My cousin Roxanne had her Los Angeles itinerary all planned out, but we couldn't resist adding a surprise stop she'd never forget: the Warner Brothers Studio Tour! It was the perfect detour, as Anna is a massive Friends fan and been wanting to go, while Roxanne could almost quote every episode of The Big Bang Theory.
Our adventure began on a guided tram, cruising through the iconic 110-acre backlot where our knowledgeable guide pointed out familiar facades of banks, city halls, and coffee shops that served as the backdrop for countless movies and TV shows. From the early days of classic cinema to becoming a television juggernaut, the history felt alive as we navigated the very streets where Hollywood legends have worked.
The tour, which took about three hours, culminated in the most exciting part; stepping onto the actual sets of our favorite shows! Anna's excitement was palpable as we sat on the iconic orange couch, unfortunately it was a mock up set out in one of the parks in the lot and is made out of fiber glass, and Roxanne was thrilled to see Sheldon and Leonard's apartment from The Big Bang Theory, which was also a recreation of the set specifically made for studio guest. Seeing intricate details, props, and costumes up close truly gives you a newfound appreciation for the incredible work that goes into creating these on-screen worlds.

For anyone planning a visit, it's essential to book your scheduled tour in advance, as they fill up quickly; general admission for the Studio Tour is currently around $70 per adult, with on-site parking available for an additional $15 fee.
