What
To Do In Los Angeles?
16 (9) Knott's Berry
Farm
Rock n Roll with over
165 of the wildest thrilliest thrill rides on the West Coast.
17 Griffith Observatory
If the weather is kind
and has blown away some of the smog you get to look down on much
of LA. The night views are also well worth seeing. If you get there
early enough you can park close to the observatory.
If you don’t beat
the rush you will have to climb someway up the hill. Despite the
line, you should consider a visit to the planetarium. Check out
the exhibits and maybe see a planet or two if you go at night.
18 California Science
Center
The California Science
Center is the West Coast's largest hands-on science center. There
are other museums located near by but you could easily spend the
day at the CSC. One other attraction of note, admission is free.
This is one of those things you do without great expectations but
leave feeling pleased with yourself for going. Enjoy.
The California Science
Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year's Day. Admission to the IMAX Theater isn't
free. It is open daily. Call 213-744-7400 for show information or

19 Cathedral of Our
Lady of the Angels
Beyond its religious
significance, if one can say that, the church contains a number
of ‘points of interest’. The large woven tapestries,
The 85 foot high pipe organ and the even harder to miss are the
bronze doors at the entrance.
You should also look
out for the shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the alabaster and
impressive old altar retablo. Perhaps the most moving is the realistic
tortured crucifix. The metal sculpture of Jesus’ body depicts
the torture Jesus endured for his flock.
20 Westwood Memorial
Park
The stellar Westwood
Memorial Park lacks a bit of life as you would expect
There are benches and
areas to sit and perhaps consider that it’s not about the
journey but the number of people who remember you (?)
