Full Description

The Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank

The Warner Bros. lot in Burbank has been a working film studio since the late 1920s, and the studio itself dates back to 1923. Despite the name, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood takes place in Burbank, about twenty minutes by car from Hollywood Boulevard. Searching for Warner Bros. Studio Tour tickets brings you to a genuine production site, not a theme park.

If you are asking how to get to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, driving or a ride-share from Hollywood or downtown Los Angeles is simplest. Parking and transport are not part of your ticket, and the tour operates on set days and times, so choose your slot in the booking panel.

The guided studio tour

The guided part of the tour, in English, takes you through the lot itself, where film and television shows have been made for nearly a century. Your guide explains how studios work, from the backlot streets and soundstages to the production offices where the crews are based.

The guided tour is where you learn how sets are built, disguised and reused, and why the same street can be New York in one film and a small town in another. It is a good answer to the question of what to expect from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour: real stories, fun facts and a chance to see the place where the magic happens.

Stage 48: Script to Screen

Stage 48: Script to Screen is the self-guided part of your visit and often the favourite. Here, sets, costumes and props from famous productions are displayed close-up, and interactive exhibits show how scripts turn into finished scenes with lighting, sound, visual effects and editing.

You can take your time at each display. It is a place for photographs and for younger visitors who enjoy hands-on exhibits. Your ticket also includes entry to the Friends boutique, where fans of the series can look around. Because it is self-guided, you decide how long to spend at each set, and there is no pressure to keep moving with a group.

Planning your tour

Is the Warner Bros. Studio Tour worth it? For anyone who loves films and television, it offers a rare view of a real studio. The best time to visit is a morning slot on a weekday, when the lot is at its quietest. Allow about three hours in total, plus travel time.

Wear comfortable shoes and light clothing, since part of the tour is outside. Tips are not included. Because this is a working lot, some areas may be closed for filming on the day.
