Los Angeles Travel Guide

Let's start off our Top 9 with a BANG, and head to the iconic Universal Studios Hollywood! A day of fun, excitement, adventure, magic, and thrills is ready and waiting with their amazing rides & attractions. Are you up for the challenge?

A true favorite of Universal Studios is the studio tour, where you can see King Kong come to life in 3D right in front of you! Come face to face with Amity Island's most famous resident, then hold on tight with the Fast & The Furious - Supercharged grand finale!

There's wizardry waiting with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, plenty of kiddie rides for the little ones, Transformers: The Ride-3D excitement, the entertaining Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and SO much more!

Universal Studios is one to keep visiting too, as there are always new rides & attractions opening, just like the new Jurassic World launching Summer 2019!

You're in Hollywood, so why not see the magic of the movies first hand with a tour around the Warner Brothers Studio! There standard Studio Tours allows you to experience the excitement of a working Hollywood studio, and see where your favorite TV shows & movies were filmed!

Kids will love to immerse themselves in the DC Universe, and see Aquamans' Realm. You can learn about what it takes to get from script to screen, and it in the Central Perk Cafe (parents, that one's for you!)

Also on offer are Deluxe Tours (with extra access!) and the Classics tour, celebrating the Golden Age of Hollywood. Lights, cameras, and ACTION!

The Hollywood Museum will completely immerse you in the magic of the movies, with the most extensive collection of Hollywood memorabilia in the world! Spread across four floors, there are on display over 10,000 authentic show business treasures, including costumes, props, posters, car collections, autographs, and so much more!

Parents and kids alike will love to see the collection, from the classics like Marilyn Monroe's million dollar dress and Elvis' personal bathrobe, to more recents such as Jurassic Park, Glee, High School Musical, Beyonce, & Miley Cyrus. You can even visit the dungeon from Silence of the Lambs! Eeek!

Lifelike wax figures complete the exhibits, so you can really imagine just what those stars would have been like in person! Say hi to Bette Davis for us!

Why not spend your family day out in LA surrounded by 1,400 animals, representing over 270 different species? Sounds pretty WILD, doesn't it? That's exaclty what you can do at Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Garden. It's a super fun day out for the kids, to meet their favorite animals, and learn about them too!

The exhibits are fun to explore, giving you a change to walk through a rainforest, experience the chimps of Mahale Mountains, head Down Under to Australia, and imagine yourselves in Africa with the gorillas. Kids can even enjoy their own children's zoo with lots of hands-on interactions with domestic animals.

Set across 133 acres, and open year round, it's time to walk on the wild side in Los Angeles!

Saddle up kids, we're off to Sunset Ranch Hollywood a good old fashioned trail ride, but with views that stretch out right over the city! Whether it's your first time on a horse, or you can ride like John Wayne (kids look him up), they have you covered!

Sunset Ranch offers day rides, as well as evening tours, lunch tours, and of course a BBQ tour too (we are cowboys and cowgirls after all). Yee haw!

A fun escape from the crowds of the city, and a great opportunity to see LA from a different point of view!

A visit to the Natural History Musuem of Los Angeles also means a visit to the oldest museum building in the city! Once inside, you will be met with some extraordinary specimens, and learn of the stories behind them.

Kids can see what mammals really lived in the Ice Age, and come face to face with some of the most incredible and terrifying dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth. You can even explore the Earth itself in the Gem and Mineral Hall.

Both indoor and outdoor experiences can be enjoyed, all with the one unifying theme of nature & culture in Los Angeles and the world.

Feel part of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood by taking a backstage tour of the Dolby Theatre, home of the Acadmey Awards! Formerly the Kodak Theatre, this stunning location is where that red carpet is rolled out, the photographers gather, and those gold statues are given out.

During the tour, you can check out images from previous Academy Award ceremonies, hear the stories of what it takes to put on such an event, and even see a real Academy Award statuette!

The La Brea Tar Pits actually began about 50,000 years ago, which is about 65 million years after all the big dinosaurs went extinct. Some annimals who lived around this time, got stuck in the sticky tar, and now you can see their incredible fossils within the la Brea Tar Pits Musuem!

There are over one mission Ice Age fossils collected, from over 650 species. You can see Mammoth tusks, tiny mice, the infamous sabre-tooth tigers and more!

The museum offers plenty of interactive fun for the kids too, just like watching paleontologists work on the Ice Age fossils right before their eyes!

If you're visiting Los Angeles with the kids, then a visit to Disneyland is a must! After all, it's the Happiest Place on Earth, and your all your friends, including Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, are waiting to say meet you!

Disneyland offers that classic theme park experience, but with a magical twist. A day here really gives kids a chance to live out their favorite fairytales (and the super cool rides help too!)

From the fast paced Space Mountain, to the gentle Tea Cups, and swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean, Disneyland is just as much for adult as it is for the kids. The Magic Kingdom awaits!
