Another great place to eat if you're driving up the coast. It is a private beach and you can lounge in the sand if you so desire! Parking is crazy expensive but with the restaurant validation it is $6 with a 4-hour limit. Then you hit titanium pricing all over again. (Around $30) But 4 hours should give you plenty of time to eat and hang-out. Take a walk on their rickety looking pier, or just enjoy the sand and surf. Conversely, if you just want to spend time at the beach you can park up on PCH and walk down the road. Reservations are suggested.

This is a museum way off the beaten track. If you're into the esoteric, you should go and you will get bragging rights because this is a place most tourists never see.
The museum contains an unusual collection of exhibits and objects with varying and uncertain degrees of authenticity. New York Times critic Edward Rothstein described it as a "museum about museums", "where the persistent question is: what kind of place is this?" Smithsonian magazine called it "a witty, self-conscious homage to private museums of yore . . . when natural history was only barely charted by science, and museums were closer to Renaissance cabinets of curiosity." In a similar vein, The Economist said the museum "captures a time chronicled in Richard Holmes's recent book The Age of Wonder, when science mingled with poetry in its pursuit of answers to life's mysterious questions."

The Ballona Wetlands is a nature preserve which has three different parts.. freshwater marsh, saltwater marsh and a dune area. There is also a public trail (just off the corner of Jefferson and Lincoln Boulevards) that displays informational signage for those wanting to explore on their own, though there are several free tours given by the group that oversees the preserve. A great spot for bird watching, there are over 200 species of birds as well as other flora and fauna. But if you just want to take a nice walk, the public trail along the marsh is a pleasant outing. You can park on the south side of Jefferson Blvd. For more information check their website: http://www.ballonafriends.org

Ballona Wetlands
The Ballona Wetlands is a nature preserve which has three different parts.. freshwater marsh, saltwater marsh and a dune area. There is also a public trail (just off the corner of Jefferson and Lincoln Boulevards) that displays informational signage for those wanting to explore on their own, though there are several free tours given by the group that oversees the preserve. A great spot for bird watching, there are over 200 species of birds as well as other flora and fauna. But if you just want to take a nice walk, the public trail along the marsh is a pleasant outing. You can park on the south side of Jefferson Blvd. For more information check their website: http://www.ballonafriends.org

If you are a baseball fan, and even if you are not, catching a ball game at Dodger Stadium during baseball season is big fun! Tickets can be bought online or at the box office if the game is not sold out. Not to be missed are Dodger dogs - an exceedingly long hot dog - definitely the best in the major leagues in my opinion! If you don't want to park (and spend $20 at the gate), take the Metro to Union Station. From there there is a bus that will take you to the stadium free of charge. Give yourself enough time though! Tickets and schedule can be found here on the Dodger's website: http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=la You can also choose to buy tickets privately through stubhub: http://www.stubhub.com Expect to pay more on this site! The most reasonable seats are in the bleachers in the outfield.

How can you miss the "Happiest Place on Earth?" It's iconic, crowded and expensive. But if you've never been, you have to go at least once! California Adventure Park is adjacent and charges a separate entrance fee - but there may be some special rates for both, so do check that out.

Getting Around
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
3240 Washington BlvdThis is one of the Metro stops on the Expo line that will take you to downtown LA and other Metro train connections. There is a large parking lot at this location. The other closest Metro stop is on Bundy Ave though parking is limited. The Expo line will also take you to Santa Monica and either the Sepulveda/Exposition station (has a bigger parking lot) or the Bundy/Exposition station would be a closer ride to Santa Monica than the Washington/National stop. The Washington/National stop is a better one for when you want to head downtown.
