Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

About Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood takes you onto a working film and television studio in Burbank, just over the hill from Los Angeles proper. This is the lot where films and shows have been produced since the 1920s, and the tour moves through backlot streets, soundstages, and production facilities that are still in active use. Because real shooting happens here, no two visits are quite the same: what you see on any given day depends on what is filming, so the route and the sets on display can change.

The tour is a mix of guided tram rides and walk-through areas. Highlights usually include recognizable backlot streets that have stood in for New York, small-town America, and countless other places on screen, along with props, vehicles, and costumes from the studio's catalog. There are dedicated areas tied to long-running franchises, where you can see sets, memorabilia, and behind-the-scenes detail about how scenes are built and shot. Expect plenty of walking between stops, and a fair amount of standing while guides explain what you're looking at.

The studio is at 3400 Warner Blvd in Burbank, a short drive from Hollywood, Universal City, and downtown Los Angeles. Most people arrive by car or rideshare, and there is on-site parking. Tours run to a set schedule and must be booked for a specific time slot in advance, since walk-up availability is limited. Plan for a few hours on site, wear comfortable shoes, and bring sun protection in summer, as parts of the backlot are outdoors with little shade.
