Places You Must See in Los Angeles
California Science Center
We had three days to visit different places, so we took advantage of our time. The first day, we visited the California Science Center because my nephew really wanted to see the space shuttle. Our trip to the science museum was definitely worth our time. We loved it our time there. My kids (ages 5 and 6) really enjoyed the visit and my 13 year old nephew also liked it. I also witnessed a lot of adults-only visiting the museum, so it is clear that this museum works for all ages. The best part – the science museum is free! You do have to pay $12 to park, but the museum admission is free.
San Pedro Korean Friendship Bell
The next day, we decided to visit the south bay of Los Angeles, where I live. We toured around Palos Verdes Estates, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Manhattan Beach. Some of the highlights were seeing the Korean Friendship Bell. If you’re in the LA area, this is definitely worth the drive. The bell is really gorgeous, but it is closely matched by the amazing views of Long Beach and the South Bay. You can see so much of LA and Long Beach from up here It’s quite an amazing view and the bell is also stunning.

Palos Verdes Views
Another highlight of our time in the South Bay was checking out some of the amazing parks and view points in the Palos Verdes area. Some of my personal favorite look out points included the Palos Verdes Estates Shoreline Preserve, the Ocean Trails Reserve, and Abalone Cove Shoreline Park. All of the views from the different park of Palos Verdes are really amazing. The cliffs are gorgeous and you can see so much from these various look out points. I know I’ll go back to these areas a lot. The views are just breath taking and I find these areas so peaceful and restorative.
South Bay Beaches
The Hollywood Sign
We had a few great days touring the city, and I got to see several things for the first time. Although we saw a lot of great things, we also saw some things that totally weren’t worth the effort. I’m currently working on another story to tell you the places I’d definitely not go out of my way to see again. Stay tuned!

Thank you Stacey, we travel to California quite often and need some inspiration. We always go to Santa Barbara then head to Vegas, we usually stay in Rancho Cucamonga on the way but it would be nice to change it up, I feel like we are in a vacation rut. I have been researching different hotels to stay in, so I will put these points of interest ideas in my phone for reference for our next trip. I look forward to your next post of where not to go.
