10 Gardens in Los Angeles That You Shouldn't Miss
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

There are quite a few things to do in Exposition Park from the Natural History Museum, to the African History Museum to the gardens. You can easily spend 1/2 day to a full-day in this location. Great place to take the Kids as they will burn off a fair amount of energy while learning and expanding their awareness.

It was a pleasure to meander amongst the imaginative and thought-provoking artistic creations. Featuring some of the finest sculptures from the past century, they are set in peaceful and sylvan surroundings. Named after the university’s third chancellor, it was he who dedicated the garden in 1967.

The Los Angeles Temple feels like an oasis of peace in the midst of hectic traffic and city bustle. Although only qualified members of the Church can enter the temple, there is an excellent visitors center on site which has many hands-on displays, visuals, videos, etc. Everyone is welcome to spend time at the visitors center or to stroll the well-maintained grounds. Inside the Temple itself are beautiful wall murals and other paintings that cause one to reflect upon God and His love for us.
