Universal Studio After Hours

There was a promotion in Universal Studio called "Hollywood After Hours" , whereby on Friday and Saturday evenings after 7 p.m, you can enter the Universal Studio for just $5. Children under 4 are free. Only the front section of the park will be opened. The rides will not be operating, but the shops and restaurants will be open for business.

We took this opportunity to visit the Universal Studio. We walked around, took some shots, had our dinner in one of the restaurant called "Loui's Pizza and Pasta" and shopped in the souvenir shops. We didn't buy anything because nothing caught our eyes. At 10 p.m., there was a "Lake Hollywood Spectacular" fireworks display. We had a good spot to view the fireworks but we did not realise that our good spot was going to be thundering for the children too. They were frightened by the loud fireworks. Phoebe burst into tears when the fireworks display started and papa quickly carried her. Reuben buried his face on Aunty Nia's shoulders.

When the display was over, Reuben clapped his hands and said, "Finished!" Haha. Nevertheless, I thought it was quite worthwhile and we had an enjoyable evening.

Ya, the pizza was huge, so one family of 5 can share. :)

$5 is a good deal, but only the front portion is opened for viewing, but it's good enough :)
