Los Angeles Travel Tips

  • Avoid downtown. Unlike most cities, there's really not much to do in downtown Los Angeles for tourists. Stick to more interesting locales, like the beach boroughs and Hollywood.
  • Watch surfers jockey for the best waves from historic Santa Monica Pier. While there, ride the roller coaster or check out visiting performers.
  • Get morbid on Dearly Departed: The Tragic History Tour of Los Angeles. This three-hour tour visits the scenes of the Manson murders and drives by the places where stars like Frank Sinatra and River Phoenix met their ends.
  • Spend an afternoon wining and dining on the terrace of the J. Paul Getty Museum on Sepulveda Pass above the city. Works of art and sunken gardens meet sunset views and events drawings L.A.'s well-heeled denizens.

    In short, lots. Depending on your particular teenager's interests, here are a few ideas to get the gray matter going: seeing the sights in Hollywood; cruising around Beverly Hills; shopping (OK, maybe window shopping) on Rodeo Drive; theme-park fun at places like Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain; hitting the sand at Venice Beach or Santa Monica; movie-themed action at places including Universal Studios or studio tours of the NBC or Sony Pictures lots; sporting events including LA Lakers (basketball), LA Dodgers (baseball), or LA Galaxy (soccer) games; and, finally, lots of outdoor action, including a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park (great rock-climbing) or a hike in the sprawling, and surprisingly accessible, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

There is also Froggy's Arts and Crafts, located in Toluca Lake, where children ages 2 and up can sign up for "Story Art & Craft" classes. A single class costs $10 and lets toddlers paint, draw, and more during story time. Call (818) 907-7326 for more information. Then There's the Paintbox Kids store in Pasadena. You and your baby can enjoy creating something together using the materials the store offers. What's best about this place is that they offer ideas for projects AND they do all the clean up at the end! Call (626) 808-0330 for more information.
