Warner Bros. Studios

Went to the Holidays Made Here event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Gilmore Girls on New year's eve 2025. Even though we went on the regular studio tour (tram ride), all we cared about was getting into Stars Hollow and walking around. I've been on WB Studio Tour before but wasn't able to get into the Stars Hollow area previously due to filming happening. It was so cool walking all the streets that Rory & Lorelai once walked down. WB allowed us to stay as long as we wanted so we wandered Stars Hollow for hours. Visited The Dragonfly Inn, Doose's, Luke's Diner, Kim's Antiques & more! Even though it was raining & cold, it will always be one of my favorite New year's eves ... EVER!!

Really cool experience. Especially if you love Friends; Harry Potter, Big Bang Theory. Lots of interactive exhibits

Really busy and super packed. Waited 1 hrs 15 min for an ice cream sundae. And that's not counting the 30 min prior to ordering it. And let's not talk about the restroom lines for women.

We had so much fun! Our guide Felipe was so much fun and very knowledgeable!! Definitely recommend!

That was very interesting tour, situated not far in Burbank⭐️

Took the tour on 2/12. I was not impressed by the tour at all considering how much we paid for it. There was two interesting things about the tour that were not mentioned. One is the parking space reserved for Tom Cruise, second in the midwest housing set, there was an actual car with a license plate implying that it was Tom C. He's only the biggest star in hollywood. The stage visit was ok, the kids liked the exhibits on how movies are produced. I can't believe I pay $10 for 2 small bags of chips. I wouldn't do it again.

It's fun to see the various Sets that makes such great Visual experience in various Films and Television Shows. Addon attraction is the insightful commentary of the Guide and the crisps AVs displayed in your tour golfcarts.

What a great experience. Tram ride through the back lots, then unlimited time checking out the various insides like Batman, Friends, all the cartoon characters etc.

A very enjoyable tour but not the best value. We arrived at 10am there were six of us. The staff were helpful and cheery. We started with a movie in a large screening room regarding the history of the Warner brothers and the studio. Then we went on a tour of the lots where shows and movies were shot extremely interesting. We mostly rode around in extended golf carts but also did a bit of walking. About an hour on tour and 20 minutes for the movie. One suggestion - the focus was on shows from the past ten years we think more elaboration on historical shows/movies would be good. Cost was $75 per person. An expensive tour. Worth a visit but not the best value. Mark & Nancy.

Decided to visit on a whim after seeing a video on social media that currently you can see the costumes worn by the actors in Superman and it was worth the visit. Just fyi, if you want to see David Corenswet's superman suit you have to pay for the lot tour which costs $76. I booked the tour on the spot and it was definitely worth the price and time. The guided tour is about an hour and my tour guide was fantastic. Got to ride around the different stages, lots, behind the scenes areas such as the front of the school for Abbot Elementary. Learned interesting facts about different tv shows and movies that have filmed there such as Netflix's You. Honestly the highlight of the tour was getting to look at David Corenswet's superman suit and cape. Loved the movie and getting the chance to look at the actual suit along with plenty of other costumes worn by different characters was a cool experience. Theres plenty of free street parking available as well and if you opt out of doing the tour, access to the studio store/starbucks is free, so I would check it out as well!

I have been on this lot a couple of times for live television tapings. It fun to walk through here and see the lot where so many iconic movies and TV shows have been filmed. You can see the famous Warner Bros. Water Tower from afar as you approach Burbank. It doesn't hold water anymore but does have the famous WB shield logo on it. I have never done the Warner Bros Studio Tour before. But I have walked through the lot on my way to some TV tapings. This studio lot was built in 1926. Many famous Hollywood movies were filmed on Stages 15 and 16. I got to see a taping of "Conan" on Stage 15 back when the show was on. Stage 16 is one of the tallest stages in the world and has a large water tank. Stage 24 is known as the "Friends Stage" and is where the show popular TV show was filmed. The backlot has various exterior sets that are used for scenes that take place in New York City or for western scenes. Warner Bros Studios has a Central Perk Café on site that is designed to look like the popular coffeeshop from "Friends". Part of Warner Bros. Studio Tour includes a visit to this café and recreated sets from the show.

I have been coming here for gigs every now and then for a long time. This is by far my favorite studio. Parking lot has enough space between and people are some what respectful to other people parked there. The security people are always helpful and guide me to the right stage. Bathrooms are clean and sets are cool. I love coming here. No complaint.

An actual working film studio with a huge studio store, museums and tour exhibits. There's a commissary, a cafe grill that you can visit if you option that on the tour. And they also have a Starbucks. There may be areas that are off limits but only because of filming. You never know who you might see!

This review is really for 1iota Attending a screening there yesterday for an untitled horror film from new line cinema! Amazing theater to screen this movie in Staff was very courteous and friendly This was my second screening there Looking forward to attending more. Thanks 1iota and WB!

