If you take a trip to Los Angeles, you’ll have the chance to see behind the scenes of some of your favourites with a ticket to the Warner Bros. Studios Tour Hollywood - here are seven of the sets you can visit!

1. Friends 

“Friends” holds a special place in our hearts. If you have also formed a bond with the six eccentric New Yorkers navigating adult life across 10 seasons, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a must-visit for you!

The iconic “Friends” fountain seen in the show’s credits, where the characters frolic together at night, still stands tall in the centre of Warner Bros. Studio 20 years after the show wrapped! Here you can stand exactly where the characters stood (unfortunately you are not actually allowed to jump in the fountain) and snap a photo on the sofa in front to recreate this memorable scene.

Next, step into the iconic Central Perk set, central to every “Friends” episode, where the characters would frequently gather to drink coffee and joke around, catching up on their antics! You can even take a seat on the actual sofa used for filming.

Once you’ve soaked up the atmosphere of the New York City coffee shop, with a couple photos snapped along the way, you can then head into the “Friends” merchandise shop! Inside, you’ll find an exact replica of Monica’s kitchen where you can grab a quick photo and browse through all the “Friends” merchandise available for purchase.

2. Gilmore Girls 

As a mother-daughter duo on our trip to Los Angeles, the Warner Bros. Studio provided the perfect photo opportunity as we stepped into Stars Hollow, the charming but quaint town from “Gilmore Girls”. This beloved TV series, following the journey of single mother Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter Rory, first aired in 2000 and continues to captivate audiences.

If you are a fan of this iconic show, a visit to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a must. Wander through the town, stop outside Stars Hollow House of Worship, where Lorelai would participate in the town meetings hosted by Taylor, drop by Luke’s diner, and step inside the Gilmore house. All while the tour guide shares intriguing insider facts. 

Although the set has evolved since the original series, having been repurposed for other shows such as “Pretty Little Liars”, the spark of Stars Hollow remains undeniable.

 

3. The Big Bang Theory 

Another immensely entertaining and successful TV show crafted in this studio is “The Big Bang Theory''. Centred around a group of four nerdy scientific geniuses who befriend their female neighbour, Penny, this comedy primarily follows the socially awkward physicists as they navigate the complexities of romantic relationships.

On the studio tour, you can stand outside Penny’s apartment door and recreate the classic Sheldon knock as you pose for photos in the hallway (knocking 3 times consecutively).

Next you can head inside Sheldon and Leonard’s Californian apartment. Here you can sit on Sheldon’s spot, grab some comic books off of their coffee table and strike some interesting poses for the photos the Warner Bros. staff capture for you.

Revolving around Sheldon Cooper’s childhood, the show has found similar success with season 7 being released in May 2024. On the studio tour, you can spot multiple familiar locations from the show, including the college in Texas he attended.

5. Batman and Robin

The 1997 film, “Batman and Robin” was predominantly filmed at the studio situated in Burbank, California. Bringing DC Comics to life, it garnered immense popularity worldwide. While spotting the filming locations of this movie is a highlight of the tour for many superhero fans, there’s much more to explore. Dive into the universe teeming with your beloved heroes and villains, capturing an incredible photo holding Wonder Woman’s Lasso, look at the real life Batmobile, and marvel at the costumes worn by your favourite actors and actresses, including Robert Pattinson’s suit and Zoe Kravitz’s suit for Catwoman.

6. Abbott Elementary

“Abbott Elementary” is a comedy series that takes place in a public elementary school in Philadelphia. It follows the dedicated and quirky teachers as they navigate the challenges of educating and inspiring their students.
