    Review of: The Getty Center
    Incredible Artwork!
    This place is phenomenal! It's huge, more than one visit is necessary in order to see everything OR you can focus on just the kind of artwork you like. There's plenty of places to eat, the prices are kind of reasonable, and they have a wide variety of food and drink. There's also a succulent garden that's mostly in the shade, if you're there on a hot day. The views are great, I was there when it wasn't too hazy or smoggy, it was pretty clear. Just be sure to stay hydrated. :)

    Review of: Griffith Observatory
    Must see in LA
    One of the highest points in LA, the Observatory has fantastic views of the city including the Hollywood sign. Inside , the 30 minute film is a great experience of space and the solar system.. Also there is the Foucault pendulum and the Tesla coil display. Parking is a nightmare especially if coming from Los Felix Bvd, better to park on N.Vermont Canyon Rd just before the Greek Theatre for FREE .

    Review of: Universal Studios Hollywood
    Amazing a must!
    Family with 16 year old who loves Harry Potter. Amazing place, blew our minds away. Definitely get express pass and target your priorities straight away. Longest queues was Jurassic Park around 1.5 hours. Expensive inside but to be expected. Best money spent... one off so worth saving for.

    Review of: Petersen Automotive Museum
    Must visit for the car enthusiast
    I had a great visit at the Peterson Auto museum. I did the regular museum and the guided vault tour. Great exhibits and the vault is a must for the car enthusiasts. Gift shop overpriced!

    Review of: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
    Best part of the park
    This is the best part of Universal and why we went. They need more rides or make the hippogriff one longer for instance and with more entertainment value. But the other HP ride is amazing, one of the best I've ever been on. Navigating the lockers for your items was not lovely, so go early on this ride before you've bought wands and things that might not fit in there. However, I could stay in that part of the park all day. Should have just stayed there; and just went and played with the wands. The food at 3 broomsticks is great and so is the butterbeer. The robes for sale need to be better fabric, they were too itchy so we opted out.

    Review of: The Grove
    Nice and fun
    It is a wonderful place, music, people, vintage style, fashion, and shows. It has everything for a nice evening.

    I didn't have any expectations because I was just walking by, it was a nice surprise to find out that kind of place.

    Review of: La Brea Tar Pits and Museum
    Tar Pits
    We walked around the area outside the museum to look at the natural tar pits and other exhibits. Loved it..something you do not see in museums. We did not do the museum since we have been to many and they all sorta repeat. So I cannot review their museum.

    Review of: Walt Disney Concert Hall
    Gehry designed Hall
    Interesting building inside and out - sweeping curves of metal on the exterior makes for a striking aesthetic. Worth a visit and the self guided tour was informative. Shame the main hall was closed at the time of our visit.

    Review of: Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
    Excellent Museum
    On a non-school day, my granddaughter and I visited the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Tickets must first be purchased online, selecting day and time of planned visit. Face masks must be worn at all times, except when eating.
    We also reserved tickets for the "Becoming Jane" exhibit on Jane Goodall. We both enjoyed the exhibit, which included a tent simulating what Jane lived in when she was in Africa. My granddaughter really enjoyed mimicking the chimpanzee's sounds alerting that a snake is nearby. There is a small restaurant to get a snack or lunch and plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating. The gift shop offers a variety of souvenirs, toys, gifts.

    Review of: Runyon Canyon Park
    Made a new friend hiking here
    I’d love to hike it up again. Walking around, enjoying the view I think at 86 degree heat was nice. I went alone and saw another hiker that was also taking pictures and she asked me to help her take her photos. I was like only if you take my photo too! It was nice, after that we hiked together for a bit since we were going the same way. I entered from the top while she parked at the bottom. This was both our first time and from different cities. She told me about the tough hike up. I was just gonna do a short back and forth but since she did it, I wanted to do it too. So I circled up and felt the strenuous incline and saw different water station for dogs. Like a bowl by a tree, with water left by other hikers into a bowl.

    I definitely stay hydrated and went up with my new Nike oneota be true sandals. They were pretty great for this hike.

    I look forward to the next time I come around.

    Review of: Venice Canals Walkway
    Great place for stroll
    I’ve lived in Southern California my entire life, and I never knew Venice Canals neighborhood existed until a friend took me. I’ve seen it in TV series and never bother to research the location. It’s pretty nice here for a stroll and it’s very very quiet. Landscape is amazing. The only set back is outside of this neighborhood where you park your car are filled with homeless encampment.
