This is super helpful! We're traveling to universal from out of state for the first time and I've been stressing about parking. Mostly wanting to know where to go so we don't lose time with our Nintendo world early entry

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Yay! That was my entire hope. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask! Thanks for watching!

[@jacquelineborgen2694]

Thank you so much! I'm going here in June and I feel like I get lost easily. This helps.

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Happy to help, Jacqueline! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@c.r.a.z889]

Dude! Great video I’m going. Soon after admit 18yrs and it looks as I remember thank you

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@sonnee44]

good quality content for parking 🎉

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Thanks, Sonnee! Appreciate it!

[@anniecasa]

Thank you !!!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Annie, thank YOU for watching!

[@kaedhenbharathae-lane4234]

It was weird seeing you driving, I guess I just thought you magically teleported whenever you needed to travel 😂

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Normally, I do. However, I know most cannot and would likely have to travel by car to the park. Appreciate you watching as always!

[@resperro]

De mucha ayuda el video! He estado viendo cómo llegar en auto y es la misma entrada y de ahí haces fila para pagar y te re dirigen hacia los diferentes estacionamientos, muchas gracias. He encontrado lo que buscaba! Super video!! Bastante informativo!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@LoungeSongs21]

Great video! What time is the earliest you are allowed to park? What is the earliest they allow you into the park. Where do they check your tickets after you park? Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hey, Juliet! From my experience, parking opens about 1 hour prior to park open (if the park opens at 10AM then parking opens at 9AM). In the past, they let guests in about a half hour early and hold them just inside the park until official opening (If the park opens at 10AM then they might let you in at 9:30AM). They will check your tickets after you go through security and right before entering the park at the turnstiles. Thank YOU for watching and let me know if you have any more questions!

[@princessdenisse]

How early can gold & platinum members park ?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

The same as everyone else about an hour before.

[@alrensha7479]

How does paying for Jurassic parking at Universal studios Hollywood work

[@soniagomez9017]

what about if i have Super nintendo world early access?

[@loriisaak8807]

When purchasing a parking ticket, is there free re-entry same day if leaving mid-day and coming back?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

From what I've come to understand, you can! Just make sure to keep your paper ticket and show it to the parking attendant upon your return! Thanks for watching.

[@nameyourpoison1975]

I have a general question first time visitor.. I want front gate parking just want to know what parking garage should i be heading to

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Alvaro! It shouldn't matter which gate you go to as they will direct you to the front gate area from any of the entrances. At least, that's the way it has seemed from my visits!

[@alrensha7479]

How does the front gate parking work? Is that a lot outside near globe? Need some advice.

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! To my understanding, that is right where you park. Basically, it is right outside the security checkpoint.

[@Krasiekj02]

Can you choose what parking lot you want to park into or it's pre-selected for you?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! It is pre-selected if you choose General parking. Thanks for watching!

[@PulseoTV]

At whay time does the parking open for early access for nintendo world

[@JimmyGoodYT]

To my knowledge, it opens 1 hour prior to the beginning of the early access.

[@sandyc8656]

How long was the walk from Jurassic parking lot to the entrance?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Sandy! About 5 minutes or so. Not bad at all! Thanks for watching!

[@Calvinl07]

Hello I was wondering if I have to enter the same way and the same parking lot for the Halloween horror night.

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Calvin! From what I recall during last year, yes! Hope this helps.

[@guillermocastro3169]

Voodoo donut fan here!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Nice! Which one(s) are your favorites?

[@aninditachakraborty9204]

Thank u for sharing are DSLR allowed in Universal studios.We are travelling first time😀

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Thanks for watching! To my knowledge they are allowed. You can always double check their policies on their site too!

[@VictorUng]

Do you know if they have RV parking for a 32” class C motor home?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Victor! According to the web they do! Haven't seen it for myself though. Hope this helps!

[@MV-ds3tz]

Can u park in city walk if you are going to universal studios???

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Yes! They share the same parking. Thanks for watching!

[@alrensha7479]

How does paying for Jurassic parking at Universal studios Hollywood work?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

You pay at the toll booths before going in. Depending on what level of parking you pay for, you will get assigned a certain lot. I have found that on slower days or if you get there early that they will often put you in Jurassic Parking!

[@ksoccer1445]

How do you get to the Jurassic parking from the place you turned into at the start?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

They'll direct you to it after you go through the toll booths. If it has available space, they will send you toward it. Also, if you approach from the West Gate, they will sometimes send you directly toward it as well. Does that answer your question?

[@ksoccer1445]

@@JimmyGoodYT Yes it does. Thank you!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

You're welcome! If you anything else, let me know!

[@arturogonzalez1218]

How do you get to the valet parking?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! To my knowledge, you let them know at the gate and they will direct you from there. Hope this helps!

[@alejandrosandoval8362]

Question! I look on the website it says parking is open at 9 am! But the actual park opens at 8 am? Is the site wrong

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Answer! The lots open about an hour before park open nowadays. Appreciate you watching, Alejandro!

[@dominiquestubbs2640]

Is it much different when a special event is happening? Such as HHN?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Dominique! I have not been there for an event yet, but I believe that they still utilize the same parking. If it is really different when I go to HHN this year, I'll report on it! Thanks for writing in!

