The experience
A working movie studio in Burbank, toured by golf cart, then explored on foot.
The first hour is a guided golf-cart tour of the real Warner Bros. backlot — sound stages, the streets used as film and TV sets, and the real Central Perk cafe set from Friends, with green-screen technology explained along the way.
Two self-guided hours follow at Stage 48: Script to Screen, an exhibit on how a script becomes a film, plus recreated sets from the DC Universe and Harry Potter franchises and the Friends Boutique. Adults need valid government-issued photo ID to enter, and video recording is not permitted.
