a brief history lesson
Universal Studios Tours began in 1964 as a humble effort by Universal Studios to get visitors to the set to pay for lunch at the concession stand. Guests pay $2.5 to hop aboard the "Glam Trolley" and tour movie sets, see stunts, makeup demonstrations and costume shows. In doing so, Universal has effectively demystified the film's production process, as film locations had previously been largely closed to the public. Among other things, the Universal Studios experience spawned a series of innovations that changed the entertainment industry forever.
Sixty years later, Universal Studios Hollywood has transformed Studio Tours into a world-renowned dynamic experience visited by more than 2 million people around the world.
