Wheel of Fortune TV Game Show with Ryan Seacrest

Spin the Wheel: A Day at Wheel of Fortune

Get ready for an incredible day of television magic as we head to the legendary Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City for a live taping of Wheel of Fortune! Step behind the scenes and take your seat in the studio audience of one of the most iconic and beloved game shows in TV history. Since its debut in 1975, Wheel of Fortune has delighted generations with its perfect mix of luck, wordplay, and edge-of-your-seat excitement—and now you get to experience it live.

Before the studio excitement begins, enjoy free time for lunch on your own at the aviation-themed Proud Bird Food Bazaar, a unique and lively dining destination near LAX. Choose from a variety of delicious eateries while watching planes take off and land just steps away.

Once inside the studio, feel the buzz as the cameras roll and the lights come up! Hosted by the ever-charismatic Ryan Seacrest, who brings fresh energy from his work on American Idol and Live with Kelly and Ryan, the show comes alive right before your eyes. And of course, the timeless elegance of Vanna White continues to shine as she reveals those famous letters, a tradition that has become part of television history.

Watch contestants spin the legendary wheel, solve clever word puzzles, and compete for exciting prizes while you soak up the thrill of a live TV production. From the fast-paced action to the behind-the-scenes glimpse of how a hit show is made, this experience is packed with fun, nostalgia, and star power. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a truly memorable day filled with Hollywood magic and the joy of seeing Wheel of Fortune in action!
