Fun to take pictures hand over those of iconic movie stars in front of the theater. We also watched a movie into the comfortable red velvet seats where many stars had their premieres.

Be patient, as everyone wants to put their own hand or shoe print in the stars cement square! It does not take long to see it all, unless it's a crowded day. It is fun to see all of names and prints of stars, when Hollywood was glamourous. You may want to clean off the bottom of your shoes, before... More

Very nice theater, the nicest I've ever seen. The decor is amazing and will keep your wandering eyes busy for a long time. We saw a movie on a Thursday afternoon and it was not busy at all....less than 20 people in the entire theater. One downside is that the restrooms are in the basement and not all that clean.

A piece of Hollywood history. The handprints are facinating, and the main auditorium is a beautiful place to see a film

It's really a gem; I love the old themed interiors at Grauman's Chinese Theater. It's so huge and grand and fun and unique. I love the mirrored powder room in the ladies' room downstairs. But most importantly, I love the leg room in the theater. There's enough room between the rows that the person behind you isn't kicking your seat... More

Right on Hollywood Blvd and in the middle of all the crazies. You got to do this and put your hands and feet in the imprints of the stars. You see the stars on the walk also. Keep your wallet tight and avoid all the people trying to get your money and have fun!

There was some Hollywood history to hear about and some movie items to view. It's a beautiful old theater. Considering the low price, we thought this short tour was worth it.

It is hard to believe that the original footprints are still there. I enjoyed the courtyard and exterior front. But the theater was overpriced for me. As far as the characters and homeless: disgraceful. Robs that entire area of class. The homeless there just urinate all over the place. The characters are scary/shady characters inside.
