Burbank, CA. / (818) 846-1403 or (818) 954-1744
Parking: $5. Do not enter the studio gates - follow the directional signs to Parking Lot N (Gate 6). The lot is right around the corner from the main gate, on S. Avon Street.
Admission Price: Tour of studio costs $45 per person, regardless of age (minimum age is 10). All adults must present current government issued photo identification upon registration and persons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. (A special five-hour select tour is $199.)
Hours: The 2-1/4 hour guided tours are given on weekdays only, every half hour, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM (in the summer the last tour leaves at 4 PM). No tours on the weekend. Advance reservations are required. (Their schedule is subject to change - phone first to be sure of hours.)
Getting there: The studio is located at the intersection Olive Avenue, Pass Avenue, and Barham Boulevard, in Burbank, just a few blocks southeast of NBC Studios and Disney Studios, and northeast of Universal Studios. After parking at Gate 6, go to the new VIP Tour Center (at 3400 Riverside Drive), just outside the studio entrance at Gate 5.
If you plan to visit some of the state parks like Yosemite or Redwood, then I'd say plan to spend another 2-3 days at each park.
