How many hours do you need at Warner Bros?

Answer: You can expect the total Studio Tour experience, including the guided portion and self-guided areas to last about 3 hours. You will spend about 1 hour with your guide and the remainder will be self-paced.



The time required depends on which studio you are visiting. For the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (The Making of Harry Potter), you should budget at least 3.5 to 5 hours. The tour is mostly self-guided, and with the immense detail in sets like Gringotts and the Forbidden Forest, time flies by quickly. For the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood in California, the experience is more structured and typically lasts about 3 hours. This includes a 1-hour guided tram tour through backlots like Gilmore Girls or Friends, followed by self-guided time at the "Stage 48: Script to Screen" interactive exhibit. If you are a hardcore fan who wants to recreate every photo op (like sitting on the Central Perk couch), adding an extra hour to these estimates is highly recommended for 2026 visitors.

The recommended time to complete the entire tour is 3-4 hours. However, if you are a hardcore fan, you might want to stick around for at least 5 - 6 hours for a more in-depth look at the Harry Potter universe.

Plus, it's even possible to do both of the basic studio tours in a single day. That said, if your goal is to relax and not have to rush around L.A., then plan on visiting Warner Bros. on one day and Universal Studios Hollywood the next day. That way, you'll get more enjoyment out of both.

Plus, that one day would be extremely rushed, and it's better to have that extra day to take more things in. I found that two days was the perfect amount of time to see everything in the Wizarding World, explore other Universal lands, and go on plenty of rides.
