    Review of: The Getty Center
    Great Art Experience
    This was a remarkable museum filled with art, scuplture, and manuscripts. While the tickets are free, it costs $20 to park. That wouldn't be bad for a party of 4 but I was traveling solo. It was still worth the price. Each building has 2 floors and galleries are a little confusing. I would do each building, one at a time starting on the first floor and then going to the second. The galleries are numbered on the entry so just go in order. The grounds are beautiful, as well.

    Review of: Alcatraz Island
    Interesting little island
    The very beginning of this tour is wonderful. The view of the city from the ferry is great. After reaching the island, it's a self guided tour with a pair of earphones providing us with all the information. Lot's of people visit in the tour but crowd is organized and everyone can take the tour at their own pace. Other than that, we could wander around the small island and get amazing views of the ocean. Great little day tour into the history book pages of the prison island.

    Awesome experience!
    The USS Midway Museum was an unexpected surprise. I went reluctantly, but really enjoyed every second of it.

    Review of: Pacific Coast Highway
    California: marvelous and diverse
    Great place to visit and many sites to go. Started from LA and went all the way up to SF. Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco were definitely the best places to hang out. Don’t miss Santa Barbara either!

    Review of: Disney California Adventure Park
    Such a fun time!
    I've been to Disneyland before, but this was my mom's first time visiting. It was a great time for both of us. We were nervous about the crowds being heavy around this time, but it was nowhere near what we expected.

    Review of: Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
    Spectacular views combined with an excellent hike
    A very cool experience taking this aerial tram over 8,000 feet up while the floor of the tram rotates! The views while travelling both ways and while up at the top were magnificent. There are lots of opportunities to take photos of the Palm Springs area. Do one or two hikes while up there. Wear appropriate shoes and bring a sweater as the temperature is much cooler at the top.

    Review of: Monterey Bay Aquarium
    A must do
    A must if you are visiting Monterey. So much to see and do. You have to book prior to arrival. Don’t think you can just turn up.

    Review of: Santa Barbara County Courthouse
    Open up!
    Unfortunately the place is closed temporarily so we were unable to go inside. But even the outside is worth checking out and there's a really nice courtyard area to have a little lunch. Beautiful architecture and paintings, so bummed I didn't get to see the inside.

    Review of: 17-Mile Drive
    Great views on the tour
    We started in afternoon and finished the drive in around 4 hours. The whole drive was full of great views of sea, rocks, sea birds, seals sea lions, trees under nature. Our whole family group enjoyed it. Sunset was beautiful in the evening from The Lone Cypress point.
