If you’re a huge movie geek like me, the only thing more magical than the movies themselves is a place where they’re actually made. Lucky for us, that place is real: Universal Studios Hollywood. There, you can perform magic tricks with Harry Potter, narrowly escape from becoming one of Norman Bates’ victims on the Studio Tour, see the horrors of captivity on the Jurassic Park ride, and much more—and you can do all this while saving animals by eating vegan at the park!
If you and the fam are planning a summer trip—or maybe you’re just impulsively ditching that boring general education class on a Thursday afternoon—keep this guide handy to help you find all the delicious vegan options at Universal Studios Hollywood.
