A complete guide to every restroom at Universal Studios Hollywood — including family rooms, ADA accessible facilities, and insider tips for shorter lines.
Universal Studios Hollywood traces its origins to 1915 when Carl Laemmle opened the Universal City studio lot and invited the public to watch silent films being made for 25 cents. The modern theme park opened on July 15, 1964, when the Studio Tour became a formal attraction with guided tram rides through the backlot.
The park evolved throughout the 1990s and 2000s with the addition of Jurassic Park — The Ride (1996), Revenge of the Mummy (2004), and the opening of CityWalk as a dining and entertainment district. The most transformative addition was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2016, which brought Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village to life on the Upper Lot.
Super Nintendo World opened in 2023, creating a fully immersive Mario-themed land on the Lower Lot that quickly became one of the most popular themed areas in any park. The park is unique in being split between an Upper Lot and Lower Lot connected by the StarWay escalators (the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world), and the Studio Tour remains the only theme park ride that takes guests through a working movie studio.
Universal Studios Hollywood has restrooms on both the Upper Lot and Lower Lot. Upper Lot restrooms are near the entry plaza, Universal Plaza, Springfield, Super Silly Fun Land, Minion area, and the Wizarding World. Lower Lot restrooms are in the central area and Super Nintendo World. All restrooms have baby changing stations.
All restrooms are wheelchair accessible. The StarWay escalators connecting the Upper and Lower Lots are accessible via elevator for wheelchair users. Family restrooms provide extra space for guests with caregivers. The Family Center near Super Silly Fun Land has a private nursing area.
Family restrooms (single-stall, gender-neutral) are available at Super Silly Fun Land, the Lower Lot First Aid area, and Super Nintendo World. The Family Center on the Upper Lot near Super Silly Fun Land provides a private nursing area with changing facilities.
