    This amphitheater is home to a lot of great concerts. Make sure you give yourself time to park and get through Universal CityWalk, but the shows are All Ages and bring out some incredible acts.

    If you are taking the train. The night bus is terrible and ENDS at 9:00 pm. You will have to walk down the hill after. The train, FYI, last one is around 12:50... meaning you will be stuck and forced