Watching a taping at Warner Bros. Studios is a fantastic way to experience the magic of television firsthand. The exciting atmosphere, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and chance to see your favorite actors in person make it a worthwhile experience. I was able to watch here a taping of the last season of Big Bang Theory. It's fun to see the set in person, experience the live energy of the actors, and be part of the audience laughter or applause. I have also been in an event sponsored by AT&T which included a studio tour. Unfortunately, I arrived very late and missed the tour but was able to watch an interview session with Laverne Cox and Elizabeth Banks. However, I haven't been lucky to see any movie screenings here. I've secured tickets but it's not a guaranteed entry to the taping itself as seating is often on a first-come, first-served basis.

I love this place this is the 2nd time we been hear and me and my daughter love it!!! We came for mother day for a Gilmore girl brunch and a meet with Luke aka Scott Peterson!!! Honestly wow!!!! Not only was stars hollow set up it was a Gilmore girl fan dream come true we had breakfast egg bacon sausage bagels Scott Peterson coffee and pancake yummy!!! Every one well the staff was accommodated and friendly price is good I love the tour I will always be back

If you are looking for something to fun to do that may is unique, this may be for you. I have taken the Warner Bros tour 4 times over the last 10 years plus attended other events on the lot. This lot has so much to see. Each tour is constructed to have some flexibility. So one tour may go left, and yours may go right. We went to the Holidays Made Here tour. It is a great tour for Gilmore Girls fans. I felt that for people who have never been on the tour, you may have felt disappointed. I love GIlmore Girls so I went specifically for this time of year. We start off with a video. Our tour guides then greet us. A group of about 12 sit on a golf cart with their tour guide. We then take off around the lot. We got to walk through a set. Our tour guide never stopped spewing facts the whole way. We stop and walk through Stage 48 to explore costumes and more behind the scenes sets. Take photos in the set of Big Bang Theory and Friends. Then we go to make our way to Midwest Street. We were free to explore the whole area with no restraint. The whole area was dressed like Gilmore Girls set which was filmed originally there. We spent a good 4 hours there. There was so much to do. We decorated cookies at Snookies, Had tea at The Dragonfly Inn, Chopped at Doose's, etc. Had a great time! The only bummer was they had run out of a lot of sizes on merch.

Words fall short on describing how cool and amazing this place is. So much history, so much amazing spots and so many unique things to try. The tour is so much better than the what is sounds like in website description. We got the tour+ l, 2 hours of guided tour. Upon arrival you enter the building with gift shop right in front, a starbucks and ticketing area. The tour begins right on time, with first 15 minutes in a lounge, full of snacks, bakery and drinks. The begins a WB video, after which you meet your tour guide. Our tour guide Ian was beyond amazing. He was so knowledgeable, so energetic and enthusiastic, made the whole tour extra special. First we went thru the jungle where among other the first Jurassic Park's Trex chase scene was shot. Then we went thru a town area where among others the scene from TBBT was shot, where Howard takes Shelton on scooter ride. Then we stopped at the props department where we saw thousands of movie props, including Agent smith dummies from Matrix, Casablanca's original chandeliers, horror movie props and many many more. After that we drove through the studios at the made up location of Friend's fountain and orange couch. After taking some pics, we were taken to some of the sets and to Studio 25, which was the home of The big bang theory. We got to see how the sets are created, where lights and cameras are hooked, and how sets are decorated to bring the life into it. After that, we head to the NYC area, where we saw the broadway set and the spot where Toby Mcguire did the upside down kiss in Spiderman. Then we head to the mid-west location where we saw many houses that where set for many of famous movies and shows like Young Sheldon, Gilmore girls. The guided tour is at 2 hour mark at this point and we were dropped of at Studio 48 where Central Perk cafe is, and few other surprises including the original Big Bang Theory's apartment set. With tour+ we got coupon for free entree, drink and a side. Food was decent. The central perk gift shop has many memorabilia from the show, plus so many different Friend's swag to purchase. After the meal, you enter the exhibition of Studio 48 that begins with some tribute to scriptwriting. Then there's a section tributing the art department, where they have some original costumes of Crazy Rich Asian movie. Then there's a whole section dedicated to Friends. We already had went to Friends experience in NYC, so we skipped this part. After Friends, comes the big bang theory set, where they have the guy's apartment, the hall between the guys and Penny's apartments. They have photo station here and let you take pick on the iconic couch, and Sheldon's SPOT. Being a hardcore fan of the show we spent a lot of time here. After the set, you walk to a green screen recording area. Here we had the chance put ourselves in Batman's batpod chase scene from Dark Knight. There was another green screen for Harry Porter's broomstick flying. This was real fun to do, as we got experience first hand what it feels like to be an actor in a green screen scene. From there we move on to the sound recording area, where you get to voice Morpheus' blue and red pill scene with your own voice, aka ADR. There are few other options for couple of other movie scenes to do the ADR. The tour of Studio 48 ends here, then you exit and hope on a cart to go back to the building where the tour began. As you walk to this building, you get to see a whole section dedicated to DC movies, including props and seta from batman, bat cave, superman, wonder women, aquaman. There's one spot dedicated to Game of thrones. Then there's a huge part full of Harry Porter props and sets. Finally you exit to the gift shop that we originally see at entrance of the building. The gift shop has swags from TBBT, DC, Harry Porter, Friends and many many more shows/movies. Just amazing and mind boggling!!! After the guided tour, self guided tour takes about 2-3 hours.

