Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is THE way to get up close to the movies and television show we all love and watch. Haven't been on the tour yet? Well there is a lot of "lot" covered on the tour and access to places only the people involved in the movie industry usually have access to. So get ready for your close up, it's never the same tour and depending on your guide you might just get more than you were expecting. Lights, camera, action!

So what's happening currently on the tour? DC Universe: The Exhibit, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Harry Potter, The Car vault aka Batcave featuring original Batmobiles, walk on one of the many soundstages and a trip to Stage 48, whew that's a lot right? Oh and until March 6th you can get up close to one of the exterior locations that little movie La LA Land was filmed on during the Lot tour. Your witty tram driver delivers you to each of these destinations making stops along the way and sharing all the rich history the lots has.  FYI: With actual filming happening all around you, no two Warner Bros. tours are ever alike and are subject to filming schedules.

The tour guides take you behind-the-scenes of this working motion picture studio and guide you through many of the building and exterior sets used for classic films and TV shows such as CasablancaBatman, Gilmore Girls, Friends and more. Consisting of 10 backlots and 30 soundstages, Warner Bros. has made some of the most iconic performances in Hollywood history come to life on the studio’s 110-acre backlot.
