BURBANK |
| |
| The name of Hollywood may be synonymous with the movies, but the
studios themselves moved out of Tinseltown long ago; the nitty-gritty
business of actually making films goes on over the hills in otherwise
hot and boring Burbank. Studio tours include a solid look inside NBC ,
3000 W Alameda St, Burbank (Mon-Fri 9am-3pm; $7; tel 818/840-3537), the
rather uninspired walk-through for Paramount Studios , 5555 Melrose Ave,
Hollywood (Mon-Fri 9am-2pm; $15; tel 323/956-4552, ), and the
technically oriented trek into Warner Bros Studios , 4000 Warner Blvd,
Burbank (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm; $33; tel 818/972-TOUR, ). The largest of the
old backlots belongs to Universal Studios , whose four-hour tours (summer
daily 8am-10pm; rest of year daily 9am-7pm; $43; tel 818/508-9600, ) are
more like a trip around an amusement park, with high-tech rides and "evening
spectaculars" often based on current movies. The shows are without
exception cheesy, but for fans of explosions and pratfalls, they're an
absolute must.
