Calling this Universal Studios Hollywood Customer Number
Calling this number is interesting, as the automated system is easy to navigate, but not necessarily all that helpful. Getting someone on the phone is also a challenge. When I called, I was taken right to the automated system and given several options to get information about Universal Studios Hollywood.
I first opted to choose information about pass blackout dates, and was told that pass blackout dates could be found on the back of my pass, or by going on to Universal's website. This didn't really tell me any new information; it just told me how to find information with an extra step added.
I then asked for park hours, and I was told that on the day in question, the park would be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Once it had given me this information, it asked if I wanted to go back to the main menu. It at least answered the question this time, but it was also a simple question where more information wasn't required.
I then went back to the main menu and asked for park information. This time, it took me to the main help line, which was a surprise. I was expecting to be given options for information and allowed to choose what part of the park I wanted more information about. Instead, I got two rings and a message saying that the information center was currently closed and I would need to try back later. I checked to make sure the time was right, and it was.
Based on this, I wouldn't be inclined to use this number. It seems like Universal wants to push customers to the website, as its help questions either don't offer new information on their own or are quite basic. I'd use this if I didn't have internet, but that's the better option.
