not necessarily and kind of
multi-day tickets include city-walk admission
BUT to re-itterate - you can walk around citywalk and walk into the shops and eat at the restaurants - all for free - but admission is charged after (I believe) 8PM and only at the clubs.

City Walk, part of Universal Studios, is also a front-runner in the nighttimes entertainment industry. The complex has similarities to Down Town Disney (West Side), however its layout is far more compact just like Disneys Pleasure Island.
City Walk is located along a small lake and can only be accessed on foot. Anyone arriving by car must park at one of Universals two enormous parking garages (which are free of charge AFTER 6pm). From there it will take between 5-10 minutes to walk to City Walk. There are moving sidewalks available.
Once you have arrived at City Walk you will discover a wide variety of clubs to suit an enormous range of musical tastes e.g. Motown, Bob Marley, dance music, rocknroll, duelling pianos and Latin rhythms to name a few.
Venues include Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville, City Jazz. Pat OBrians Irish Bar (based very closely on the original in New Orleans including the signature fire and water fountain), NASCAR Café, the Groove, and Bob Marley-A Tribute to Freedom (based very much on Marleys home in Kingston, Jamaica which was converted into a museum after the reggae stars death in 1981.)
There is no admission charge for City Walk, however certain clubs may require a cover charge. Guests have the opportunity to buy a Key to the Clubs for $7.95 plus tax and this will provide admission to all venues.
