Does Universal have free lockers?

Single-Time Use Lockers at Attractions Single-time use lockers are available at the attractions listed below. Standard-sized lockers (14 in x 5.5 in x 16.9 in): for small loose articles are free while you ride. Larger lockers (12 in x 13 in x 16.9 in) for oversized items can be rented for an additional fee.



Yes, Universal Studios parks (in Orlando, Hollywood, and Japan) offer complimentary lockers at many of their high-intensity attractions where loose articles are prohibited. These lockers are "free while you ride," meaning they are complimentary for a window of time that is dynamically adjusted based on the current wait time for the attraction plus a small buffer. For example, if the wait for Hiccup's Wing Gliders at the new Epic Universe is 60 minutes, your locker will likely be free for 90 to 100 minutes. However, if you exceed this window, you will be charged a "late fee," typically around $5 per hour. These attraction lockers are standard-sized (fitting a small backpack or purse); for larger items or all-day storage, you must rent a paid locker at the front of the park, which in 2026 costs between $10 and $20 depending on the size. This system ensures that the ride-side lockers remain available for guests currently in the queue rather than being used for long-term storage throughout the day.