In the off chance that an exec sees this, please please please bring back "horror made here". Every year I look to see if the event is back & every year I have to settle with the other local events. Horror made here was interactive, scary, and the best horror event I've ever participated in. Just Start advertising in August, bring in influencers for an event, & I'm sure the event will take off.

BRING YOUR BIG ENERGY TO THE JHUD SHOW Was selected to be a guest in the audience of a live taping for one of Jennifer Hudson's talkshow. A month prior, I watched her perform live in San Diego with the San Diego Symphony and she talked about her talk show coming up. So, I had to secure a seat!!! Obviously, I'm a J.HUD fan. SELECTION. Pick a date and hope for the best! If selected, an email will be sent out requesting date and how many tickets. Then another 1-3 days for confirmation. Week prior to the show, they will send information of where to go, what to wear, etc. SHOW DAY. Taping starts at 2:15p, check-in is before 1p (Covid tents open as early as 1130a) and you probably do not leave until 4-4:30p. Parking is provided, tents for rapid Covid testing, masks are option to wear during taping (if so must wear the purple ones that they provide). I got a front row seat even though I was towards the end of the line (showing up right before check-in while many people there for hours). The staff will tell you where to sit, not you getting to pick your seat). BIG ENERGY. Bring your big energy, you will need it. There are about 4 acts. Lots of taping and stopping and music and dancing. Yes, DANCING! It was a lot of fun. To see the famous people feet before you. To laugh at the bloopers and everything - JHUD is pretty funny. Lots of clapping... clap before, clap after, clap during breaks... I felt like I was non-stop clapping for a few hours my hands hurt. Overall, had a good time. Got some free stuff. And hope to see JHUD again in the future. Until the next review...

I hate to channel Mr. T, but pity the fool that screws with Turner Classic Movies. One of the few remaining pure plays on cable is being radically downsized by the post-merger head shrinkers at Discovery Warner Brothers. Even as I was selling blood every month to afford the stratospheric rise of cable subscriptions, TCM was one of the few networks that made the monthly extortion palatable. Launched by Ted Turner in the early '80s as a means to showcase his immense library of MGM films, TCM has become almost indispensable to the lovers of film and those who seek to preserve the incalculable cultural legacy of these titles. So naturally, the forensic accountants at Discovery/WB have no use for cheap sentimentality and are this close to nixing the entire channel. For it's part, Comcast has made the decision easier by removing TCM from their basic tier and forcing subscribers to pay $9.99 a month for the NFL Red Zone in order to continue with TCM. I could go on for days about the shake down artistry of Comcast (and the NFL) but at this point we'll have to rely on the last minute intercession of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese to twist the right arms at Discovery. We'll just see how potent shame is but I'm not holding my breath. The recent Atlantic Monthly title about the issue "I Guess Movie Lovers Can't Have Nice Things" about says it all. Score one for the forensic accountants. One star for blatant mendacity.

I have visited Warner Bros. studios for screenings, taking friends on the studio tour, and recording music at the Eastwood Scoring Stage. All the screening rooms, from the big theater to the smaller rooms have excellent picture and sound (as one would expect at a major studio lot!). The studio tour is one of my favorites in LA: it is much more an informative experience than a theme park ride as you get at other studios...packed with interesting info about how movies are made and a look at some of the stages. This is probably niche info for Yelp, but the Scoring Stage is one of the best places to record music for film in the world and I can't recommend it highly enough!S

Warner Brothers Studios (Virtual Tour) since I can't return in person! Since I don't live nearby in California anymore and I'm not going to visit my relatives, I took the VIRTUAL tour. I recommend you do the same. My photos are screenshots I took during the virtual tour. These are of things that gave me the feel of being there. One photo is my poster from the James Dean movie I own. Another photo is a small sample of my Warner Brothers DVD's. In my mind my review of this virtual visit is not any different than Yelpers Virtual Events with reviews. It's not easy photographing while watching. I did the best I could. Regarding my relationship with Warner Brothers Studios, I lived in California at one time. Take my word for it I've been here. Before when I visited my family in California all the movie and music locations were my destination! Here's a tip; take a Virtual Tour! I'm taking virtual tours now of all the studios from the safety of my home. There isn't enough room nor do I have the desire to list all of the many Warner Brothers film, television and recordings that I love and have enjoyed over the past 70 years! I own digital copies of so many it's in the 1,000's of gigabytes. Recently they have been showing the Looney Tune and Merry Melodies Cartoons on the channel I watch. That's another huge portfolio of enjoyment owned by Warner Brothers. It's my understanding that at this time In Person Studio Tours have been halted due to the Covid Pandemic. I guess I'm not missing anything. I still have the fruits of WB's labor to keep me entertained daily. I can still enjoy a virtual tour. Warner Brothers makes doing that easy online. Their guides are knowledgeable and smiling to brighten my day.

