Have you been to a theme park recently? Gone are the days of empty streets and walk-on rides. Instead, expect plenty of crowds, long waits and at least a little sweat.

This can be especially true at Universal Studios, whether you’re visiting in California or Florida. To help with the fatigue, Universal offers an Express Pass — which can help you skip the line and get on more rides.

But is the Universal Express Pass worth it? Let’s take a look.

How does the Universal Express Pass work?

In short, the Universal Express Pass is a ticket that’ll allow you to skip the regular line at participating rides and attractions.

Pass holders use specially designated lanes that can be much shorter than the standard line. This can be especially helpful if you’re visiting during a busy period, such as spring break or the summer holidays.

There are two types of Universal Express Passes. The first allows you to skip the line once per ride or attraction. The second is an Unlimited version that allows you to skip the line as many times as you’d like — even for the same ride.
