number 10 theme parks los angeles is
a hub for some of the country's premier
theme parks
from universal studios to six flags
magic mountain
it's also within driving distance of
disneyland and knott's berry farm
unfortunately amusement parks were hit
hard in 2020 due to the pandemic
to reopen safely larger parks need to be
in the state's yellow or minimal tier
which will allow them to open at 25
capacity
while these guidelines have been met
with some controversy theme parks could
potentially
start to reopen in time for summer and
we're keeping our fingers crossed that
they're in good shape for the holidays
after a year like 2020 we could
definitely go for
a tall glass of butter beer from the
wizarding world of harry potter
number 9. la comicon if you're a nerd
then you've come to the right place la
is nerd culture central with no shortage
of geeky galleries
board game cafes and comic book shops
most notably golden apple comics like
theme parks the pandemic has also taken
a toll on conventions
several cons are currently scheduled for
2021 however
including la comicon originally
organizers were hoping to hold this
annual
in-person event in december 2020
although it was
ultimately cancelled as of writing the
next la comic-con is set to take place
from september 24th to 26th
2021 in addition to tickets all the
talent booked for 2020 have also rolled
over to 2021
so we can expect appearances from shazam
star zachary levi
and smallville star tom welling number
eight
the music scene as you might have
noticed from our past two entries
there are quite a few la establishments
that we hope to see bounce
back in 2021 this extends to music
venues
like the los angeles music center and
the hollywood bowl the sunset strip in
particular provides an experience that
every music lover should experience
for generations people have flocked to
the strip's legendary clubs like whiskey
a go-go for the live
music you don't need to attend a concert
to get a taste of la's rich music
history either
taking in the sights you'll come across
various music landmarks such as the
capitol records tower and the hollywood
jazz mural
amoeba music and guitar center's rock
walk are also staples of the music scene
number 7 beverly hills as long as you're
in la
you might as well drive down to beverly
hills for a day of fun-filled
exploration
this city is easily one of la country's
hottest spots for sightseeing
take in the diverse array of shops
restaurants and picturesque scenery on
rodeo drive
the beverly gardens park is guaranteed
to provide a plethora of instagramable
moments
simply driving around to spot the
glamorous mansions is an adventure
for film fans you'll want to take a few
pics outside of paramount picture
studios on
melrose avenue and as long as we're on
the subject of paramount movies
why not explore the many wonders of
sunset boulevard
once the sun goes down bask in the 90210
nightlife by hitting up
a few clubs number six shopping
you may want to bring an extra suitcase
to la because you're going to fill it up
with new clothing
souvenirs and other purchases this city
is a shopaholics fantasy come to life
as mentioned before you'll find plenty
of merchandise at shops cater to our
inner nerds
anyone looking to expand their wardrobe
has to check out the la fashion district
for the latest styles
you'll come for the fashion but stay for
the district's food
flowers and outdoors experiences
speaking of outdoor shopping
you're bound to find something
interesting at the santee alley bazaar
if you're looking for a retail center
that offers a little bit of everything
you can't go wrong with hollywood and
highland or the grove at farmer's market
number 5. christmas in l.a while some
can't imagine the holidays without snow
others prefer warmer winter weather for
those who fall under the latter category
you can expect modest la temperatures
with an average high of around 68
degrees fahrenheit
and low of 40 degrees fahrenheit while
there may be more sunlight than snow
la doesn't skimp on the holiday
decorations
the already majestic scenery is only
made more vibrant by the christmas trees
and light displays
as for yuletide events the hollywood
christmas parade is the ideal way to cap
off your thanksgiving weekend for ice
skating and rides
set a course for the queen mary and
since the holidays come at the end of
the year it's possible that the coveted
situation will be more stable
opening the door for other activities
number
four the museums california has more
museums than any u.s
state and a good portion of them can be
found in la
given the sheer volume of museums
there's naturally a fair deal of variety
to choose from
for those looking to stimulate their
mind you're sure to learn something new
at the california science center
la brea tar pits or griffith observatory
since la is full of creative thinkers
we'd be remiss
in not mentioning the los angeles county
museum of art or the museum of
contemporary art
of course we'll always associate la with
movie stars so you'll definitely want to
expand your knowledge of film history at
the academy museum of motion pictures
which is scheduled to open on april 30th
2021
number three the food there's no denying
that la is one of the world's most
essential destinations for foodies
while there's not enough time to go over
every worthwhile eatery
we'd recommend starting off the day with
breakfast at the original pantry cafe
for lunch follow your nose to whichever
food truck or street vendor has the most
enticing
smell sink your teeth into a steak at
the pacific dining car for an
atmospheric and classy dinner experience
you can either close out the night with
a box of baked goods or a legendary la
cocktail or why not both
whether you're in the mood for pizza
burgers or tacos
la puts a unique spin on all the
classics
number two the beaches being on the
biggest city on the west coast
la is known for its luxurious beaches
from the elegant sunsets to the
shimmering sand to crisp breeze
there's nothing quite like a day at an
la beach the street performers only add
to the ambiance
as for which beaches to keep on your
radar malibu is a little slice of
paradise
and your trip would not be complete
without a stroll down the manhattan
beach pier
if you want to make the most of your day
in the sun though look no further than
the santa monica pier
this spot is equal parts beach and
amusement park with its solar-powered
ferris wheel concession stands and the
cleverly titled west coaster
number one hiking and biking as far as
outdoor activities in a lego
hiking and biking are not only two of
the healthiest but also the most
rewarding this can largely be attributed
to the city's natural beauty
griffith park runyon canyon park and
baldwin hills are just
some of the best places for a tranquil
hike biking through santa monica and
venice you'll get to experience the
thrills of la at a heart racing rate
for a true adventure you can go on a
search for one of la's waterfalls
most of them are nestled away which
makes finding them all the more
enthralling
la may be one of the most expensive
cities in the country
but you can't put a price on its outdoor
splendor
