    Got my goomba! I love him. I have to hide him from my puppy though lol This store has all the cute Nintendo items! I saw sooooooo many adorable plushies!!!!! It was hard to just choose one. As soon as I saw the goomba plushie, I knew that was the one I wanted! Nothing says Super Nintendo like a goomba! He's so cute and well made. I just have to hide him from my puppy, otherwise she will eat him lol And that would make me very sad. The pricing seemed fair for in the park. Service was good. They were friendly. It was a tough decision though. I saw some Yoshie plushies and am also a huge Yoshie fan! If I ever go back, I will grab a Yoshie souvenir. The store has cute cups, coin purses, keychains, power up bands and some clothing. They have a lot of things here. Make sure to go when it is not busy. The store is hard to walk through when it gets crowded.

    After riding Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge, a ride wouldn't be complete if you're not dropped off into a store! The 1-Up Factory is located at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Hollywood on the Lower Lot. You can go into the main entrance or enter it from after the Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge ride. 1-Up Factory offers all Nintendo themed apparel, toys, souvenirs, collectibles, and gifts! This is a great store where you can find all items from the Mushroom Kingdom! You can also purchase wearable merchandise to level up your experience in the Super Nintendo World. The day prior to our early access visit, my husband and I bought the Super Nintendo Bands at the store in Universal City Walk. The store can get really busy, quickly! It was packed when we viewed the store after the Mario Kart ride. There are other stores throughout the Universal Studios Hollywood Theme Park that also offers Mushroom Kingdom merchandise. Inside the store, you'll find the popcorn collectible Mario kart bucket and the Super Star as well! There's a ton of t-shirts and long-sleeved shirts that are Super Nintendo themed! If you're looking for a place to buy Mushroom Kingdom hats, look no further than 1-Up Factory! They had Toad, Yoshi, Bowser, Mario, and Luigi hats available! This is a great store to shop at if you're a fan of the Super Mario series!

    Yelp Review 2023 #196: A souvenir shop located inside Super Nintendo World, it's a nice break from standing in line under the sun for Bowser's Challenge if you're not there by yourself. Otherwise, you just lost your spot in line! When you get off Bowser's Challenge, you'll end up here anyway. You can buy all kinds of Mario Bros souvenirs from t-shirts, boxer shorts, candies, chocolates, backpacks, magnets, keychains, popcorn buckets, water bottles, hats, jigsaw puzzles, mugs, stuffed toys, etc. Your purchase will be in a Super Nintendo World plastic bag. I bought some Mario Bros characters chocolate bars - they're quite pricey but I was giving them away as gifts. I also got a pair of boxer shorts. I asked for a big bag since I've been carrying a box from Toadstool Cafe all day. The nice lady behind the counter double-bagged it for me. There are other souvenir shops inside the park that has Mario Bros items as well. I believe you can get the wristband here too.

    1-Up Factory is a cute shop within Super NIntendo World at Universal Studios. You can find anything and everything Nintendo related here from plushies to tons of clothing to funny little Goomba mushroom hats. 1-Up Factory is so well themed and fun to look around for sure. It's really cool to look around as a Nintendo fan and enjoy the decor. My disappointment is that there is nothing in this shop that you can get exclusively. I was excited to finally get into Super NIntendo World and explore the merch! But alas, there was nothing I hadn't already seen in all the other Universal shops for months. I was hoping for some cool Kirby stuff or really, anything new! Still a lot of cute items, but nothing overtly special being sold in the shop. I know space at Universal is limited but this shop is very small, as well. It's really cramped and packed with merchandise. I kept getting trapped because people would stop to look at things and there was no way around them. I don't think the design was well planned out to navigate crowds & traffic. I considered buying a few candy items for friends but the flow of the checkout line is incredibly confusing, overwhelming, so just decided to skip it. I'll only pop back in if I see the shop is empty and look around a bit more. Overall though, a pass after the initial visit to enjoy the decor.

