The ticketed event will be open every Friday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Guests will be able to wander throughout the park and choose from dozens of culinary options to snack on.

“So the Taste of Universal at Universal Studios Hollywood is a shopping and dining experience where guests are able to come back into the park, you know it’s been a year since we had guests in the park,” Scott Burklin of Universal Studios Hollywood stated. “And they can experience some of their favorite locations.”
