From hiking to city tours you have a lot of choices to plan a great trip to Burbank. Here is a list of the most popular things to do while visiting Burbank.
Warner Brother’s Studio Tours
As it is one of the most popular movie studios, the Warner Brother’s studio is a must see while visiting Burbank. You get to visit the set of your favorite TV shows and movies and learn a lot about “behind the Scene”, the production process and may be you even get to see your favorite actor or actress on their way to work. The guides are always friendly and you are assured and fun and good time. If you want to discover the Warner Bros Studios even more and see what the tour doesn’t show, you can sign up for the VIP tour and get to see a lot more. Don’t forget to check out the Warner Bros Museum as well, where you can find all the costumes and preps used for shows and movies in the past 75 years.
Burbank is also home of the Disney Studios and NBC Studios. Here you get to visit the different sets of your favorite TV shows and movies produced by Walt Disney while learning how things are done during the guided tour. The NBC Studios offer a discount for AAA members. Also you should know that the entrance fee for the tour is cash only.
Shopping in Burbank
In Downtown Burbank you can find everything you need. Parking is also pretty easy to find so you can really enjoy a great shopping adventure in Burbank. Just park and walk the streets to find what you need. Remember, since you’re at the door of LA, you can find the popular trends of the season better than anywhere else! If you like to shop in a mall rather than in small street boutiques, Burbank also has a great mall: Burbank Town Center. You have 3 different levels of stores to visit, so you can be sure to find something you need or just something you want!
Burbank Historical Society Gordon R Howard Museum
The Burbank Historical Society Gordon R Howard Museum is a very interesting stop to make to learn all about the history of the city. You will discover how this city used to be an agricultural center with a very different and beautiful architecture than now.
Though it is not directly in Burbank, but close by in Long Beach, we also recommend the Aquarium of the Pacific. There, you can observe and learn about the Pacific inhabitants through exhibits and reconstituted under water and other habitats. Kids love hands on exhibits, and they also can touch the rays in the pool. For a small extra fee you can also watch interesting 3-d movies about the ocean. Don’t forget to present you AAA membership card for a discount on the entrance fee.
