The Walk is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country and the world. You can even search for your favorite celebrities online.

Universal Studios Hollywood
The production company that brought us such classics as Jurassic Park and Psycho has been around for over 100 years. The Hollywood Studios theme park is about half that age but continues to attract millions of visitors every year. It’s easy to see why three sister parks were eventually opened around the globe.
When you’re visiting Universal, it’s going to mostly be about the attractions. The Wizard World of Harry Potter is a great place to snap a few pictures in Diagon Alley. Or maybe you’d like to frame the moment you met a lifesize Transformer in the lower lot. Take a look at these captions to make your pictures a little more magical.