Some Good Movies. Some Bad. But this is the place where Dreams Go and choke on their own screenwriting programs. Be wary. However - if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

While working I thought about how many people's dreams come true here at Warner Bros Studios. As I was styling a female actress's hair who has come from Guadalajara, Mexico. I ask what is your actor's story. The challenge she said is a thick Mexican accent, and she doesn't read English very well. She had bought a one-way ticket to Los Angeles just before the lockdown to make it as an actor. I asked her, then what did you do? She said she was determined to make it so she practiced her English with her aunt and watched American tv shows during the lockdown. For her, there was no going back. A year and a half later here she is accent and all as a cast member of a Hollywood TV Show. And at the studio, she had dreamed of all her life. She said it's been surreal I loved her story and spirit. The moral of the story - Don't Quit - Keep Dreaming - You could end up at Warner Bros. Peace/love Be A Proud American

Really cool studio! My friends and I went for a Conan taping, after which we got to walk through the area a bit then end up in the gift shop. There are lots upon lots here! It's a huge, massive area, probably the biggest studios I've ever seen with tons of very popular TV shows and talk shows filmed here. Plus, some great movies! It's pretty darn cool. In gift shop area, they have some great props from Harry Potter I was dying over! Plus the most adorable Friends Central Perk shop and the Friends door you can take photos in front of. I was all over that. I'd love to come back for their more in depth studio tour. It's definitely on my to do list!

The CEO David Zaslav made 250,000,000, a quarter of a billion dollars, last year. The profits are higher then ever, yet they won't pay writers a basic living wage. I'm an Executive Chef, so this only affects me as interfering with my entertainment, but as a person who believes in fair pay for hard work I am enraged at the arrogance of the CEO's like this entitled POS. I regularly cater for people like the CEO of Chase and many other banks. I will be letting them know what general people think of the heads of these studios spitting in the face of writers.

The tour begins with wonder and imagination until you are driven to off sets of the early century no longer in use. Great to learn historical shows and sets but nothing to modern filming. The tour is then taken to a gymnasium and lockers and more useless adventures. Then dropped off for a walk tour of pictures. To be driven once again to Statues and museum. Nothing more than a museum with no REAL on set visual. Very disappointed and look forward to Universal Studios.

I got invited to the Jennifer Hudson show and was able to walk around Warner Bros. studios afterwards the set up of everything was really nice. Everybody's super professional there next time. I hope to get a lot more clearance so I could check out their stuff.

Last night Jackie and I were invited here for a free preview screening of the Fantastic Beasts sequel; The Crimes of Grindelwald at this studio's Steven J. Ross Theater. Compliments of a Warner employee and one of my wife's friends through her women's cancer support group in Pasadena. I'm told that we'll be invited to other future major Warner's releases as well. The Steven J. Ross is a grand theater that rivals most any other movie venue I've attended as far as sound quality (amazing) and comfort are concerned. Such a pleasure to be VIP guests. I also got to meet several of my wife's fellow support group ladies and their families; all wonderful people. Great security check at the studio gates. This movie may be a bit too intense for your little ones but the special effects and sound editing are outstanding. And that Johnny Depp as Grindelwald is a "bad man, a very very bad man"! I hope to take a studio tour here someday, my wife had that pleasure several years ago.

Went on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour on 12/30/18 and had such a blast! Esther was our Tour Guide and she did a fabulous job! Loved her level of professionalism, but even more loved her sense of humor and knowledge of the history behind the Warner Bros. Studios. We visited many sound and recording stages where many shows and movies were filmed, such as Gilmore Girls, Friends, Ellen, Spider-Man, Batman, Casablanca, Big Bang Theory, ER, Full House, Fuller House. Some areas had props and costumes from Harry Potter, DC (Wonder Woman, Superman, Aquaman,) and the actual cara filmed in Batman. At the end of the tour, there is a gift shop and restaurant where you can relax and shop. Make sure to use the restroom before heading out on the tour because you won't be able to go until the tour ends.

I came here to run the WB's third annual 5k race hosted on their lot. Imagine yourself running through the lots of New York city blocks with a mixture of their beautiful buildings where creativity comes into fruition and the ideas are brought to life. The event was packed with families and friends alike. It was also very wonderful to see many of the family & friends from the Warner Brothers Triathlon Team. So much quality love in this group and so many unforgettable memories over the years. The memories stretch over various triathlons including the Hermosa Tri, Dessert Tri, Malibu Tri, Wildflower Tri, & so much more.... This team really propels you to your best, even to the ultimate feat of an Ironman race. This team continues to grow bigger and better each year, especially with the help of Coach Mary, Coach Sean, and Coach Doug. The WB Tri-Team's booth at this event was extended across the lawn. I can't wait to go back and run this race again.

One of the best studios to work at in LA. WB has several entrances and exits, easy to get to, super careful w Covid protocols and I enjoy being able to walk around the NYC sets once done w work. Always a great experience. Wish I had an office here.

