The CI Universal Hollywood Center houses our free, invaluable collection of Universal Studios Hollywood vacation-planning content. It includes over a hundred pages dedicated to Universal City’s attractions, restaurants, and more. Plus, we offer readers six surprising advantages over other conventional guidebooks and websites:

  • Near-constant coverage of new and insider developments throughout the park
  • Extensive, in-depth analysis of all construction projects and park developments
  • Top-notch multimedia, with thousands of HD photos and video content
  • First-hand coverage of annual events (including Halloween Horror Nights and Grinchmas) with annually-updated and relevant trip advice
  • Real-time, real-guest reviews of the theme-park attractions and restaurants
  • Constant in-park photo updates broadcast live from Universal City

We are proud to launch California Informer as the sister site to Orlando Informer, where over three million families plan their perfect vacations and become resort experts every year. We couldn’t be more excited to expand our offerings and become the premier independent resource for guests visiting Universal Studios Hollywood, as well.
