What are three great ways for groups to experience the celebrity appeal/motion picture heritage of the San Fernando Valley?
- Universal Studios Hollywood: Groups visiting L.A. will find Universal Studios Hollywood to be the ideal way to experience L.A. cinema magic and some amazing thrill rides. With Universal CityWalk next door, they can enjoy terrific restaurants, shopping and nightlife options all night long. Having great accommodations available close by is a decided advantage.
- Warner Bros. Studios: The VIP Studio Tour at Warner Bros. puts you literally behind the scenes. From walking on the set of a hit television show and being escorted through the backlot streets and soundstages, to seeing prized memorabilia at the Warner Bros. Museum, this studio tour is truly one-of-a-kind and one of my faves.
- Celeb Sightings: A-listers are always looking for the new, hip and trendy outfit. No matter what studio they’re filming at in the valley (Universal, Warner Bros., Walt Disney, Dreamworks SKG, ABC, CBS, or NBC), celebs don’t have to venture too far from work to find that designer dress. Ventura Boulevard in Studio City is ground zero for boutique shopping, and celebrity sightings are very common.