Second Studio Tour on our trip! This one I was really excited for because they had Harry Potter, Friends, Gilmore Girls, and the cafe from la la land. It is a 5 Stars because it was an out of this world experience and a once in a lifetime thing for me, but compared to other tours it was a 4 Stars. You enter the building by the back entrance (make sure to tell your taxi/Uber, we got sent to the wrong Warner Brothers entrance) and you pass security. They have a Starbucks while you wait to be checked in. The tour starts with a little video montage and then you're off to the carts. The cart seats 3 per row but most of our group was in 2's so we had to split up. Our tour guide was nice but he didn't share the same interests as us so we couldn't really talk about our love for the same movies/series. And if there's one thing you need to know about studio tours, the guide makes it or breaks it. The Gilmore Girls set was closed because they were setting something up. But we got to see the Ellen set which was cool. The Harry Potter part was mostly props, and I love props but it would've been cool to see a set (I suppose those are in London). I did get sorted by the prop hat though! Gryffindor! The Friends part was mostly Central Perk recreated at Studio 48, which you visit after the tour. You also get to do a green screen shoot on a broomstick for harry potter which is kinda surreal. They have a lot of superhero stuff so if you're into batman, wonder woman, superman, this is for you! I'm only mildly a fan. It was cool that you could walk out of the cart and see the fake buildings but without some sort of example of what they were in, it was hard to imagine them being in a movie/series. There were no screens to show us any examples. We saw the Big Bang Theory set which was cool! But I wish we could've seen it in action instead of all put away. We also couldn't take pictures of it. Overall, an amazing experience because I had never seen anything from a movie set in my life. But not the best studio tour in LA.

12/13/19 "The Warner Bros. Studio Store was a chain of retail stores selling Looney Tunes and other merchandise based on Warner Bros. films, similar in style to The Disney Store. They first opened in 1991 and when Warner Bros. owner Time Warner merged with Turner Broadcasting (which owned Hanna-Barbera and the pre-1986 MGM library, including the iconic classic "The Wizard of Oz") in 1996, merchandise based on Turner properties were added to the product lines. In 2001 all Warner Bros. Studio Stores went out of business after just ten years but in 2006 the stores were reopened in China when Warner Bros. Consumer Products partnered with PMW Retail." I have been there several times when I was younger. There were two stores that I remember,  but Montgomery Mall (Now known as Westfield Montgomery) was the one I went to the most.   I remember buying Looney Tunes  merchandise for my mom, dad and sister during my senior year in High School. I loved the merchandise, but it was pretty expensive.  Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck and Foghorn Leghorn had some of the best  merchandise designs.  While looking online I saw one shirt that seems familiar to me. It is also Marvin the Martian 100% like Marvin the Martian. Maybe Marvin the Martian and Foghorn Leghorn could get alone, but probably not since they don't like being contradicted, listening to other people's ideas or opinions.    The online store has stuff like Wonder Woman, Pennywise and my personal favorite Marvin the Martian.  Aside from those names, I did not see many shirts or sweaters the got my interest.  Still, if you wish to check out the Warner Bros online website,  its: https://www.wbshop.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAis3vBRBdEiwAHXB29Jw_e0181D9vDxtblZGGpEeRrbFtT5sm7iC3nitLpMnvQ69OwjazFRoCiDkQAvD_BwE Maybe you will find something for Christmas.

I did not realize that there would be an amazing Batman vehicle exhibit when i decided to take this tour. I was so ecstatic when we entered the exhibit. So many times I gasped out loud during this tour because I recognized the pretty little liars houses, which overlapped with Gilmore girls. I had so much fun and I highly recommend this tour because it was educational and fun. The only negative thing was the girl at the check in area. Terrible attitude.

I would like to start this review by saying I have never taken a guided tour, this is from a perspective of someone who has access that can drive and walk around freely. (or ride a bike) I work in the entertainment industry. I used to work on a TV show that filmed at Warner Bros. Studios. My job takes me to many studio lots, but Warner Bros. is my favorite. Here are my reasons why I love it so much: - Warner Bros. is always kept clean - Great Museum for visitors - The museum has some great behind-the-scenes activities. - Good Food - They have a commissary where the food is really good; great hot entrées, salads and desserts. - Gift Store - You can find DVDs , movie and TV memorabilia that you can't find anywhere else. Employees get an employee discount too! - Coffee - Starbucks and a Coffee Bean - Electric charging for cars - Parking lot by Gate 7 or plenty inside. - A state-of-the-art Gym with a wonderful shower. - Probably the best 'Back Lot' - So many iconic films and TV shows have filmed in this Back Lot. - They have a pond - Very spacious - Have their own fire Department If you have a chance to walk around Warner Bros. You should try to explore. Keep an eye out for these hidden gems: - Find the town the Gilmore Girls filmed at - Look for the train tracks high above, its next to the Hosptial in ER. - Find the restaurant set they used for the TV show Shameless. - Find the alley in Spiderman where he did famous the upside down kiss. - look for the basketball court near the gym, you might find Actors playing basketball. (George Clooney, used to be a regular) - Find the pond they use in the TV show True Blood. - Look for Clint Eastwood's production office it's right next to George Clooney's. Take lots of pictures. Oh, and Stage 9... It's supposed to be haunted.

