I'll be staying in Burbank. I'm not an amusement park person. The La Brea Tar Pits and museum interest me, but other than that I don't really have any plans. I'll be there the second week of June for three days.
Thanks for any ideas!

If you head up into Bel Air from Sunset, you can take a great drive through a secluded area up to Mulholland. Silver Lake and Echo Park are cool places to walk around and get something to eat. The LA Zoo isnt too far either.

There's also a Getty villa north towards Malibu which has more sculptures.
Go to Venice too... the boardwalk is a kick. It's being gentrified, but there are still buskers and fortune tellers. Santa Monica pier (just north of Venice) is also fun.
If you can afford it and can spend a whole day, the Huntington Library and Gardens is amazing.

(16,498 posts)I ended up breaking my arm right after I got to Burbank, so I didn't get to do anything except the Kaiser hospital in downtown LA. I'm going back, though, soon!

(55 posts)If you like the history of the West, especially the Southwest, art galleries of old and new Western art, and if you are interested in motion picture history of Westerns this is a great museum. It is near Griffith Park and you can see it from Cahuenga Pass that takes you from Los Feliz area of Los Angeles to Burbank.

(16,498 posts)I will try to see this when I go back. My trip was actually something of a bust. I flew in to the Burbank airport on June 12th and then fell and broke my arm the next day. I spent the next two days in my hotel room icing my arm and taking Motrin, then left on the 15th. I'm OK now, out of the sling, but besides Burbank and the Kaiser hospital ER in downtown LA, I didn't really get to see anything. I am returning, though. I'm determined to spend more time in Southern CA.

(55 posts)That is terrible. Hoping for a quick recovery. There is so much to see in LA. It always brings a smile to my face to be there.
