Los Angeles has been home to The BROAD for 5 years now. Anyone who has an appreciation for modern art or architecture should have visited twice already. Tho surprisingly many have not visited yet. Well besides its bold unapologetic art pieces. This museum also provokes thought and offer insight into topics both art and human related. Which helps us better understand the artists and their work and the times in which we live. A sophisticated yet very accessible atmosphere fostering an appreciation for art and for artist maybe even for your first time.

Parking was easy and located underground, but keep in mind, even with partial validation from the museum rates will still be high since it is downtown L.A. Entering was fast and easy with our reservations, and they no longer hand out maps of the museum, so you can just go directly to the museum website for a map or scan the code to get the link to the website and audio features. We last visited before 2020, and today we enjoyed the art installations and exhibits we saw. The shop has a wide variety of items that feature many of the different artists on display. I enjoyed the shop much more on this visit because of the wide selection and prices. I would recommend this museum for high school aged students, but there are adult themes and sexual content/gestures in some exhibits, so please keep that in mind.

So beautiful. Such helpful employees. I’d put this museum as a can’t miss for Los Angeles. If anything, I’d possibly say I’ve seen much, much better gift shops. We’ll run, knowledgeable staff, convenient place to sit while others shopped. I’d just choose more interesting product.

The Bradbury never fails to leave a tour group breathless. The plain exterior hides one of the most gorgeous interior spaces ever conceived. If you love architecture or history, then the Bradbury must be seen. Be sure to read the historic sign out in front of the building too! The story of the Building is really fascinating as well.

I didn’t know this place could be toured while not active in concert or event. Loved the beautiful architecture and there’s many nice vantage points for epic photos. Looking forward to returning for a Philharmonic Concert for the New Year one day!

A great tiered park in downtown LA with open lawns and space for kids (and adults) to run around. The park as an events lawn across the street from the courthouse and a built-in concert stage up the hill to finally a water fountain complete with a splash pad for the kiddos. It’s a nice scenic place to relax or enjoy a break to let your kids cool off. However, as with most of LA, there is a homeless population that you need to be aware of, especially with kids.

My kids love playing in the fountains and at the playground at the Grand Park!! We have been going here since they were toddlers. It is nice because there is also a Starbucks right next to the fountains. It makes it convenient to buy snack etc. The only challenge is finding parking. I usually can find metered parking and walk there. There is a metro stop that is right near the park.

This is an awe-inspiring place to go. Amazing that it’s right down the street from skid-row but one would never know it. Whether you visit during the day or after sun down this place is vibrant and beautiful. Great for the kids or an intimate couples picnic! ENJOY!!

A Los Angeles landmark. Located in the the historic bunker hill neighborhood. Angels flight has been in Los Angeles for decades. It’s only$1.50 a ride. Located just blocks from it’s original location. Across firm Grand Central market.

I’ve had this on my list for awhile. The experience didn’t disappoint. It’s a simple ride for $1 either direction and well worth it. Take your kids, explain to them the significance of Angels Flight & its history. There are many locals who do not even know of its existence! Keep it alive!

The funicular has operated on two different sites, using the same cars and station elements. The original Angels Flight location, with tracks connecting Hill Street and Olive Street, operated from 1901 until it was closed in 1969, when its site was cleared for redevelopment.
The second Angels Flight location opened one half block south of the original location in 1996, with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza. It was shut down in 2001, following a fatal accident, and took nine years to commence operations again. The railroad restarted operations on March 15, 2010. It was closed again from June 10, 2011 to July 5, 2011, and then again after a minor derailment incident on September 5, 2013. The investigation of this 2013 incident led to the discovery of potentially serious safety problems in both the design and the operation of the funicular.
Before the 2013 service suspension, the cost of a one-way ride was 50 cents (25 cents for Metro pass holders). Although it was marketed primarily as a tourist novelty, it was frequently used by local workers to travel between the Downtown Historic Core and Bunker Hill. In 2015, the executive director of the nearby REDCAT arts center described the railroad as an important “economic link”, and there was pressure for the city to fund and re-open the railroad. After safety enhancements were completed, Angels Flight reopened for public service on August 31, 2017, now charging $1 for a one-way ride (50 cents for Metro pass holders).

By far THE BEST escape room I have been to. The amount of detail in these rooms makes you feel like you left the real world behind and I absolutely love that the escape room had room after room after room for one game. Most escape rooms start off in one room and leads to to one more and that’s it, but this one kept the rooms coming making it very enjoyably and surprising. We did the pyramid room and it was so much fun. Already booked our second game and we can’t wait!