This review is specifically for the FRIENDSGIVING TOUR. I went with my sister and friend and had a blast. I've been on the normal tour a few years ago and saw some Friends stuff, but I still felt like this experience was new and different! They really put effort in making the whole tour FRIENDS themed, and I loved every minute. Some highlights: + Guides and employees are all wearing Friends shirts. Love! + During down time, we'd play Friends trivia + Fountain/umbrella/couch/lamp photo shoot + Phoebe's taxi photo op + "Phoebe" singing songs from the show during our Thanksgiving meal + Funko Pops of Friends characters

Lived here in CA almost my entire life but never been to Warner bro studio. I am a huge friends fan and the other weekend I just got this urge to see it. It was so much fun and our guide was informative. Interesting to see how the same stage can be used for different scenes and movies just by adding a few details. Also got to sit and pose on the famous central perk couch. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Warner brothers has been around since 1920's and over the years have made thousands of movies and shows that everyone can relate too.

This review is specifically about THE JENNIFER HUDSON SHOW. Apparently the prospective guest list from ELLEN was just turned over to the JHS and they started contacting us about attending. We responded that we had absolutely no interest and asked to be removed from the list. That did not work - the emails continued and we got a bit more stern about the request to NOT receive any contact from them and blocked them. Yet again today, email from a different person [PARKER SCURRIA] at the show touting congratulations that we have been chosen for the show audience. With no option to opt out of this it reeks of harassment and at this point they are certainly par with telemarketers.

I came here for a "Mom" studio taping. There are lots of online sites where you can sign up for free taping tickets, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The ticket told us where to park. There were multiple show tapings going on, and lots of people were already lined up. The staff, regardless of which show they were working, were helpful to direct which line to get in. Everyone has to show their ticket and ID. Once checked in, security will stamp your hand with a special "WB" stamp that can only be verified with a blacklight. Leave your phones in the car. They check your bags and you have to walk through a metal detector. If you have your phone, they'll collect it with your ID and you can get it back at the end of the night. This is done right before you enter the studio. We weren't really sure what the taping would entail; not a lot of information was given other than when and where to show up. After check-in and being escorted onto the premises, we were directed where to sit in the studio and handed a program of information about the evening's taping. The taping was scheduled to begin at 6:30pm. A little after 6pm, they played a previously recorded episode for the audience, I suppose to familiarize you with what you're going to see. After they aired the episode, I thought the taping was done. Maybe they were just getting stuff for the laugh track? But then, they introduced the stars and crew, they came out, gave some smiles and waves, and then the taping went underway. They had three basic sets - outside in an alley, a home, and "black box theater" to film the inside of car scenes. Unless you're seated smack dab in the middle, you probably won't get to see them film every scene. Scenes were filmed at least twice. It was interesting to see how the actors recover when they flub lines. You're instructed to laugh every time like it's the first time you've seen it. Some scenes have already been shot. Those are incorporated and shown on overhead tv screens, when they're recording your laughter/reaction. In between shots, the emcee called on audience members to dance and he gave out candy. Halfway through the taping, everyone was given a carryout container with one small slice of cold cheese pizza, a napkin, and a mini bottle of water. Unexpected, but a kind gesture. Overall, I liked the behind-the-scenes look of the experience, but if you're not big on sitting around and waiting, sans phone, the whole audience taping experience probably isn't for you, unless you're a big fan of the show.

Always a good experience at WB Studios. The staff is always professional but never over the top. I've been to some places where it almost felt like a crime to talk! Came here with a golden ticket: a taping of Ellen. Everything was well organized. They make sure you know where to park days before the event. There's metal detectors and id checks when you park. You're whisked away across the street to a waiting area before entering the studio. But when you enter the studio, it's like magic to finally see her set in person. Great time! Would love to go back

Great experience with the family. If you grew up watching the TV series such as ER, Friends, Gilmore Girls, or watching movies such as Batman etc. then this is the place to go. It is a great experience to see the various stages where all the shows and movies were filmed. The tour starts in a big golf cart taking you around the studio to see the made up jungle and lakes, to see the made up midwestern town, live studio where Ellen show is filmed, to finally end where you see the Harry Potter, Friends, Big Bang Theory, and DC heros actual movie props. The studios and fake town are normally used for live filming during week days so you cannot walk around after the tour. When we went they were filming for Sheldon, and preparing for new upcoming TV series and movies. Overall a great family experience and it's highly recommended to go here with family. You have to get tickets in advance and enter around your ticket time. Once inside the tour leaves every 10 min so they can accommodate you if you are late.

