10 Shopping in Universal City Area That You Shouldn't Miss

July 11, 2021 Deane Carmody

Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

It's a very cool shopping area with lots of food places. We stopped at hot topic to get my son a hat before we entered the park. We also ate at Hard Rock after. The neon lights and water fountains are pretty to look at. It's well maintained.

The wands and shop at Ollivander's is true to the books and movies. It's amazing how real and identical the wands are to what we've come to expect from the movies. No details are left unchecked. Kids of all ages were thrilled by this store.
