If you\u2019re planning to take a trip to Los Angeles, then we strongly suggest that you plan ahead as there is simply so much to do.\u00a0If you don’t mind driving a bit, there are\u00a0some really nice beachview rentals in Newport Beach<\/a>,\u00a0which is around\u00a0an hour’s drive from LA.\u00a0You don\u2019t want to miss out on any of the amazing experiences that you can have there, which is why a plan is in your best interest. We also recommend looking ahead to book storage for the days where you check in\/check out of your hotel but still have the day to explore. Options like\u00a0radical storage<\/a>\u00a0are fantastic, and well worth looking into for your next trip to LA. So, without further ado, let\u2019s get into some of the amazing things you can do while you\u2019re on your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural History Museum <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a lover of all things history and dinosaur related then this is just the place for you. There are many natural history museums dotted around the world and the one in LA is the largest in western USA. You can see all sorts of things that will pique your interest, from fossils to chats on dinosaurs and how they ruled the earth. They also have an underwater section where you can find a real life whale skull. This really is amazing and you will certainly want to bring your camera along to make lasting memories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echo Park Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to explore the natural, outstanding beauty of LA then we recommend that you spend some time exploring Echo Park Lake. This is the perfect spot to top for a bite or plan a picnic. You\u2019ll see plenty of wildlife around<\/a> this location too and the lake also provides opportunities for captivating views of the city. If you\u2019re in the mood for some exploring, there\u2019s also pedal boats that you can take around the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch An NFL Game <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you a huge fan of the NFL? If so, then how about you take a trip to LAs newest stadium. Completed in 2020, the SoFi stadium can host a range of events. Events such as the NFL, this stadium can hold an astonishing 100,000 fans. At least you know you won\u2019t be short of a seat, as there are quite a few available! It is now home to two teams, the LA Rams and the LA Chargers, these are great options for catching a game or two while visiting Los Angeles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DisneyLand & Universal Studios <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, but absolutely not least, you can take a trip to DisneyLand, Universal Studios Hollywood and any other theme park in the region. We know what you\u2019re probably thinking. DisneyLand is just for kids right? Wrong. The two parks have some of the best theme park rides in the world that are sure to delight everyone in your party regardless of their age or maturity level. So, if you want to ensure that you have a fantastic time in LA<\/a>, then you absolutely need to include a trip here. You\u2019ll find classic rides including the Pirates of the Caribbean boat ride as well as new favorites such as The Incredibles Coaster. Indeed, there are so many different rides here, that you could easily stay for a whole week and never get bored. While the Disney in Florida is significantly bigger, DisneyLand is where it all began. So, it might even be worth the trip for its historical significance, particularly if you\u2019re a Disney fan. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Los
Los Angeles, California, USA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Aside from DisneyLand, there\u2019s also Universal. This is where you\u2019ll find rides themed on some of the biggest IPs in the world including Jurassic World and Harry Potter. If you\u2019re heading to LA without kids, then Universal might be more your speed. Particularly, if you\u2019re planning a trip in October. You\u2019ll be able to catch the incredible Halloween Horror Nights where the scares are just as great as the thrills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can definitely plan a whole trip to LA around the parks. Or, you can use at as your home point and then travel<\/a> to the rest of LA from one of the amazing, themed hotels. Or, you can just stop in for a day. It really depends whether you\u2019re a big fan of rides, great food, and outstanding shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope this helps you plan the perfect trip to LA for you, your family, or your partner. While LA might seem like something that you can check out in one day, once you arrive, you\u2019ll soon discover there\u2019s enough to see and do that you could spend a few weeks or a few months and never get bored at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
