A night out next to the park

There are more than 30 restaurants and places to eat, more than 30 shops, a large cinema and an open-air stage. A great way to round off your day at the park, or for an evening out in Los Angeles.

- NBC Sports Grill & Brew: sports bar with screens everywhere and good food.

Shops
On CityWalk you'll find the SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Store, a Universal Studio Store, the NBA Store and shops such as POP MART, the Sanrio Smile Shop, LINE FRIENDS SQUARE, Sephora and Hot Topic. Handy if you want to buy souvenirs without a park ticket.
Cinema, concerts and escape rooms
Universal Cinema, an AMC cinema, has an IMAX screen with laser projection, a PRIME at AMC screen and recliner seats. The open-air stage 5 Towers hosts concerts and DJs, with more than 5,000 LED lights. At Escapology you can play escape rooms, including ones themed to Scooby-Doo and Batman (separate ticket). Around the holidays there's a big Christmas tree and CityWalk is decorated.
