Universal Studios is the real thing, a working movie studio that also happens to have a theme park attached to it. Which means visitors get the chance to go right onto the lot to see where some of their favorite movies and television shows are made – think the "Psycho" house, the "Desperate Housewives" neighborhood, the "Back to the Future" town square and much more. Take the Studio Tour for real insights into how Hollywood really works. Stay for the rest of the rides there too, including the Fast and Furious – Supercharged, Transformers The Ride 3D, WaterWorld, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, and be sure to allow lots of time to see everything The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer, too.
