Best time to visit the Studios

Opening Hours:

Warner Bros. Studio Tour: 8.30 am to 3.30 pm
Warner Bros. Studio Store: 8.30 am to 7 pm 

The best time to visit Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is as soon as the studio opens at 8.30 am because there are no crowds. Afternoons tend to be busier.

Weekends offer fewer crowds and more empty sound stages since filming happens during the week. 

On Sundays, you might even be allowed to visit The Big Bang Theory set. Weekdays, especially Tuesdays through Thursdays, are livelier with a working studio vibe, but it’s best to arrive early to avoid afternoon crowds.
