Join us for a full tour of Universal Studios Hollywood’s Fan Fest Nights 2025, the park’s first-ever spring hard-ticket event created by the same team behind Halloween Horror Nights. This after-hours “HHN meets Comic-Con” event celebrates eight fandoms across sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, and anime with immersive attractions, live entertainment, themed food, and more. We’ll show you everything Fan Fest Nights has to offer – from interactive shows to character encounters – all through the eyes of the Haunted Attraction Network, your source for Halloween and immersive event coverage.
We also highlight the $20 Early Access Ticket perks that let you enter at 5:30 PM (90 minutes before general admission). Watch how Early Access gave us a head start to experience key attractions with minimal waits. If you’re planning a visit, see how to maximize early entry by hitting Dungeons & Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep, Star Trek: Red Alert, and Jujutsu Kaisen before the official 7 PM start.
This video covers everything we experienced using Early Access and beyond, including:
• Dungeons & Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep – A live, in-the-round theatrical quest with a giant Xanathar puppet
• Star Trek: Red Alert – A pulsed walkthrough aboard the USS Enterprise-D
• Niffler Encounter – A meet-and-greet with a roaming puppet in the Wizarding World
• Back to the Future: Destination Hill Valley – A 45-minute open-world play on the actual Courthouse Square backlot
• Three Broomsticks 3-Course Meal Deal – A look at the exclusive dinner offering with full review
• One Piece: Grand Pirate Gathering – A fan zone with high-energy character meet-and-greets
• Cosplay Showcases & Trivia – Anime meetup and stage activities at the main plaza
