Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood reopens with new ways to get closer to the entertainment you love
We are excited to welcome back guests on June 26, revealing new experiences that get you closer to the entertainment you love. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted at the new Welcome Center, their gateway to Hollywood, with all-new ways to go behind the lens of movie-making magic. Already a Trip Advisor Traveler’s Choice award recipient, the studio tour in Los Angeles is now more fun with the Storytelling Showcase, and a new interactive grand finale, Action and Magic Made Here. The incredible new Studio Store provides access to exclusive merchandise from your favorite film and TV titles.
Storytelling Showcase
Start at Storytelling Showcase and discover the world of Warner Bros., examining the breadth of the studio’s film, TV and animation titles, as well as the technological innovations from its cinema chain origins in 1923 through its nearly 100-year journey to become one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. You can even take a selfie with a replica of the iconic water tower as you walk along an aerial view of the sprawling studio lot.
Stage 48: Script to Screen
After touring the lot with one of our expert tour guides, you will arrive at Stage 48: Script to Screen, the Studio Tour’s interactive sound stage where you can immerse yourself in the technology and methods of production, revel in the Central Perk set from Friends and Sheldon’s apartment set from The Big Bang Theory before dining at our very own Central Perk Café. From Stage 48, head to our Action and Magic Made Here grand finale, where you’ll experience the universe of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains and step behind the scenes of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts with all-new interactive experiences, props, costumes and memorable photo opportunities.
DC Super Heroes and Villains
DC fans will enter Batman’s secret lair and explore the all-new Batcave, where you can get up close to the authentic Batmobile from Tim Burton’s original Batman, the Tumbler from The Dark Knight, and the Batwing from Batman v. Superman. Memorable photo ops include the Lasso of Hestia from the hit sequel Wonder Woman 1984, Jared Leto’s Joker and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn costumes from Suicide Squad, Poison Ivy in front of the actual Arkham Asylum gates featured in Joel Schumacher’s Batman and Robin and so much more from Aquaman, Superman and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts
The journey continues as you explore recreated sets from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts where you can dabble in the art of potion-making, snap an unforgettable photo inside Harry’s cupboard under the stairs at 4 Privet Drive or be surrounded by Hogwarts acceptance letters at the Dursleys’ fireplace, test your wand choreography skills, and learn more about the magical creatures from Fantastic Beasts in Newt Scamander’s Shed of Magical Creatures. Our new Sorting Ceremony will dazzle guests in the Great Hall recreated set; be sure to download the Harry Potter Fan Club mobile app for an even more enchanting experience where you can discover your official Hogwarts house before arriving. Just like magic, visitors will hear the Sorting Hat call out your true Hogwarts house when it’s placed above your head.
Celebration of Awards Season
Concluding the tour is an elegant display of iconic treasures from Warner Bros. most beloved films and TV shows in the Celebration of Awards Season. The exhibit spotlights iconic crown jewel props and costumes from our classic films, such as the trombone that Robert Preston played in The Music Man, the jersey worn by the late Chadwick Boseman to portray Jackie Robinson in 42, and a painstakingly detailed miniature blimp from Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.
Studio Store
The Welcome Center will house a brand-new Warner Bros Studio Store that will be accessible to the general public. The studio store offers the only in-person shopping experience with exclusive merchandise from legendary Warner Bros. films and TV shows. In the Personalization Area, bring your fandom to life and choose from a host of personalization options, including engraving a wand, a replica award, and more.
