From Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR)

The drive from the terminal to the park's guest entrance road is about 5.2 miles, or about 12 minutes without traffic. That is an OpenStreetMap route with no traffic, so treat it as an estimate, not a timetable. The terminal is at 2827 N Hollywood Way, at Hollywood Way and Winona Avenue.

For transit, BurbankBus runs on weekdays between the airport and Metro's North Hollywood Station, which is on the B Line. Metro's page also notes a weekend shuttle from North Hollywood Station run by the airport; call 818-558-3179 for current times. Two Metro Bus lines and BurbankBus stop at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC) on the ground level; a free airport shuttle runs between the RITC and the terminal from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Metrolink's Ventura County Line stops at Burbank Airport–South on weekdays, and runs to Union Station. The Antelope Valley Line stops at Burbank Airport–North every day, and also runs to Union Station. The airport runs a free shuttle to both stations from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.; the North station shuttle is on demand, at 818-729-2245. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner also stops at Burbank Airport–South. From Union Station, or from North Hollywood, Metro's B Line runs to Universal City/Studio City station.

Rideshare pickup is at the rideshare plaza in front of the main entrance, next to the terminal parking structure.

From Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

The drive from the terminal curbs to the park's guest entrance road is about 17.3 to 17.6 miles, or about 35 to 36 minutes without traffic, depending on which terminal you start from. That is an OpenStreetMap route with no traffic, so treat it as an estimate, not a timetable.

Metro's C Line and K Line, and Metro bus lines 102, 111, 117, 120 and 232, all serve the LAX/Metro Transit Center. A free, frequent shuttle runs from Bus Bays 1 and 2 there to every LAX terminal. The regular Metro fare is $1.75 one way, with free transfers within two hours when you tap to ride. You never pay more than $5 in a day or $18 in seven days. Children under 6 ride free with a fare-paying adult.

The airport's FlyAway bus runs nonstop, seven days a week, between every LAX terminal and Union Station or Van Nuys. At LAX you board on the Lower/Arrivals level, at the blue FlyAway columns. From Union Station, take the Metro B Line to Universal City/Studio City station. A one-way FlyAway ticket was $12.75 on the airport's fares page in January 2026; confirm the current fare at flylax.com before you travel. Two children under 5 ride free with each paying adult, as of that page.