I had some relatives visiting from out of town. They wanted to go on the studio tour, so I tagged along. I usually don't hear people raving about these studio tours, so I honestly wasn't expecting much. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would because I am a fan of Harry Potter, Batman, Pretty Little Liars, and Ellen. If you aren't much of a fan of these or other warner brothers productions, then you probably won't enjoy it as much. PARKING: Available in their own private lot. You pay $7. COST: Bought tickets online for $54/person. FOOD: Inside you have ice cream and Starbucks. Nice to have as you wait. MOVIE CLIP: You watch a short 15 clip that gives you background of the studio lot and what movies/productions have been created there. TOUR: The tour itself is designed nicely. You have a small tour group (we had about 9 people). The first thing your tour guide does is ask what the group is a fan of. They try to personalize the tour as best they can to the groups' interests, which i thought was pretty neat! You drive around in the golf cart and get off at variable sets. What set you can see depends on what is available around filming schedules. They have a small museum that displays batman (on the first floor) and harry potter on the (second floor), which was cool. Definitely try the sorting hat at the harry potter floor! We were able to visit the Ellen set, but no photos were allowed inside. Lots of pretty little liars set visits-I'm a fan, so I totally didn't mind haha. Tour probably lasted 1.5-2 hours. Overall really cool tour considering I was a fan of a lot of their productions. Wouldn't suggest it to you if you don't know many of their shows/movies though.

2 Broke Girls: Tuesday @ 5pm taping. The tickets are FREE. Check-in at the first floor of the parking lot. Arriving around 2:45pm, there are people waiting already. There are benches and restrooms avaliable. Around 3pm, they start checking in the audience. Bring the email confirmation and ID. Around 3:30pm, the staffs start escorting the audience to inside the studio. There will be security check at the gate. NO CELL PHONE ALLOWED!!! After the security check, we walk to Stage 21. About 5 minutes walk from the gate. Once entering the Stage 21, there is another security check. NO CELL PHONE ALLOWED!! It gets cold inside the studio, so bring a light jacket. The taping starts around 5pm..... ended around 10pm. They do provide half sandwich, a snack, and small bottle of water. It is okay you bring your own water or snacks. They let you eat inside the studio. It is fun to see how they run the show. A lot of wait time... however, they have great "entertainment". Roger, a comedian, is entertaining the audience the whole night. Bump up our energy to cheer and laugh!! He definitely makes it a fun night. He gives out t-shirts, cupcakes, candies and lots of funny jokes!! Parking: Warner Bro Gat 8 off Forest Lawn Dr., just east of Bartham Blvd. (free)

Very cool to walk through this place for the taping of Conan's show. Each studio room shows where certain movies were taped and the year, I thought that was very cool. After Conan's showing, we walked through this place again and saw a golf cart labeled "Fuller House" and in the golf cart was Jodi Sweetin, Bob Saget and John Stamos. Very cool, makes me excited to see that show when it comes out.

Kind of expensive, but definitely a one of a kind experience. So you do get what you pay for. The Warner Brothers Studios VIP Tour (I think they add the VIP to make you feel happier, but darn does it work!). Each ticket is $54 and the tour is around 2 hours. If only it were 3 hours.. just so you could sing that Gilligan's Island song "a 3 hour tour... 3 hour tour..." But yea it's only 2 hours so please no singing! They suggest you arrive 20 minutes before your tour, so of course we showed up with 5 minutes to spare. You then watch a short film and then split up into small groups (8-12 people) for the tour. Our tour guide was very personable and did a great job making us laugh throughout our visit. We hopped on, buckled up, and our journey began. We were driven through the backlot of the studios where countless shows and movies were filmed. You get to walk through a prop house, and a few of the sound studios as well. During our visit we got to walk onto and the set of the Conan O'Brien show and also the Ellen Degeneres show. And the Big Bang Theory set. It seems if you are a Pretty Little Liars fan this tour would be even better (although I don't watch the show) because they film the show all throughout this place. It is 75 years of Batman, so in the museum all of the costumes and props from all of the Batman movies are on display. I'm talking Arnold's Mr. Freeze suit to Bane from Dark Knight Rises. I should add that in the museum there are Harry Potter costumes and props on display as well. Then later on in the tour you are taken to see all of the Batmobiles + Motorcycles. Being the cheeseball that I am I took pics of all the Batman & Robin props including Mr. Freeze and the Ice.. Bat-Snowmobile. I mean Tumbler? Nah.. gimme the Snowmobile. However, my favorite part of the tour was seeing the Central Perk set on Friends. My favorite show, and here I got to sit on the couch where Ross, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, and Monica sat. You can take pics, look around, and fantasize about the coffee shop where the great Gunther once roamed. Also throughout the tour you see a few prop houses and places where various Friends scenes were filmed. All in all, a good trip. Definitely worth it if you haven't been. So sign up with a friend or family member from out of town and come visit. Or just come on your own, I mean Central Perk!!!!

Arrived 4:00pm on standby tickets for The Big Bang stage 25 luckily last 4 people to get in, left at 10pm and it was awesome! I can't recall ever seeing a live taping but I know I won't forget seeing the Big Bang Taping a lucky 3 times this season. The only thing I can advice you is to arrive early ( big fans are there since 10am) Take snacks and drinks - they have restrooms.. but once your in line you can't leave. Take a jacket or sweater since the waiting area is in the parking garage prepare for a long walk to the stage.. all well worth is once you get to see one of your favorite shows filmed live... Can't wait for next season since all the tickets for this season are sold out already... till then Bazinga!!!!

