Information About

Universal Citywalk




Universal CityWalk is a part of Universal Studios Hollywood , Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Japan originating from Universal's first park, Universal Studios Hollywood. CityWalk serves as an entertainment district, as well as the path from the parking lots to the theme parks. All three entertainment districts include shopping, eateries, and entertainment venues.

CityWalk Hollywood and CityWalk Florida both have major similarities and differences, mainly in layout and design. CityWalk Hollywood incorporates a classic modern blend of Hollywood, while CityWalk Florida follows a modern city feel.


UNIVERSAL CITYWALK HOLLYWOOD

The Universal CityWalk Hollywood opened in May 1993 adjacent to the isolated Cineplex Odeon cinema. A $1 billion, 93,000 sq. ft. expansion opened in 2000 .

CityWalk's central plaza is topped by a large steel-web canopy with a leaping fountain below. A huge television monitor brought in by Panasonic , is located above the multiplex, showing upcoming Universal movie releases, music videos, and NBC Universal promotions stands next to the giant guitar towering over the Hard Rock Cafe.

Street performers (mimes, magicians, musicians) are a common sight. At Christmas time, there's even a parade, carolers, and an outdoor ice skating rink near the theaters.