[@dominiquestubbs2640]

@@JimmyGoodYT thanks Jimmy!! Appreciate all the info, this will be the first time I’m going to HHN/Universal & your channel is really helpful!! Great content 🤙🏽

[@JimmyGoodYT]

I really appreciate this! It will be my first time too. If you have any further questions, never hesitate!

[@aprildeaton6966]

I am driving a bunch of seniors to universal and I will be paying for the front parking lot do you think it is safe to leave our luggage in the car? I really don't have any other options.

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! I personally cannot make any guarantees, but the lots have always felt very safe to me.

[@daisychicas257]

Do you know what time parking opens ?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Daisy! From what I recall, they were opening about an hour before the park does on any given day. Hope that helps!

[@Eddiejak]

This is my first time going to universal. So do I have to enter that same parking lot to purchase my parking ticket?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! No matter where you approach the lots, there will be attendants to assist you in getting a ticket in. Hope you have fun!

[@blancavillasenor1835]

Is front of the gate parking considered Valet parking???

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hey, Blanca! I do not believe so. That seems to be a separate cost.

[@andrewcarney5293]

Possibly not helpful for you any more, but valet is *not* front gate. Valet is over in Jurassic garage and is a good hike to the front gate (approximately 0.2 miles based on Google maps). This isn’t so bad in the morning, but if you’re there for an evening event like Halloween Horror Nights it can take 10-15 minutes to walk. You have thousands of people heading BACK towards the garage while you and thousands others are going against them heading TOWARDS the park. SUCKS big time.

[@juanalvarez5699]

What time parking open At universal studios

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Typically, it opens about an hour before the park does meaning it varies. For example, if the park opens at 10AM then the parking would open around 9AM. Thanks for watching and asking a question!

[@loriisaak8807]

Does the parking ticket allow for free re-entry same day if you leave mid-day and want to come back?

[@sammywap5242]

What about Frankenstein parking?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, Sammy! This video I made recently might prove useful to you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJmpe3qbnqitpqc

[@OneidaMM]

Does Jurassic Parking have valet parking? We are going to do VIP tour and I need to park in valet parking but I'm a little confused! Do I need to find a VAlet parking sing or Jurassic parking? Do you know? Thanks!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! When you show up to either of the parking entrances, just show them your reservation and let them know you are looking to be directed to the valet section. I take it the VIP tour has it bundled?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Also, I saw big electronic signs today that direct you to valet parking. Just wanted to circle back and let you know!

[@emmanassaweesrion6097]

Parking ticket only buy at the front?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Unless you have the Platinum pass, that is the way I would do it! Thanks for watching!

[@gfgneo]

What are the clearances. My truck needs a 7' clearance

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi! I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I will do my best to check it out when I go this week and I will report back!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

I'm reporting back! I was seeing clearances over 8' when I was there last.

[@gfgneo]

@@JimmyGoodYT yeah i asked when i went on tuesday. The bottom levels are for vehicles with high clearances up to eight feet. All other levels sre 6'6". If the bottom levels are full they have two outdoor parking areas

[@humblebee367]

Can you rank the parking structures from closest to farthest?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi, HumbleBee! Closest to farthest: Woody Woodpecker (Preferred Parking), Jurassic Parking, Curious George, and then finally E.T.

[@tragediesrequiem1]

@@JimmyGoodYT isn't there a Frankenstein parking garage?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

There is! Lately, I've only seen them use the others. However, it seems like it can be used if you want to visit CityWalk or get dropped off by rideshares.

[@andrewcarney5293]

@@JimmyGoodYTI hate that they moved valet up to Jurassic when it used to be (~2019) be in Frankenstein. Literally took like 3 or 4 minutes from the entrance of Frankenstein to the security check point area. Have you been back to Universal recently and asked about Frankenstein at all? Also where is preferred parking? In your video you show the blocked off area and I think you call it “preferred “ but I believe that’s actually front gate parking (~$70). They also have a preferred option… if that’s way over near Jurassic but just parking spots closer to the walkway out of the garage into CityWalk… what a money grab and useless for guests… Thanks for any updates or comments, I’ll be down there for two HHN visits and a day time VIP visit and I would like to avoid as much walking from/to car since I’m planning like 14+ hr days 🤣

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Just seeing this! So sorry. Hope you had a blast at HHN!

[@Edras87]

What’s the height limit in the parking lot?

[@Edras87]

Does the same apply for employees parking?

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hi! From last I heard, the lower levels are for vehicles up to 8 feet while the other levels are 6'6". Hope this helps!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Not sure, but I am pretty sure that parking garage (Curious George) is very similar to E.T.

[@ducavzla]

Hi! So my question is, most of the people pay 30$ for the entire day? Or also during the night people have to pay? Do they accept cash right? (Hopefully) 🫠 thanks for the video!

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Hello! For regular parking, $30 before 5PM and $10 after 5PM is what their site is saying. I haven't seen cash exchanged there. Here is the link, but let me know if you have any more questions! www.universalstudioshollywood.com/web/en/us/plan-your-visit/directions-parking
