The Brady Experience Launches
Fans can tour the exterior of the 1970s sitcom “The Brady Bunch” in Studio City, Los Angeles. The “Brady Experience” offers semi-private, self-guided tours from mid-May through early June. Tickets cost about $289–$290 each, fees included, and all proceeds benefit the dog-rescue nonprofit Wags and Walks.
History and Preservation
The house at 11222 Dilling Street served as series’ exterior; interior scenes were filmed on a Paramount soundstage. HGTV bought and renovated the property in 2018 to match the on-screen décor; in 2023, Tina Trahan purchased the home for $3.2 million to preserve Hollywood history. The Los Angeles City Council granted historic-cultural monument status.
Tour Details
Location: 11222 Dilling Street, Studio City, CA. Dates: May 11 – June 12 (2026) and “mid-May through summer” in other reports. Age 14+. Price: $289.75 (artthreat) or about $290 (other sources). All revenue benefits Wags and Walks; early reports cite “hundreds of thousands of dollars” raised.
Official Statements & Responses
Tina Trahan said the house “represents something bigger than just a television set” and that opening it “in a thoughtful way… while also supporting a meaningful charitable cause” aligns with her preservation goals. The city council’s historic designation affirms the property’s cultural value. The Brady Experience calls the tour an “immersive blend of entertainment, design, and storytelling” that recreates iconic set details. Actor Christopher Knight praised the experience, saying it feels like home and evokes the series’ comfort.
Criticism & Opposition
Derek Berry, president of experiences for ticket platform Bucket Listers, said the limited group size and short runtime make the tour relatively expensive, a factor that could deter some fans.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Historic designation year varies: some sources list 2026, others note a recent council decision. Ticket price is reported as $289.75, $290, and “approximately $290.” Tour dates differ between a May 11 – June 12 window in 2026 and an unspecified summer period. No data are provided on visitor capacity or plans beyond the summer window.
