Two Shows Shutting Down at Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios is known for their epic and entertaining shows, and several of them have been around for quite some time. Two classic shows are sadly ending in January 2023 at Universal Studios Hollywood-Animal Actors and the Special Effects Show. Universal stated that these shows are coming to an end in order to prepare for “future expansion.” Although they did not elaborate on further details as to what the expansions will be, we are excited to see what new attractions are in store for us!

If you’re not familiar with one or both of these shows, you’ll want to be sure you catch them if you’re making a trip to the park between now and Jan. 8, 2023.

Universal’s Animal Actors puts their best paws (or claws!) forward to show off their insanely talented skills. The animal actors have starred in hit films like “Evan Almighty,” “Night at the Museum,” “Ace Ventura Pet Detective” and “Dr. Doolittle”. Hollywood’s elite animal trainers work with their furry friends, a majority of whom are rescues, to showcase their tricks of the trade. Don’t miss your last chance to enjoy our Tinseltown-trained critters putting pet tricks to shame with their animal antics!

The Special Effects Show has always wowed me since I was a little kid! This show will give you a behind-the-scenes look into your favorite movies as stunts, practical effects, and cutting-edge technology come to life through demonstrations by real Hollywood Stunt actors and audience participation. The Special Effects Show runs on weekends and select dates. Check the Universal Studios Hollywood app upon arrival for show times.

Toy Story Land at Night is one of my all-time favo Toy Story Land at Night is one of my all-time favorite things at Hollywood Studios!✨ There’s nothing better than taking a ride with Slink under the lights!🙌🏻🎢 One of the best perks of attending Jollywood Nights is the little to absolutely NO WAIT TIMES for super popular attractions like Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania & many, many more!
