QVC Studio Park Tour: The Mecca of the Q

For Q fanatics a trip to QVC Studio Park located in West Chester, PA is comparable to the Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca every Muslim must complete.) QVC Studio Park is, essentially, the Mecca of all things Q and every Q fan should complete the tour at least once. I would try to explain the tour, but I think QVC describes it quite accurately:

The QVC Studio Tour is a one-of-a-kind guided walking tour through the fantastic world of electronic retailing. At this state-of-the-art broadcasting facility, guests will see and experience how QVC products are sourced, tested, brought to life on air, and delivered to millions of QVC customers.

During the tour, the guide will actually take you to the Observation Deck and you may get to see a program in progress (how exciting!), or see your favorite host (Lisa please!). The tours are available every hour, on the hour, 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $7.50 per adult, and $5 for children, 6-12 years old. I know you’re wondering…Yes, I have done the QVC tour. It’s pretty fun, and you learn a great deal about what actually goes into a broadcast. Be forewarned, if you choose to do the Q tour – you will be surrounded by the Q crazies. When I was there a little-known host was walking out the entrance and was immediately surrounded by 4 or 5 women.
