemplative. We also noticed far fewer children than we typically see at Universal, which contributed to the quieter atmosphere. If you're interested in how movies and television are actually made--and especially if you enjoy classic Hollywood, Friends, or Harry Potter--this is a very worthwhile experience. Just expect some confusing signage and a somewhat disorganized arrival process.This version keeps the review positive but credible: the criticisms are specific rather than overwhelming, while the strongest parts of your experience get more emphasis.
