Tyler Perry Studios: Crashing the Gates or Snapping a Selfie?
So, you're in Atlanta, the city too busy for hate (and apparently filming locations). You've name-dropped "Madea" one too many times and your travel buddies are starting to give you the side-eye. Naturally, your next move is to visit Tyler Perry Studios, right? But before you dust off your best Madea impression and rehearse "Hallelujer," let's get the studio visit situation straight.

Can You Just Walk In?
Hold Your Horses (Like, the Literal Stage Horses): Tyler Perry Studios is a working film and television production facility, not a theme park. Just waltzing in for a selfie with a soundstage is about as likely as convincing Aunt Shirley to go vegan.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
But I Really Want to See the Set of "House of Payne!"
We Feel You, But: Filming schedules are tighter than Madea's dress pants. Tours for the general public just aren't a thing (yet). However, there is a glimmer of hope!
The Tourist's consolation Prize: The Drive-By
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Yup, you read that right. While you can't exactly stroll the backlot, you can do a Tyler Perry Studios Drive-By. Look up the address (it's not exactly Area 51), hop in your car, and cruise by for a peek at the exterior. There's a designated pull-off area where you can snap a photo (think of it as your own personal red carpet moment).
Bonus Points: If you visit during production, you might even snag a glimpse of a set or hear the roar of a movie monster (though it's probably just Madea yelling at somebody).
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
