Hitch a Ride on the Universal Studios Backlot Tour – Ultimate L.A. Guide

Only in Los Angeles can you see the Bates Motel from 'Psycho,' go back to the future, witness the 'War of the Worlds' plane crash, and encounter the monsters of 'Jurassic Park' or Jaws in the space of an hour, thanks to the Universal Studios Backlot Tour.

If you are a movie buff, this attraction is a must. It gives you a guided look at the inner workings of a movie studio and you get a first-hand look at sets and props. There really is nothing cooler, and it would be a crime to vist Los Angeles without doing something tourist-y involving the movie culture.
