Tips and reviews

Here's what Trippy members say about La Brea Tar Pits:

"They'd include Hollywood Boulevard for the world of entertainment, Muscle Beach Venice (especially on the weekend, though it's crowded) for an astonishing beach and bohemian scene, Dodger Stadium (although Dodgers and Angels are usually not in town at the same time), Olvera St downtown (so-called birthplace of Los Angeles), La Brea Tar Pits (dinosaur remains), and museums."  See More

"My oddball choice for favorite attraction is La Brea Tar Pits because you have this amazing geological site right in the middle of a seemingly dead concretescape."  See More

"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Petersen Automotive Museum are in the same area but some distance from downtown."  See More

"Also, consider the La Brea Tar Pits, which is near the LACMA."  See More

"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and La Brea Tar Pits are next door to each other."  See More

"I also recommend the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA, which are in the same area."  See More

"Museums: La Brea Tar Pits is one of the most unique museums in the world."  See More

"And its next to the La Brea Tar Pits so you can visit that museum too."  See More

"For museums, my favorites are LACMA , La Brea Tar Pits and The Getty Center."  See More

"Mann's Chinese Theater, La Brea Tar Pits, Catalina Island,The Queen Mary, and Venice Beach and Boardwalk to name a few."  See More

"Hi, I would have to agree with Evi's suggestions! There are some that may overlap so bear with me: Venice Beach and Boardwalk- fun place to walk around and see the street performers and local vendors, muscle beach is there as well and sometimes they have entertaining competitions and such. This is definitely a day thing. Third Street Promenade - this is more of an evening thing if you want to see the street performers and get some shopping done along the way. It's a great place to people watch an walk around. The Grove While the selection of shopping isn't my favorite (which is good since you aren't looking to spend money), this is a fun place to people watch as well, you can pick a bench and grab an ice cream, participate in a free yoga class (or whatever is the class of the day - on the center lawn), you can hop on the trolley and ride to the other side of the mall to go to the Farmers Market which I'm sure will keep you entertained for a while. They have all kinds of food and things for sale. Hike any of the Hollywood HillsRunyon Canyon Park gives you a great view. The Griffith Observatory is a great place to see the city, you can walk around for free and take in the city, parking is also free! Taking a drive down Mulholland Drive offers free views of the city and a great drive. You can get tickets to see live tapings of your favorite shows. You can check out my answer to another Trippy member for details on how to order these tickets: "  See More
