Warner Bros. Studio

Warner Bros. Studio is one of only a half dozen working studios in LA where you can tour the movie lot, and many consider it the best studio visit in town, though it is much less well known than Universal, which has the bonus draw of the adjoining amusement park. The VIP tour at Warner Bros. is limited to only twelve people and lasts a bit longer than two hours; there is also a Deluxe Tour, which lasts five hours and includes lunch at the studio commissary. Both include time in the Warner Bros. Museum, which is full of movie memorabilia, and time watching a history of Warner Bros. that covers many of the studios greatest hits and provides a good context for what you see touring the 110-acre lot. You’ll visit sets familiar from Casablanca, “The Waltons”, Blade Runner, Bonnie and Clyde and Ocean’s Twelve and may get to visit sound stages for TV shows like “ER” or “Friends”.

Indagare Tip: Children under ten are not permitted on the tour. Other studios that offer tours are NBC, Paramount, Universal and Sony.