    Just like any attraction in Universal Studios, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD has a gift shop to commemorate your visit. It's called the 1-UP Factory retail shop which is just outside the exit from the end of your ride to the castle. It offers an extensive selection of merchandise from Mario and Luigi themed apparel to iconic character hats and various plush characters, including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser. You can purchase a power up band here at $40 each which enables you to collect points every time you visit SNW. There were two things I wanted from this store which sadly were both unavailable on my visit. First was the Mario hat which I was told was already sold out and unknown when it'll be restocked. Second was a souvenir fridge magnet but it's kind of odd that they don't carry such item.

Nan helped clear my blues away. This shop has beautiful clothing, jewelry, kitchenware, scarves, hats, crossbody bags, candles, and much more. I was having a lot of indecision, and Nan directed me to some beautiful candles and suggested lighting one and having some tea and meditating with it. I wound up purchasing a beautiful scented candle and also a lovely dish with a bluebird painted on it. All told, my retail therapy didn't even cost me $40! Scentsabilities is a very reasonably priced shop. It was nice to chat with Nan for a little bit, as she's very kind. She also gave my pug a little treat, which made his day. I highly recommend browsing this store, especially if you don't know what you want, but want something beautiful. You will come away happier than when you walked in.

The mirror was directly across the changing room and you had to open the curtains to see yourself. When I was looking in the mirror I noticed the employee who was sitting at the desk just starring at me through the mirror. I realized that she was able to see me when I was topless changing. Beware if you are going to try clothes on here!

    Welcome to thee Universal Studios Store of Hollywood inside Universal's very own CityWalk…read more This mega souvenir, collectibles and some might even say essential gift shop is filled to the gills with incredible items from all your favorite past, present and future universal favs, from Minion to Muggles, Pride to all things summer and seasonal. Their Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast Wizarding section is by far the biggest and most celebrated section and rightfully so, this Gryffindor always appreciates the expansive collection, but not always those prices o.o, then again they carry so many cool rarities and replicas it's not surprising, but your wallets might say otherwise. A lot of patrons tend to come here after a day at the theme park, literally next door to the entrance for Universal Studios, however being one of the very first and few permanent staples of CityWalk it's one I think anyone should pop in and enjoy, not just for the service or abundance, but for the experience. Great customer service, perfect displays and an extended shop, currently celebrating the motion picture duology Wicked and Wicked: For Good, which you can enter from any entrance or from it's own entrance and still access the rest of this emporium of mugs, plushies, shirts, toys, trinkets and so many cool things. There is similar store inside the park, however this one is rarely crowded and you're still very much able to use your membership discounts and enjoy. Some top films and franchises you can find sections for, aside from the mentioned are Jurassic World/Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T., How to, Train Your Dragon, Transformers, Terrifier, The Mummy and classic logo items for Universal Studios. You can access this open everyday of the full week must via the Universal Tram from down below the bridge and LA Metro station hub for Universal/Studio City. The closest parking garage is the Frankenstein Garage which you can access from two sides including the rideshare, valet and prefered parking areas. The first few lowest levels are typically all reserved from employees and affiliates. All other parking is through the main parking entrance great with the iconic gate sign, just to the right of the Frank Parking Lot.

I found them during the Christmas season when I needed gifts wrapped, and I remember being blown away -- the level of detail, care, and perfection was unreal. Every single gift I gave got compliments, and people kept asking me who did them. Since then, I've kept going back for birthdays and special moments, and somehow they exceed my expectations every time. Most recently, I needed a last-minute balloon and flower setup for my partner's birthday, and they came through same day and even hand-delivered it to me. It was beautiful, thoughtful, and made the whole moment feel so special. What really stands out is the love they put into their work. They're kind, reliable, and go above and beyond in a way that's rare. Supporting them feels good because they genuinely care. If you want your gifts or events to feel elevated and meaningful, this is it. I'm a forever customer

From start to finish, the experience was effortless and very professional. Their communication was clear, consistent and prompt, they offered a great selection of wrapping papers and ribbon options, and they made the whole process feel easy despite the volume. It was literally a gift that kept on giving! The turnaround time was impressive, the presentation was beautiful, and the attention to detail really showed. On top of that, their customer service was superb--friendly, accommodating, and truly focused on making sure everything came out perfectly. I'm incredibly happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend It's a Wrap for any and all wrapping needs, big or small. And the shop is so cute, like straight out of a hallmark movie!
