Universal Studios Hollywood Bag Policy

So, you’ve booked your trip to Universal Studios Hollywood—you’re ready to scream on the Jurassic World ride, eat a giant donut, and maybe, just maybe, bump into the Minions. But then, panic strikes: What about your bag? Don’t worry, friend. I’ve got the inside scoop on the bag policy, and I promise it’s simpler than trying to fold a map in the wind.

Here’s the golden rule: Larger bags, backpacks, and coolers are a no-go on most rides. Think of it like a bouncer at a fancy club—your tote bag isn’t getting past the velvet rope of The Wizarding World. But don’t despair! Universal offers free lockers near popular attractions like Harry Potter and The Mummy. Pro tip: They’re first-come, first-served, so channel your inner Olympic sprinter if you’re carrying a bulky souvenir. (Or just leave the bag at the hotel—your shoulders will thank you.)

Now, small bags (the size of a paperback or smaller) are generally fine for walking around, but they still must be stored in a locker on rides. Yes, even that tiny crossbody you “borrowed” from your sister. Security also requires all bags to be checked at the entrance—so no hiding snacks in secret pockets. (I see you, trail mix bandit.)

What about those bags? Fanny packs? Yes, they’re allowed, but don’t get too attached—they’ll still need to go in a locker on high-speed coasters. And medical bags or diaper bags are exceptions, but they must be clearly labeled and inspected. Just think of it as a high-stakes game of Tetris: fit everything into a small pouch, and you’re golden.

The takeaway? Travel light, pack smart, and embrace the chaos. Laugh when you forget the locker number (we’ve all been there). Remember: The bag policy isn’t there to ruin your fun—it’s there so you don’t lose your phone mid-loop-de-loop. So go, conquer that park, and let your only baggage be the joy of a perfect day. After all, the best memories aren’t in your purse—they’re in your heart. (And maybe in a souvenir butterbeer cup. Don’t forget that.)
