This is my second time doing this. I like this studio tour because of more interaction compared to…read moreother studio tours. Check in was quick. You then go to the room with some exhibits. You can take your time looking around even though you have a timed tour as there is a studio tour every 10 minutes. When you're ready for the tour, you go to an auditorium to see a short video about the studio and the history. This is updated with recent films (I saw a relatively different video when I went here 2 years ago). You then ride a long cart with other people in your group and your tour guide drives the cart around the lot. There are stops in different areas in the Warner Bros lot and you go down and walk with the guide. Photo opportunities are there as well. Different film/TV clips are also shown on the cart as you go through these iconic spots seeing how they were used in these films/TV shows which is cool. After this, you go to another studio where a Central Perk Cafe, a museum, and souvenir shop are located. You can take your time here as well. You then proceed to the next part of the tour. If you bought Superman experience, you go there. If not, you then go to spot where there's a Friends' couch and have pictures taken there. Next is the more interactive part where there's Harry Potter sets, some figures of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. Costumes and cars can be seen here as well. You'll end again where you entered and there's another huge souvenir shop with different toys, shirts, mugs, magnets, key chains, and so much more. Items are cute but can be pricey. Allot 3 hours for the entire experience without the Superman experience (since we did not do that).

I was expecting something different but maybe it's my fault. I know a good amount of Warner…read morebrothers films and shows so I thought I would be prepared. The tour was mostly of sets that included sitcoms like "Friends" and you simply walk around them and visit them. Most of the buildings are empty on the inside to show you but the novelty wears off quickly. You will do this for about an hour and then are dropped off in a museum section which has lots more. They did have other unique things to see like the force perspective and sound effects but that's just it. You exit into a gift shop that is near entirely made of "Friends" souvenirs. You return to the main building for a small DC and Harry Potter section and then straight to the gift shop. I was fairly underwhelmed by it. I expected a bit more in explanation and showing things instead of here's so and so from this show. The museum portion was more of a photo op than anything. I don't think I would return.

Our tour guide Dave was awesome - engaging, informative and also inquisitive as we were all an active part of the tour. What more to add? Yes, book the last tour of the day as the tour guide may not feel as stressed to get back to the Hollywood Blvd location on time and you may see some of the local celebrities, either driving their vehicles or briefly walking outside. Great company and ditto experience.

My absolute favorite attraction at USH! As a pass holder, I will admit there have been days where I…read morego to Universal just to sit on the tram and eat a pretzel. Typically running about 45 minutes to an hour, the studio tour is a perfect break from escalators, lines, and walking around Universal. The guides are funny and engaging and though they usually touch on the same things, I find that each guide has a way of making the tour their own. I always enjoy going through the lot and getting a glimpse of what's being filmed, while also learning about the iconic movies, shows, and even music videos that have utilized the lot before. As a huge fan of Desperate Housewives, my favorite set is Colonial Street. While I'd love to see some updates or new things on the studio tour, having been on it more times than I can count I can still say it's my favorite ride and the thing I look forward to the most at USH.

You still the psycho scare, a look at the faux NYC filming backdrops, and or course Jaws. Which warms my cold nostalgic heart. I really enjoyed the 4-D King Kong adventure in the beginning, but I really missed the giant animatronic King Kong that I remember seeing as a kid. Make sure to sit in the second or third tram car. We were placed in the first tram car and basically missed everything from the flood to Bruce the shark jumping out of the water. My wife and I enjoyed the ride, but our kids (5 & 7) were over it after about 20-minutes. Shout out to our tour guide for all of the knowledge and fun behind scenes anecdotes.

You'll drive past many historic structures, and past the homes of many stars (though you'll be going too fast to get a good look or photo). And you'll go up in the hills along Mulholland Drive. About halfway through the tour, at the Beverly Hills sign, you get out for a break and use the restroom. Unfortunately, you never get a good view of the Hollywood sign. Our driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and gave anecdotes about every site we passed.

Greystone Mansion & Gardens is truly an amazing place…read more On the morning of Saturday, June 6th, my family had brunch together at Takagi and enjoyed their delicious soufflé pancakes. Afterward, we all headed over to Greystone Mansion & Gardens. I had visited this place once with friends about four years ago, and I remembered how beautiful it was. Since I thought my parents would enjoy taking a walk here, I suggested that the whole family come together. The scenery is stunning, with beautiful gardens, plenty of trees, and peaceful walking paths. It's also a fantastic place for taking photos. Years ago, I took some pictures with friends along a pathway lined with tall trees on both sides. The setting was absolutely gorgeous, and the photos turned out amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find that exact spot this time, which was a little disappointing. After enjoying a nice walk, my mom said she was getting hungry, so we started thinking about where to have lunch. Then suddenly, my dad disappeared. At first, we thought he might have gone to the restroom, but he wasn't there. We searched all over the property, checking everywhere we could think of, but we couldn't find him. It was honestly very stressful. Thankfully, my brothers informed one of the park rangers, and the park rangers immediately began helping us search for him. As it turned out, my dad had walked to the parking lot by himself. Earlier, we had told him that we would bring the car closer to him so he wouldn't have to walk too far, but he apparently didn't hear that part and started walking toward the parking lot on his own. When he couldn't find us, he simply sat down on the grass and waited. When the park rangers located him, one of them asked me if I wanted to come along. I immediately replied, "Yes, yes, of course!" and hurried over with them. When I finally saw my dad, I was incredibly relieved and happy. I must have thanked the park rangers more than ten times that day for their kindness and help. Even now, it makes me nervous when I think about how worried our entire family was that day. This property is quite large, so it's easy for people to get separated. For most people, it wouldn't be a big problem because they could simply call each other on the phone. However, my dad suffered a stroke in mid-December and had to be taken to the ER by 911. Thankfully, he has improved significantly since January, but he still cannot reliably make or answer phone calls on his own. Because of that, we were especially worried and anxious while searching for him. Thankfully, everything turned out well in the end, and we were able to find him safely. I am truly grateful to the park rangers who helped us that day. Not only is this place absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous scenery and wonderful views, but it's hard to believe that parking is completely free. To be honest, this is one of those special places that makes you want to keep it a secret and enjoy it all by myself. But great places deserve to be shared, so I decided to write this review and let others know about it.
