Top 5 Museums in Los Angeles County

4 Westmoreland Pl, Pasadena, CA 91103, United States

“Are you a fan of Back to the Future? Then come visit the Gamble House (of Proctor and Gamble). This is where they filmed the exterior shots of Doc Brown's house and garage. I took both an interior tour and a walking tour of the neighborhood. Lots of great historical information on mid-century Craftsman homes, architecture and the Gamble family. The extra fun aspect is how this location was used in Back to the Future! Be sure to get your tour tickets in advance online.”

3800 Homer St, Los Angeles, CA 90031, United States

“Loved our visit here. Miles was our tour guide for the inside tour of the homes. So worth seeing the inside, and Miles was Amazing!!! She had so much cool info about the houses and is such a fan of the Victorian age. We can't wait to go back.”

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 4800 Oak Grove Dr, Pasadena, CA 91011, United States

“Fascinating tour filled with a ton of information. Seeing an actual satellite being built, that will be launched into space later this year was certainly a highlight. Nicki was a great tour guide.”

“This spot started a live jazz night with a band. The ambiance was cool. Downstairs and dimly lit with a nice band doing r&b and jazz covers. The back has an area with board games and there is a small but sexy band.”

6801 Hollywood Blvd Ste 143, Hollywood, CA 90028, United States

“First time here and it was a fun experience! Kind of on the pricey side, but it is clean. Staff is nice and helpful. Music is obnoxiously loud, but I guess that's a vibe of Hollywood. They have Pepsi, not Coke. Would recommend for birthday party!”

Manhattan Beach Pier, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, United States

“Wonderful little gem of a place! Small enough to easily walk through while genuinely enjoying the wildlife displays and interactive experiences! The aquarium is conveniently located at the end of Manhattan Beach Pier. There are educational labels with pictures at each display, and there is a tide pool with guided interactive experiences on site for kids of all ages! The moon jellyfish were so cool to watch! Definitely if you are in the area check it out! It's easy to get to and free to enter, although donations are encouraged and accepted.”

4600 Virginia Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807, United States

12436 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025, United States

“Staff is nice and this place has incredible selections of records! I attempted to shop for classical music today and I walked out with 2 vinyls and 2 CDs for $11 which was a decent haul. They offer genres of all kinds for vinyls at good prices. I don’t think anything saw was usually over 30 something bucks. Definitely in demand commercial or popular collectibles were around that price range. But this is a nice place to get affordable records! They also offer a bin/attic area where u can browse for so many records for a $1. I got myself a DuPre CD and a Yehudi CD there!”

10808 Culver Blvd, Culver City, CA 90230, United States

“A lot to see. There is are two exhibitions in the middle and then permanent collections on either side with books and artifacts. There is a lot still in boxes that they are plan to put items online. The space is used well. The sculpture garden was small and peaceful.”

2711 Plaza del Amo # 511, Torrance, CA 90503, United States

“This is perhaps the best gaming store I’ve been to in both Northern and Southern California. Great decorations, great owner who was super friendly and gave me awesome advice walking me through what I needed to get. As someone who has done wargaming and trading card gaming for about a decade, I can, without a doubt recommend this place”

1600 Ocean Front Walk, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States

“Nice, smaller aquarium with many hands-on displays where visitors can pet aquatic life such as sharks, sting rays, and sea stars. The aquarium is located under the Santa Monica pier—follow the ramp or stairs down to find it. Entrance is free for kids under 12 with an adult ticket, which makes it an entertaining and affordable family option. There is also a small lab, movie/craft room, and camp and volunteer activities offered at the museum. Everything is on one floor and easily walkable/reachable for small kids. Be sure to check the special events calendar on their website for activities such as shark feeding.”

4800 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027, United States

“Wow -- what a beautiful home! We were unable to tour certain parts of the house, but that is usually the case with most of the Frank Lloyd Wright properties we have visited. Regardless, this place is pretty magnificent. The docents were very interactive and knowledgeable, not only about Hollyhock, but other Frank Lloyd Wright idiosyncrasies and properties as well. This was the best $7 we spent in California for sure.”

7227 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, United States

“We went to see Chris Estrada last night. Show was super good. Hes the man. The venue is awesome and food was bomb. The 2 drink minimum is also covered by food,not just drinks. Not just alchohol. Also its connected to a big bowling ally/arcade. Really badass!”

8625 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069, United States

“The girl at the front desk checking us in was amazing. Such a beautiful, vibrant, happy and welcoming energy and we felt right at home. With that amazing experience we thought we'd be treated the same in store, but sadly the guy with the dreads was exceptionally cold and unfriendly. No smile or greeting, seemed annoyed that we were there, very short with us and just exacerbated about everything. I almost wanted to just leave in that moment but we didn't want one person ruin the experience. We got our stuff and went upstairs, where the blonde male staff was super lovely, kind and helpful. Overall a great store, heaps of variety, and a wonderful spot upstairs to smoke and grab some food.”

19100 Esguerra Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91390, United States

“Awesome place. Love seeing the gibbons. They sing loudly. So cute. Great work.”

203 Chautauqua Blvd, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, United States

“Well managed Modern architecture memorial site. Can feel why Eames built the house here. Student special price $10 Adult $30 Need a reservation before visit Guided tour 90min. No parking lot, so need a street parking nearby. Google map guided a wrong entrance. Please follow as the Eames house homepage directions.”

27200 Winding Way, Malibu, CA 90265, United States

“What a great place to spend a few hours hiking to the falls. There is a slightly tough climb to upper falls as well. The climb had loose rocks and gravel. With good fitness experience It's not too hard and worth the climb.”

5202 Zoo Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027, United States

“very cool experience. the barn itself had a wait to get in. it can move slowly because there are people that will look at and read every single information card. i loved the model of natures wonderland and how disneyland looked back then in that area. the people working there are very nice and knowledge. i went today for a book signing with becky cline and i’ve wanted to go for years. i’ve also been dying for some merch to look at.. there’s nothing online to look at or buy. i took pictures so people have an idea of what there is to purchase. there are no real bathrooms.. just portable toilets really. that’s not ideal but better than nothing i guess?”
