Things to do in Los Angeles, California (CA): The Best Nature & Parks
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 some really talented skateboarders here, there were a few youngsters under the age of ten that were amazing to watch and completely fearless.

The boardwalk is a colourful, liberating, accepting place that we fell head over heels in love with! A must visit for everyone who visits LA! Unlike mentioned in a review below, there is a great restaurant called The Sidewalk right on/in the middle of the boardwalk that we went to twice, it was perfect for people watching! There are so many little eateries on the little roads that lead up to the boardwalk to, just a few steps off the front and there are plenty of fast food outlets with great selections. The scooters are an absolute MUST, $1 to unlock and and just 15 cents per minute of use and you cam leave them anywhere! Since of the best fun we had all holiday. You do get an intermittent smell of cannabis but as cannabis users ourselves it doesnt bother us at all, although it's not as rife or as frequent as some are making out. And it just adds to the atmosphere, vibe and freedom of Venice!

Weight lifters still strut their stuff at this outdoor gym where, in the 30s, 40s and 50s, crowds would gather to watch young men and women honing their bodies, some of whom, like Vic Tanny and Jack LaLanne, went on to fame in the fitness world.

Muscle Beach is where body building legends have trained. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dave Draper and many others have called this their muscle home. Almost anyone can sign up for a fee (less than you might think) and get a year long pass to use the place. The body building championships are great and a must-see experience. Muscle Beach is historic and it's in Venice Beach. Very cool. George Vreeland Hill
