The CNN Studio Tour lets you take a look behind the scenes at the world headquarters of the network that made Anderson Cooper a household name. You’ll hop on an eight-story escalator to get things going (if you’re afraid of heights, you might want to close your eyes); during the course of the tour, you’ll work your way back to ground level via back hallways and stairwells. Along the way, you’ll learn a little about the history of the world’s first news network; visit a special-effects studio where you can check out the gadgetry that goes into TV news; and watch the commotion in CNN’s main newsroom, where writers, producers and technicians are scurrying about. If there’s a live broadcast happening during your tour of CNN Studio, you’ll get to watch the networks’ anchors in action (sorry, Anderson fans, but Mr. Cooper works in the New York studio).

Behind the scenes

retirees' rating:

"Since retiring, my husband has been known to sit and watch CNN for two or three hours at a time, so we had to go tour CNN Center while we were in town. At the beginning of the tour, you ride up an eight-story escalator, which I thought was fun, but I think it unnerved Dale a little. The tour lasted less than an hour, and we got a behind-the-scenes look at how CNN works. We enjoyed seeing how they gather information and put it together for their anchors. The sets are much smaller and simpler than you’d think from seeing them on TV. There was a live broadcast happening while we were there, so we got to stop and watch that for a few minutes, as well."
