Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood at a glance
The Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a guided visit to a working studio lot at 3400 Warner Boulevard in Burbank. It is not on Hollywood Boulevard and it is not at Universal Studios. If you want a theme park with rides, read our Universal Studios Hollywood tickets guide instead.
The regular Studio Tour costs $79 for visitors aged 11 and over and $68 for children aged 5 to 10 (2026). The minimum age is 5. Younger children are not admitted, not even as free companions. Taxes and any online fees may be added at checkout, so the final price can be higher.
The guided part lasts 45 to 60 minutes. After it you have about 2 hours of your own time for exhibits, shopping and food, which makes roughly 3 hours in total. Tour start times run between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. That is the start window for the guided tour, not the closing time of every visitor area.

For most visitors who love film production more than rides, the Warner Bros. tour is the better fit. If you travel with young children under 5, the Warner Bros. tour is not an option, and Universal is the one to choose.
How the 3 hours are split
The visit has two parts, and the second is yours.
Check-in, 30 minutes before
Arrive half an hour ahead of your tour time. Security and a photo ID check come first, and parking is on site for $20 per vehicle.
The guided tour, 45 to 60 minutes
A guide takes you over the lot. The route can change from day to day because productions are running, so two visits are rarely identical.
Time on your own, about 2 hours
After the guided part you can look at the exhibits, shop and eat at your own pace. Plan the visit as a half day, and do not book a tight connection afterwards.
Reservations, tour route and what to expect
Buy ahead. Walk-up tickets exist only in limited numbers and are not guaranteed. Young visitors aged 5 to 17 need an adult with them.
The route can change from day to day because productions are running on the lot. No celebrity encounters are promised.
The studio is closed on some days, so check your date against the calendar before you book. Hours and slots vary and depend on the day.
Parking, check-in and arrival
Plan this part, because it adds time to the visit.
Parking
Parking costs $20 per vehicle. Motorhomes, trailers and trucks are not allowed in the garage.
Check-in
Arrive 30 minutes before your tour time. Expect a security check and bring photo ID.
Getting there without a car
Burbank lies outside the Hollywood Boulevard area, so build in travel time. Our getting there guide explains Metro and airport options for Los Angeles. If you are looking for a base, see where to stay.
