Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

Tickets & Visitor Guide to a Real Working Studio

⏱ 3 hours👤 All ages$$$

Founded in the 1920s, the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank is one of the oldest and most storied working studios in Hollywood, and its Studio Tour offers an authentic look behind the curtain of the film and television industry. Unlike a theme park, this is the real thing — a guided journey through an active studio where productions are filmed, often on the very day you visit.

Tours typically combine a guided portion (by cart and on foot) through the backlot's famous exterior sets and streets — versatile facades that have stood in for cities and eras across countless productions — with visits to soundstages and self-guided exhibition spaces. Highlights over the years have included recreated and original sets from hugely popular films and TV shows, vast collections of authentic props and costumes, vehicles, and interactive exhibits celebrating the studio's history (from Golden Age classics to superhero blockbusters and iconic sitcoms). Because the lot is a working studio, what you see varies with what's filming.

It's geared toward genuine movie and television enthusiasts rather than thrill-seekers — there are no rides, but the authenticity is the draw. Tours run on timed entry and last a few hours; booking ahead is wise, as they sell out. The Burbank location, in the San Fernando Valley near Hollywood and Universal, makes it easy to fold into a studio-and-Hollywood day. Specific sets and exhibits rotate, so confirm what's currently featured when you book.
