What Bags Can You Take Into Universal Studios?

You can generally bring a backpack, crossbody bag, fanny pack, or small tote into Universal Studios, provided it passes security screening and complies with the rules for the park you are visiting. Bag policies can differ between Universal destinations and change over time, so review the official rules for your specific park before you pack, especially if you are considering a large bag or wheeled luggage.

For a day of walking and attractions, we recommend choosing a bag that carries your essentials without becoming uncomfortable when it is full. A compact crossbody or fanny pack keeps items close, while a backpack offers more room for a water bottle, layers, and supplies for your group.

Check the product’s listed specifications when evaluating what bags can you bring.

Being allowed to bring a bag into the park does not mean you can carry it onto every attraction: some rides require loose articles to be stored, and restrictions can vary by ride. Follow the posted instructions and team member directions at each attraction, and be prepared to use a locker when required.

Our team suggests keeping your phone, wallet, and other essentials together so you can transfer them quickly when it is time to store your bag. If you bring a larger backpack, consider whether you will be comfortable carrying it between attractions and whether you may need a larger locker.

Look for a secure closure and straps that sit comfortably when the bag is packed; an adjustable strap can help you find a fit that does not dig into your shoulder. A lightweight, easy-to-clean material is practical for a long day, particularly when you are moving through crowds or carrying snacks and sunscreen.

Pack only what you expect to use, and keep liquids in tightly closed containers to help protect the rest of your belongings. For more ideas on matching a bag to your outfit, explore our Universal Bag Style Guide.
