LOS ANGELES ATTRACTIONS 

Los Angeles Zoo Californian ScienCenter el Pueblo de los Angeles Historic District Mann's Chinese Theater Third Street Promenade Mall Getty Center Griffith Observatory Hollywood Farmer's Market Rancho La Brea Tar Pits Will Rogers Memorial State Park Hollywood Sign Walk of Fame Exposition Park One of the beauties of Los Angeles is the multitude of attractions, in every region and corner of the city. LA's downtown area is surrounded by freeways, intermingled with the Los Angeles River, concrete and congestion. But take heart, attractions are plentiful like the LA Children's Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Civic Center. Experience the flavor of Old Mexico when you visit El Pueblo de Los Angeles, an historic state park and Olvera Street, a block long Mexican marketplace. Across the street is Union Station, an architectural treasure. Just north of the station is a 16-block area known as Chinatown. Little Tokyo is around the corner where you can see the Japanese American National Museum housed in a historic Buddhist temple. With its reputation for glamour and glitz, Hollywood still sparkles with plenty to entertain any visitor, like the Hollywood Entertainment Museum, the Guinness World of Records Museum, the Wax Museum, and Ripley's "Believe It or Not" Museum. Just west of Hollywood is Beverly Hills, home of the "rich and famous." But it is also home to the Museum of TV & Radio on Beverly Drive, with the collected works of famous radio and TV personalities. Home to UCLA (University of California,Los Angeles) and the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Culture, Westwood Village is at Wilshire and Sepulveda Boulevard, just down the street from the Getty Center, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Santa Monica Freeway. Down the 405 freeway a few miles is the new Museum of Tolerance. Near Hancock Park on Wilshire is Museum Row. Some of the best known museums are all located on Wilshire Boulevard like the LA County Museum of Art, the Craft & Folk Art Museum, the Carole & Barry Kaye Museum of Miniatures, and the Petersen Automotive. You might want to stop at the La Brea Tar Pits and the George C. Page Museum too, as long as you’re here. In Pasadena see the Norton Simon Museum, the Green Hotel, the Gamble House and the Pacific Asia Museum. A few miles away in La Canada, take a tour of Descanso Gardens, a 165-acre botanical garden. The old west lives on at the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Griffith Park, also home to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory and Planetarium. Removed from tradition, Los Angeles has no urban center but is a collection of connecting communities, each with its own attractions and unique character. Welcome to LA.
