Don't Forget to Add These Unique Experiences to Your Bucket List
Los Angeles is known around the world as one of the artsiest cities. A creative hub, it’s full of unique experiences, one-of-a-kind galleries, street art, and of course a huge history of film and TV with the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame stars. If you’re looking for fun things to do in Los Angeles, keep reading for some of the most cool and quirky suggestions.
Be An Audience Member for a Live Studio Taping
If you’re paying a visit to the USA’s hub of film and TV production, it would be rude not to be a member of a live studio audience for a day! If you’re a fan of a particular TV show, then what better way to watch it than from behind the scenes? It’s easy and affordable to get tickets - think about the shows that you like watching and Google the show name along with tickets. You’ll probably find they’re quite easy to get hold of.
Visit the Obscure Museums in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a hub of history, art and culture, and along with its unique heritage comes the people who want to celebrate the fringe cultures of society. Of course you’ll find the stereotypical galleries like the Museum of Art and Getty Centre, but what about the La Brea Tar Pits, The Museum of Neon Art, the Historic Street Lighting Museum or the International Surfing Museum - if there’s something you’re interested in, La is likely to be home to a museum about it.
Take a Helicopter Tour of the City
Admittedly this one is a little on the pricey side, but it perfectly fits the bill of unique. Seeing the city’s most famous landmarks from above is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s sure to make memories that last a lifetime. For an even more breath-taking experience, consider a sunrise or sunset flight to make it even more magical.
Explore the Strangest Ruins in LA
If you’re looking for something really unique to do in Los Angeles, it can’t get stranger than exploring an abandoned zoo. A few decades ago the city decided to move the zoo, and unlike most busy cities that are clamouring to redevelop every inch of land, Los Angeles just decided to abandon the site. The empty zoo sits in Griffith Park and is now converted into a picnic area. Spend some time exploring the area, walking through the old exhibits and climbing into the old animal cages - it’s a really surreal experience.
Visit the Caves at Leo Carrillo
Less than 30 minutes away from the bustling Santa Monica pier, you’ll find the peaceful Leo Carrillo State Park. Walk along the beach to explore a series of small sea caves and see what creatures you can spot along the way at low tide.
With a history and culture as vibrant as Los Angeles, there’s no surprise that there’s an endless list of cool places to explore in the city. From the typical tourist traps of Hollywood Boulevard and Santa Monica to the weird and wonderful museums and parks, you’ll never run out of things to do in this hectic city.
