Offering free admission to all California educators through March 31

In recognition of the importance of education and the vital role played by educators in our communities, Universal Studios Hollywood is paying homage to teachers and school personnel with a “Salute to Educators” program, inviting all California educators to receive a free theme park admission ticket, good through March 31, 2010.
All California K through 12 primary/secondary public, private and charter school teachers and school personnel with valid employee, association/union and photo identification are eligible for the free one-day theme park general admission ticket. Eligible educators can also enjoy a 50 percent savings on the purchase of up to three additional general admission tickets for friends and family.
In making the announcement, Larry Kurzweil, President and Chief Operating Officer of Universal Studios Hollywood, said, “This ‘Salute to Educators’ is just another step in our commitment to education aimed at rewarding teachers and school employees and encouraging community partnership in the effort to provide quality education in an environment of shrinking resources.”
Teachers spending the day at Universal Studios Hollywood, The Entertainment Capital of L.A.SM, can enjoy a plethora of movie- and television-based rides and attractions, including “The Simpsons RideTM,” the “Revenge of the MummySM—The Ride” indoor roller coaster, “Jurassic Park®–The Ride” and the world-famous, behind-the-scenes “Studio Tour,” which showcases an exclusive sneak peek of the world’s largest working film and TV production facility.
Universal Studios Hollywood’s long-standing commitment to education began over 12 years ago with the introduction of its popular and ever-evolving school curriculum program, “Youth and Education.” This interactive educational initiative spotlights four areas: Workshop and Lessons, Assemblies, Performances and Youth Days and are designed to meet California State Standards and California Technical Education Standards.
