Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Oscar History and Film Set Studio Tour?

A: There aren’t any strict age restrictions for the tour. It’s suitable for all ages, but kids might not be super into the historical aspects unless they’re fans of the movies filmed there. Just a heads up, be sure to keep an eye on younger kids—some of the film clips might have language or themes that aren't kid-friendly.

Q: What should I wear for the Biltmore tour? Is it casual or more formal?

A: You can totally go casual! The Biltmore is a historic site, but since it'll be a guided tour, comfort is key. Think comfy shoes because you’ll be walking a bit. The climate control makes it nice, so no need to dress too warm, but check the weather for the day you go, just in case!

Q: How long is the tour and what if I need to reschedule?

A: The tour lasts about an hour, but you might want to factor in some extra time to explore the hotel afterward. If you need to reschedule, it’s pretty flexible. Just make sure to reach out to the provider as soon as you can, and they should be able to accommodate you without a problem.

Just went on the Oscar History Tour at the Biltmore—so cool!

I did the tour last weekend, and wow, it was amazing! Just walking through the places where Ghostbusters and Fight Club were filmed felt surreal. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared some behind-the-scenes stories that made it even better. The clips they showed us while we were in the rooms really brought it to life. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves movies or just wants a unique LA experience!

Considering gifting the Biltmore tour—any thoughts?

I’m thinking of getting this tour for my brother’s birthday. He’s a huge fan of old Hollywood and I know he’d love the history of the Biltmore. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on what to do afterward. Is there a good place to grab food nearby?
