According to Universal, under the curfew, guests under the age of 18 will be required to leave at 9 p.m. unless they are with a parent or guardian, seeing a movie at Universal Cinemark or staying at a Universal hotel.

In 2026, Universal CityWalk has strict curfew policies to ensure a safe environment for all guests. At Universal Orlando Resort, a policy implemented in 2025 requires all guests under the age of 18 to leave CityWalk by 9:00 PM on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian, are staying at a Universal hotel, or are attending a movie at the Universal Cinemark. At Universal Studios Hollywood, a similar policy is enforced by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, generally requiring unattended minors to depart by 10:00 PM nightly. These curfews are strictly monitored by on-site security teams and local law enforcement. For 2026 travelers, it is vital for parents to coordinate pickup times earlier than the curfew, as security will begin clearing the common areas and parking garages of "unaccompanied youth" promptly at the designated times.