I didn’t enjoy Atlantis as much as I did the previous three escape rooms at this place. Still, if this is your first room, it’s as good a place as any to start. Great for team building, party games or date.

I was with a group of friends to do the in-person outdoor escape room The Jewels of the White Tiger. The puzzles were difficult but solvable. We got to walk around Chinatown, see the sights and it was a beautiful way to explore the city. Highly recommend!

This has to be one of the greatest city halls in the United States! This monument to the Los Angeles city government is not just an historical landmark, it’s also functional!
Renovated as the main building for conducting official business in LA.
On a recent visit, I was told to check back for access, as the staff were returning to normal operations soon. So I’ll relate my pre-pandemic experience here, with an update review pending.
After sitting in on a City Counsel meeting, I had a look around the ornate ground floor, where a security guard directed me to the back door security desk. There I was given a form to fill out to continue my self guided tour.
I was directed to take two separate elevators, then up a floor of stairs to the top floors which were open for viewing. There’s historical references, exhibits and spectacular 360° views from over 400’ high!
Getting to the LA City Hall may be the only expense, as paid parking and public transit via city bus or Metro rail and ride services, may be the way to go.
Reopening of COVID-19 related closures of sections may be staggered with recent staff and resource changes taking place.
I’d suggest calling the info line or checking online updates before planning to visit the building.

A must see tourist destination! Such a grand building, you must bring a photo ID and walk through security detectors. It’s nice to walk around and look at the architectural features. To note, they have a homeboy on the 3rd floor with decent food! I attended council meeting and went to the top floor to the observation deck. A must when visiting LA.

Absolutely LOVED Two Bit Circus! Their interactive games were super fun! There are some familiar games and some SUPER unique games I’ve not seen anywhere else created by local LA Indie Game Developers. There are cooperative games, head to head games, and team based games. They have an excuse puzzle room AND VR. Fun times and covid safe. Highly recommended! I also got the high score on pinball ?

First time at Two Bit Circus and it was such a smooth and easy process to sign up early and book card/passes. Everything can be done online and waivers can be signed early to save time trying to get into the arcade. They will provide you a card to swipe/tap machines and a wristband to show you’ve been allowed in before or signed a waiver.

The games are fun and there’s a bunch of cool things to try for a family or date night. It kind of sucks when some of the machines are down but they have VR and story rooms, and other cool machine games.

Food is available like hotdogs, french fries, etc. There’s alcohol for purchase as well.

Highly recommend you come try the place if you’re visiting the area. Street parking but very easy to find space.

It’s a cool space, they have created an outdoor area for dining and leisure during Covid that takes up the parking lot which is bummer considering no one seems to want o be out there since all of the entertainment is inside. Bit the VR games and attractions are a really good time!

The MOST BEAUTIFUL LA LIVE was overgrown & overtaken by dying & neglected trees! Also! UNLIMITED GAME apparatus! As well as THE BILLBOARD AWARD PROCESSION equipment! I was REALLY quite disappointed as LA LIVE is usually SO LOVELY! QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE, SPECTACULAR BEAUTIFUL SIGHT IN MY OPINION! ! My cousins were here from out of town! They REALLY were NOT impressed! Neither was my father who had accompanied them from just outside of LA! IN MY OPINION; YARD HOUSE RESTAURANT WAS FABULOUS! I LOVED IT! I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME! LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! My family seemed to ENJOY SMASHBURGER!

We did the zombie escape room and it was SO challenging yet fun! We had to look under microscopes, vials, and decipher the periodic table. There are lots of things to look at. Not too scary honestly! Super fun to do with a big group. The outside of the venue is very low-key. The building is black and the windows are all blacked out but come on time and you will be greeted at the door. You must sign in via their website/ scan the QR code and submit your email info.

They have lockers for your bags and coats. The front is a large comic book store and it is SO diverse! They also sell a few snacks which I thought was cool to have. There is a bathroom inside but try to get there early so that it does not waste your game time.

Good luck! We made it with 2 hints. You only get 3 hints lol.

Doing the zombie lab it was quite fun, we took a small group of 4 I won’t recommend more than that. Once there we were greater by very professional staff who allowed us to look at comics after. Unfortunately one of the locks was damaged but staff quickly fixed it and allowed us a few more minutes due to this interruption. I’d recommend it for a started escape room hoping to go back to do more soon.

Highly Recommended! This shop was truly worth it even if it were expensive. The coffee and the foods they served were absolutely delicious and OK. Besides, the ambiance was very good to relax. It was clean, fragrant, and satisfying to visit again and again. Even the waiter that served my order at that time was very pleasant and decent. I really like everything in this shop. Worth it!
