To Do In Los Angeles?

The Page Museum
The Page Museum
is located close to its major supplier, the tar pits. The museum
is home to an array of mammoths, saber-toothed cats and many other
ice age beasties. Some were feathered, most were tarred, no doubt
a few people have ended up the same way. One of the pit falls is,
if you try hard enough, you can still fall into the bubbling tar
pits – please don’t.
If you arrive
at the right time you might see the museum’s staff collecting
fossils. One of the pits is periodically open for excavation and
a fossil laboratory is viewable through a glass window.

Santa Monica Pier
Have some fun
on the Santa Monica Pier. Apart from the great views and a ride
on the coaster there are events and goings on to go on.
The beautiful
Santa Monica Pier is all about entertainment, dining and shopping.
Look to Pacific Park for a fast ride or a slow turn on the historic
1922 Carousel. If you would prefer to be close to nature visit Santa
Monica Pier interactive aquarium. If none of that appeal just go
for a walk along the planks of the Pier and enjoy lively street
performers - from musicians to artists. If all that fails look to
the heavens for some of the best sunsets California has to offer.
The Santa Monica
Pier is open 365 days a year and it doesn't cost a cent as long
as you don't 'do' anything other than walking and looking.

time in the movie business. Located on one of the world's most famous
studio lots, the walking tour gives you a rare glimpse of old Hollywood's
glory days and an insider's view of a state-of-the-art motion picture
studio. Sony appears to work a little harder with their tour guides
to make the tour a truly memorable experience. On any tour it helps
if the guide is interested and wants you to enjoy the experience.
No guarantee, everybody has a bad day but Sony tries hard to ensure
they aren’t frequent.
Sony Pictures
allows you take pictures with props and costumes to help capture
a few memories as well as providing some free memorabilia when the
tour is done.
15 Rodeo Drive
You will find
Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on the west side of the Los Angeles
metropolitan area. It has no cowboys or cowgirls to speak of, not
even a cow unless you are very unlucky. This is shopping, watching,
people country – ye-ha! Allow an hour or two for people-watching
and window-shopping, more if you plan to dine or buy something.
You will soon realize that his world famous three block long stretch
of Los Angeles' shops and boutiques is a little pricey. In fact,
Rodeo Drive is widely considered to be one of the most expensive
shopping districts in the world.
Rodeo Drive
is popular all year long but less so on weekdays. Best time to visit
is in the evening during the build up to Christmas. Lights and flowers
decorate the streets and the stores put on roh-DAY-oh show to remember.
The Drive pretty much closes on Sundays. If you are around on Father's
Day you might enjoy the free vintage car show.
