The La Brea Tar Pits are a group of tar pits around which Hancock Park was formed in urban Los Angeles.

Page Museum is dedicated to researching the tar pits and displaying specimens from the animals that died there. The La Brea Tar Pits is a registered National Natural Landmark.

Go and watch a movie in the iconic Pantages theater! There are frequent showings and usually have a fun little pre-show prior to the actual film starting. Then go and walk around Hollywood Walk of Fame and go and see the Red Carpet around the legendary Nokia Theater where the Academy Awards/Oscars are held. Pro-tip: Park in Hollywood and Highland lot and go and buy a snack from the local stand on the way up from the elevator to get 2 hours of validation - cheapest parking in the area!

Iconic and beautiful, the Getty Villa is located on PCH, also on your way to Malibu. It is pretty much a must see in Southern California if you are into art of the ancient world. If you simply want to wander around a beautiful and unique and peaceful setting and pretend you are in Ancient Rome, this is it! The Getty Villa is modeled after a first-century Roman country house, the Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum, Italy, and it is exquisitely done, even to the point of the gardens which abound with the herbs and plants one would have found near Vesuvius. There is a nice place for lunch.
