We did the Dolby tour on our recent visit. It is only a short tour, but worth a visit for sure. Unfortunately no photographs are permitted on this tour. It would of been nice to take some photos of where the celebs have their awards night. It combines the new with old. The foyer of the Theatre seems modern, but... More

We took a guided tour and it was truly wonderful. We went back stage and saw where all the celebrities go after winning an Oscar.

Great place to see living history. At a wonderful location in the middle of the Hollywood Boulevard action, you won't have to walk far to see it. I recommend the Dolby Theatre.

Why does everything appear more impressive on TV? We stayed in the car and took in the sight. Lots of people on a Sunday.

If you are an Academy Awards fan, this is a must do. The tour is not expensive (especially with the online coupon). You get to tour the whole theater-dressing rooms, go onstage, tunnel walk after you win the award. The only downside is that you do not get to take photographs. They said it is for security reasons so no... More

The Kodak Theatre, recently renamed the Dolby Theatre, is a beauty, reminscent of the art deco theatres of the past. We were impressed with design, layout, sound system and comfortable seats when we attended Cirque du Soleil's Iris.
