About this Plan
This touring plan is carefully crafted to optimize your time experiencing the haunted houses, scare zones, and entertainment at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. Attractions that are not exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights have been excluded from this touring plan. This plan can be used if you’re visiting the event for a single night or multiple nights.
Download the App
Before visiting Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, we recommend downloading the Universal Studios Hollywood app from the App Store or Google Play Store. The app provides wait times, showtimes, an event map, and more.
Entering the Event
We suggest arriving at the entrance to Universal Studios Hollywood, where the event is held, by at least 5 PM. You won’t gain entry to the event at this time, but being nearer to the park gates gives you an advantage over other guests. Keep in mind that it may take up to 30 minutes to reach the front gates from the parking booth if you’re driving. However, if you’re visiting Universal Studios Hollywood during regular park operating hours on the same day you’re attending Halloween Horror Nights, you can stay in the park past its regular hours for early entry to select haunted houses before Halloween Horror Nights begins. It’s a good idea to download the official Universal Studios Hollywood app in advance to view attraction wait times, check showtimes, navigate the park, and much more.

Tips
- If you’re visiting the event for just one night, we recommend having dinner before you arrive to maximize your time for enjoying the haunted houses and experiences.
- If you’re visiting Universal Studios Hollywood during regular park operating hours on the same day you’re attending Halloween Horror Nights, you are permitted to stay in the park after closing for early entry to select haunted houses before Halloween Horror Nights begins. This allows you to get an early start on experiencing haunted houses before guests waiting at the front gates, resulting in shorter wait times. If there’s a highly anticipated haunted house you want to visit, it’s a good opportunity to do so. Be sure to line up for that haunted house as soon as the queue opens to minimize your wait. After enjoying that house, you should follow the order outlined in this touring plan. We advise against visiting more than one haunted house beforehand, as doing so may result in longer lines that can reduce the plan’s effectiveness.
- To reduce your wait times, consider purchasing Halloween Horror Nights Universal Express to skip the regular lines at all haunted houses.
- If you’re using Halloween Horror Nights Universal Express, continue following this touring plan to efficiently navigate the park and make the most of your time.
- At select quick-service restaurants throughout the park, you can use the Universal Studios Hollywood app‘s mobile ordering service. This feature allows you to order your meal in advance, so when you arrive at the restaurant, you can quickly pick up your food and avoid long lines at the ordering counter.
- Don’t rush from one attraction to another. Take your time to explore the different scare zones at the event.
