Universal CityWalk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universal CityWalk is a part of Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Japan originating from Universal's first park, Universal Studios Hollywood. CityWalk serves as an entertainment district, as well as the path from the parking lots, to the theme parks. All three entertainment districts include shopping, eateries, and entertainment venues.
CityWalk Hollywood and CityWalk Florida both have major similarities and differences, mainly in layout and design. CityWalk Hollywood incorporates a classic modern blend of Hollywood, while CityWalk Florida follows a modern city feel.
