On arrival you are signed in and given a 'backstage pass', which is also an individual electronic key linked to your email address. Throughout the experience I swiped the pass to enter competitions and any photographs taken of me were available online or sent directly to me via email.
The first room of the studios is home to a huge electronic wall and ceiling that plays various clips from TWC TV shows. There is also a wall dedicated to a live Twitter feed. Whilst waiting for our tour we treated ourselves to a delicious treat from the 'Cake Boss' stand, which served an array of cakes and hot drinks. Everything was complimentary and some people were really taking advantage of the freebies!
Our tour started in giant elevator that took us up to 'The Tonight Show' Studio where you could chat with producers of the show and have your photograph taken with your favourite presenter using a green screen. The photos came out great and you could almost believe I was chatting with Jimmy Fallon! Next we went to the ESPN Studio where you could meet a presenter of the show (I had no idea who she was though!) and try out as a sports commentator. I then got my nails done in the TV Guide Network room before we went up to the next floor.
I watch the History Channel show 'Vikings', and enjoyed the re-creation of a battle scene using members of our tour group. They were dressed up in period costumes and given swords and shields, it was hilarious. Whilst they were doing this I had some interactive photos taken that looked like I was fighting with the stars of the show.

Finally, we ended up at the 'Game of Thrones' exhibition which was my favourite part of the tour. I am a huge fan of the show and couldn't wait to have my photo taken sitting on the iron throne. They had various props and costumes from the set and even some dragon eggs!

We left the TWC Studios with gift bags containing some fun items, including ESPN headphones and a Game of Thrones iPhone case amongst other goodies.
I had a great time at the TWC Studios and hope it returns again next year! For more information please visit http://twcstudios.com.
