How extensive are the DC and Harry Potter exhibits? That's the big draw for my kids. We keep planning to do this and my kids are off school all of December so thinking this is a good time.
The DC and Harry Potter are in separate buildings.
This is how the tour is laid out
1. At the main entrance building you watch a 5 minute into show and then get loaded into a van with a tour guide.
2. The tour guide drives the van to the backlot area where you spend about 40 minutes to an hour. There are about 3 stops where the tour guide parks the van and everyone gets off for a walkaround in different areas and buildings
3. Once done on the backlot everyone gets back on the van and the tour guide drives to different buildings on the property.
4. One building is where the DC and Harry Potter exhibitions are. The DC costumes and props are on the ground floor and the Harry Potter exhibition is up the stairs. You get about 30 minutes to walk around this building.
5. Once everyone is done, everyone gets back on the van and the tour guide drives to another building. This is where the Batman cars exhibition is.
Once everyone is done seeing the Bat cars, about 20 minutes, I think, everyone gets back on the van to the last building, which is where the Friends set, Central Perk coffee shop, Pretty Little Liars, Harry Potter Interactive areas and the merchandise shop are.
The Harry Potter Interactive areas are broom flying photo ops and House Photo photo ops.
You cant just go to the Harry Potter exhibits or just to the Batman cars or just to the backlot, you have to do everything. There is also a ton of Harry Potter Merchandise in the shop, but again the shop is only accessible from the tour, its not in the main entrance building.