I have been to Warner Bros. Studios a couple times--once as part of their excellent Studio Tour and once as part of the studio audience for Conan. The staff...from the tour guides to the gift shop employees...were all very nice, nothing but smiles! They really want to make your experience a memorable one! As far as the attractions...well they will differ depending upon what you're there for but, let's face it, show business is fun no matter how you look at it!

Why book a tour here when you could work here as an actor? Warner Brothers (I affectionately call this studio, "The Bunny Rabbit's Studio") is such an awesome workplace: Working here on set for the following film productions has been a great honor and privilege I will never forget! Everybody Loves Raymond ER-with Mr. George Clooney West Wing-Martin Sheen . . . Bad Boy, Charlie Sheen's very awesome, wonderful, kindhearted Daddy (Gee~what happened to his son, eh?) Every year at Warner Brother's, parties, movie screenings, and all kinds of events happen here all the time, so please check WB's URL for calendar events. Please note O=:-/: When working here . . . Make sure you bring TWO forms of identification and also, bring your car insurance documents when parking at Warner Brother's Studio lot; otherwise, you will be unable going to your studio set and worst of all, missing your call time on set! In addition, you can't freely walk onto WB's studio lot without pre-announcement by production company's, directors' or producers' permission. The security guard at the parking lot will give you an ID pass allowing you to enter the security gate. The security guards will search your personal property before allowing you passing through the WB gate (you'll be walking on foot entering WB Studio-it's a long walk to each studio set, so bring a luggage carrier for your personal property). So-what with the yellow sign? It's pointing to the base camp for a certain production. Should you see this type of sign anywhere in USA, there is a film production base camp nearby . . . O=;-D Oh-the WB shop is a cool place to shop and the WB cafeteria is very cool,indeed! But, I don't think tourists are allowed eating in the cafeteria, not unless, you are pre-announced by somebody you PERSONALLY KNOW at WB!

I went here for a taping of Mom this past week. To be honest, we tried to get into Fuller House first, but the line was insane. Some of our group got there around 1pm (for a 5pm show) and got in, but were among the last let in. So FYI, if you're thinking about doing that. I had seen a few eps of Mom but I love Anna Faris and Allison Janney, so it wasn't a bad 'consolation' prize :) very interesting to see how a TV show is actually filmed! It took about 3 hours for them to film a half-hour ep, and they had filmed a few scenes the day before too. IMO Fuller House wasn't organized that well - the line moved very slowly - but Mom was very efficient. I was able to check in then wait for my group party to show up. I got there around 4:20pm after taking a Lyft from gate 8 (FH's gate) to gate 3 (Mom's gate). When they go to let you in, you cross the street into the actual studio area and then are led to the studio where it films. 2 Broke Girls and Big Bang Theory film over there as well (I had tix for 2BG that Wed. night, actually, but was also flying in that day, and unfortunately it did not work out ... maybe someday). The studio experience was definitely something I'm glad I experienced, although next time I will get in line earlier.

This is definitely a different but more in-depth studio tour than Universal Studio. You feel that you actually in a studio when you walk here not a theme park. Universal Studio had mix of theme park and studio feeling but this one you know you are in studio. Years ago, I don't think price of this studio is worth it but with huge price increase of Universal. This studio tour feel more like a better value now and many DC movie coming out also surge the popularity. You also get some all-school classic tv set here and actually inside the sound stage when they film like some of the current tv show. Camera is allow most area except in set like this one when the still filming. The tour guide is generally excellent and vert knowledgeable, the main downsize is there's nothing to do outside the studio. No walking distance and you had drive a bit to get anywhere, unlike Universal Studio which has tons of stuff to do.

A nice little place to go spend money if you have money lol. You can also tour around and see the studios where they make shows or even go in and be a part of the audience. Just expect to walk a bit and wear good shoes that are broken in lol unlike me. You might get to see some familiar faces but don't be weird. Just say " oh its the people from fuller house" and go on your way. Don't bother them lol.

My brother in law knew someone in the Human Resources department, so we got a private tour. I never knew they even had regular tours at this place. Lots of people were here having a guided tour of the museums, shops, buildings and streets, etc. You get to see some streets and buildings where they film movies and shows, gift shops, museums of different costumes, pictures, memorabilia, etc. There's some things you can do, like be out into a Harry Potter scene, listen to how they make a sound recording from a movie, see how they create depth and size from camera angles and props, sit on the "Friend's" couch and drink coffee, etc. If you're looking for a roller coaster ride amusement park... this is not the place to go to. It was a nice change of pace, and to see all the old movies and tv show pieces was worth the time.

We had a wonderful time at the studios. Everyone was so kind to us. What a fun day we had!

It is a great area that is well planned out. There is lots of good parking. Security was kind and helpful. People helped with crossing the street. Altogether, it was a great experience.

I could go on and on about how much I love this place, but I'll keep it short and say that if I could live here, I would. I love visiting the sets and seeing behind the scenes. So much fun and totally an LA experience. Having a hookup with VIP tickets (to tapings) is a lot better but if not, it's still definitely a place to check out at least once.
