Guests and Characters Go Maskless Outdoors at Universal Studios Hollywood

Guests are no longer required to wear masks outdoors at Universal Studios Hollywood. All guests are still required to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. We visited Universal Studios Hollywood to see how things had changed.

Guests have been allowed to go maskless outdoors at CityWalk for some time, so signage here has remained the same.

We noticed many characters were going maskless, while some — like Fiona, above — still wore a mask.

According to a Team Member, the same rules apply to both guests and Team Members, meaning the masks are optional outdoors.
