PHOTO REPORT: Universal CityWalk Hollywood 6/24/20 (Universal Studio Store Opens, Replica Movie Merchandise, a Look Into Universal Studios Hollywood, and More!)

We’re back at Universal CityWalk Hollywood! After visiting CityWalk for its grand re-opening two weeks ago, we decided to head back today to visit the Universal Studio Store, take a peek at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium construction, and see what other stores and eateries have opened. Follow along on our recent visit!

Universal Studios Hollywood Temp Checks

We arrived around 1 pm, an hour after CityWalk opened to the public. As we made our way down from Jurrasic Parking (which is still complimentary), we were greeted by security. The temperature screenings ran swiftly and smoothly with no line. For more information on Universal CityWalk Hollywood’s temperature screening, you can read our recent article explaining the process.

We headed over to the Universal Studios park entrance and noticed the music was regularly playing to our surprise, as it wasn’t on the opening day of CityWalk.

Nothing notably different has occurred at the future space of Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.

The 5 Tower courtyard was very quiet. This may be due to more opened eateries and stores on the other side of CityWalk.

On our way out through the Fountain Court, we noticed the CityWalk fountain is still temporarily closed for the time being.
