Universal City Walk |
|
A great place to people watch ! Catch the buzz has there is always something happening at Universal CityWalk adjoined to Universal Studio theme park. 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. Universal City Walk is located just north of downtown Los Angeles. There is never a fee to enter CityWalk! The Universal CityWalk was an entirely new concept: more than just another shopping mall, it is, in effect, a synthetic city street, with all the glitz and excitement of an actual urban boulevard, but with none of the problems associated with real city life: no carjackers, no panhandlers, no grime, no graffiti, no hookers, no muggers, no litter - yet also with no mall roof to block out the sunny skies or night time stars. For once, walking outside in the "city" is completely safe. Want to see a movie while you're at CityWalk? Well, you can have your choice of 18 different theatres inside the giant Universal Studio Cinemas. And now there's also an IMAX theatre. If you buy two movie tickets before 6 PM, they will refund your entire parking fee. You can buy movie tickets in advance by calling (323) 779-2463. The interiors of the shops on Universal CityWalk are just as unique, each offering a little something special. Even familiar mall shops have added a gimmick or two: Natural Wonders offers a small, walk-through rain forest, complete with a foggy mist. The UCLA Spirit shop features a fine indoor mural of the UCLA campus, and the interior of the candy emporium looks for all the world like a turn-of-the-century General Store. Glow sells just that: things that glow in the dark - and the local bookstore, The Upstart Crow, doubles as a chic espresso bar. And there are plenty of unique shops: The Wound & Wound Toy Co. sells thousands of wind-up toys. The Zen Zone is an oxygen bar. Them! tend towards the macabre. Adobe Road sells Native American goods. Universal City Walk is located just north of downtown Los Angeles, with many Hotels nearby, here is a few of the Hotels that are near Universal Sportsmens Lodge Studio City, El Patio Inn Studio City , Days Inn Studio City, Sheraton Universal Hotel, Hilton Los Angeles/universal City, Holiday Inn Express Universal City, and Holiday Inn Universal Studios There's also plenty of action out on the street. Street performers (mimes, magicians, musicians) often entertain the crowds. At Christmas time, there's even a parade, carolers, and an outdoor ice skating rink near the theatres.
