Things to do in Los Angeles, California (CA): The Best Educational sites
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor.

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.

It's an unassuming border to the main campus, but Westwood if chock full of wonderful shops, restaurants, and coffee stops in the shadow of a big city urban scape. As you traverse the streets and pathways of Westwood, you start to discover a beautiful campus setting with all the trappings of a "Southern California" environment. Student pedestrian and cycling traffic reflect the academic dedication that is required for success on this campus. The diversions of play spaces, grassy quadrants, party establishments and suburban style entertainment options color the campus with a unique blend of academia, suburbia, and college frivolity. Once you've walked a mile through the streets and college spaces that characterize Westwood, you may find yourself chanting the iconic: "U -- C -- L -- A -- UCLA fight, fight fight" (or "enjoy, enjoy, enjoy")

7. Los Angeles Environmental Learning Center
The City of Los Angeles created the Environmental Learning Center to teach children and adults about sustainable water and solid resources management. The 20,000-square foot facility is the stunning result of completely renovating the Hyperion Treatment Plant's former administration building into a leading center for environmental learning. Sustainable practices and learning experiences were built throughout the LEED Gold facility. Admission and parking are complimentary, but advance reservations are required. When you visit, look for the following features that we have incorporated to demonstrate and teach sustainable resource management: * A first-floor gallery of interpretive exhibits that focus on clean water and watershed protection. * A second-floor gallery that discusses solid resources and shows how Los Angeles is on the Road to Zero Waste. * A green roof that is irrigated with recycled water, skylights that provide natural light to the second floor, photovoltaic panels that generate electricity, wind turbine, solar water heater, and a view deck to observe the treatment processes at Learning Center at Hyperion and Santa Monica Bay. * A terraced wetland fed with recycled water and stocked with mosquito fish. * A walkway to the entrance made of permeable pavers, a stream and drought-tolerant landscaping. * An 87-seat auditorium and learning lab classroom. * Other sustainable features, such as chilled-beam air conditioning, waterless urinals, low VOC (volatile organic compound) paint, and smart controls for irrigation.
