Visiting Los Angeles
« on: March 02, 2025, 01:40:39 AM »
Hi everyone

Thanks to a couple of things coming together, it's possible I might be able to visit LA for a week or two in June this year with the family (17, 14 and 12).

We're likely to be fairly limited to LA and surrounds, so I wanted to check with the Brains Trust here on things worth visiting and things worth avoiding.

So far, things I've put on the "visit" list are:

- California Science Center
- La Brea Tar Pits
- Dodgers baseball game
- USS Iowa
- Griffith Observatory
- One of the movie studio places
- Getty Museum

I'd like to work out a way to include a Grand Canyon visit (I see there are 5 day train tours from LA), and my wife thinks the kids would love Disneyland.

Would anyone like to add to or subtract from the list?

Thank you very much!

I might be wrong, but I think the Getty Museum is in one of the areas that were hit pretty hard by the wild fires. It's still there, but maybe closed to tourism.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
