Never fear. One of the stated goals of the $741 million reconfiguration is a goal of no more then 30 minute wait. Can hardly wait til 2018. 
Tax dollars hard at work

Ooops, I haven't been there since it
was the Twentieth Century - Fox studios and they had tours every day.
Apparently the tours all stopped when it became Baja Studios but you can take an interactive tour on their web site:

As I understand it from their we site they are currently filming "Ghosts of the Pacific abut US pilots during WWII.
This is what the web site currently says about tours:
Studio Tour
The Studio Tour, originally known as Foxploration, opened in May 2001 and offered visitors a range of Titanic-themed displays and exhibits, along with
items related to other movies shot at the studios.
Unfortunately the studio tour is not open to the public at the present time.

There had been some issues especially with the actors not wanting to be in Mexico during the height of the cartel carnage. There was a time when
actors were put up in hotels in San Diego and flown via helicopter to the studios and back to SD..
As we all know, things have quieted down considerably since then.

Apparently they don't do tours anymore. We were going to go this weekend.

Agua Caliente hotsprings and campground off Mex. 3 is a great day. They were under "new management" - another cousin or something - and making some
improvements a few years ago. He showed us a new hotspring tub and restroom under construction. They have a large hotspring-fed pool (like a
swimming pool) with changing room. A few rooms to rent, a nearby campground with huge oaktrees. A stream meanders through the canyon for a nice
hike. The cost was $7/pp as I recall; $10 to camp. Might be a little more now.
San Carlos hotsprings is another place for a fun day - off Mex. 1, turn at the Baja Country Club road in Maneadero.
My son used to go to a place and meet a panga to go fishing somewhere around Rosarito. They take out whoever shows up. He want with a friend and I
think they paid $50 total - gotta meet them early in the AM. You might ask around and see if those pangas are still around. Take your own life vest,
gear.
Laguna Hanson and the Natll Park campground around there is a nice drive. Head in the same direction on Mex. 3 out of Ensenada as to Agua Caliente.
The lake might be dry, but the area is nice to hike, and there was a guy who came around with horses to ride.
And a little further drive is Meling Ranch - not sure what's going on there now. Most of the lodging property was sold a few years ago, and some of
the land was planted in barley. Mike's Sky ranch nearby, and other mountain hideaways. Continue to Sierra San Pedro Martir for camping.
And to answer your question about off-road driving-- Just follow the dirt road where there is one, they can be challenging enough. Thousands of miles
of dirt roads. Be respectful of the desert environment.

Awesome answers! How far are these places from Rosarito (roughly)?
