Studio Tour has accomplished a great achievement
Can you believe it's been over 60 years since Universal Studios first opened its doors to guests with the Studio Tour? Yep, back in the early '60s, Universal Studios began what is now the popular Studio Tour experience.
Initially priced at just $2.50, the Studio Tour primarily catered to tourists. Visitors had the opportunity to explore film sets, observe makeup demonstrations, and enjoy costume shows. The experience allowed guests to immerse themselves in the world of their favorite movies, long before the days of YouTube and social media, when researching "Behind the Scenes of My Favorite Movie" wasn't an option. You had to come here and live the experience!
These simple, yet effective first steps marked the start of what we know today as the incredible Universal Studio Hollywood... a theme park where entertainment and the seventh art meet in a single spot!
