Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood reopens June 26 with new experiences for visitors and families. The new Welcome Center, a gateway to Hollywood, offers all-new ways to go behind the lens of movie-making magic.

 

With the Storytelling Showcase, guests discover the world of Warner Bros., examining the extent of its film, TV and animation titles. Gain a deeper understanding of technological innovations from its origins in 1923 through to becoming one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. Take a selfie with a replica water tower.

 

At Stage 48: Script to Screen, the Studio Tour’s interactive sound stage, visitors can delve into the methods of production, and take a peek at the Central Perk set from Friends and Sheldon’s apartment set from The Big Bang Theory. Dine at Central Perk Café before heading to the Action and Magic Made Here grand finale, with more on DC Super Heroes and Super-Villians and behind-the-scenes of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts with interactive experiences, props, costumes and photo opps.

 

That’s just a taste of what awaits, so grab your family and plan your trip to go behind the movies. At the end of the tour, peruse an exhibit boasting iconic treasures from Warner Bros.’ most beloved films, like the jersey worn by the late Chadwick Boseman to portray Jackie Robinson in 42.

 

The Welcome Center also houses a Warner Bros. Studio Store with exclusive merchandise and a Personalization Area. The Studio Tour will be open weekends, June 26–July 11. From July 15, the tour will operate five days a week, closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Reserve tickets online.
