Question ??? Universal Studios Hollywood on a Saturday Afternoon, in August ???

We certainly agree that the best touring is generally the first two hours of the day. However, one piece of advice I received from someone else regarding Universal Studios Hollywood (advice below), suggested mid-day "on Saturday". With that in mind, we are thinking of going on Sunday (3:00 - close), and on Monday (open - mid-day).

We thought that would be more enjoyable than trying to pack it all into one day. We're trying to avoid being totally wiped out for our first day at Disneyland, which we've planned for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning.

. . . your thoughts?

Least Crowded times at Universal Studios Hollywood: Unless you want to get tickets to watch a filming, consider arriving mid-day for shorter lines. On a recent August Saturday, "some" waits were 90 minutes at noon, but by 8 p.m., you could walk straight in.

While I haven't been in August, I have been in March.

We went (all day) on a Monday and found the crowds to be very low . . . however, August is a different story.

Hopefully someone will come along and be able to help you out specifically with August.

Thumbs up Universal

Our trip is getting closer and we still haven't settled on a day. Some say Monday (when we're planning to go), but others say Sunday afternoon is not bad. Your thoughts?

i would say a monday would be less crowded anyway, but 2 days is plenty of time even with crowds.
