items Wanna go to somewhere around LA? Here are some of my favorite places I have been to either in Los Angeles or in the surrounding areas!
AMAZING PLACE! 10/10 recommend. It is free as long as you have a reservation (on the website). Definitely family friendly too! We easily spent a couple hours here but had a great time the whole time. Beautiful look onto the city too!

So cute to walk around! There is a ton of shops as well as food/coffee!! We spent a decent amount of time here and enjoyed it!
Shop - Old Pasadena
Honestly just sooo fun to go and walk around. We did this after dinner one night and got cute desserts from a little place here! Was so beautiful at night too since they had strings lights everywhere!
Rodeo Drive
This is the beach to go to! It will be busy, so prepare for that. There is a ton to do around it as well as just walking on the beach. We spent HOURS here all morning and into the early afternoon with swimming/being on the beach as well as shopping/f...
Huntington Beach
Such an awesome coffee shop! I adored this! They had such great tasting coffee at an affordable price as well as such fun places to sit! A fun and cute place to be.
Urth Caffe
Such a cool field! I would highly recommend this for a date or for family activities! We had so much trying different foods here and just hanging out at the game.
Angel Stadium
A great place to go if you want the disney feel without actually going into disneyland! I think there was such cute shops and amazing restuarants here! I had a great time exploring the area!
Downtown Disney District
Honestly don't recommend this as much. It was dirty and not super nice down where it starts. I would go if you are really excited to see a specific star, otherwise you're not missing out in my opinion.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
I had never heard or seen of this from all the places that I have been, but we really enjoyed this coffee! Such a cute little drive through place! Great tasting too!
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
A really fun place to go, but it is touristy so expect it to be somewhat busy. We had a great time here as well as walking around with all the shops and food! Another great family friendly option to see some cool stuff and make some memories.
Santa Monica Pier
We mainly just drove through all of this, but we enjoyed looking at all the massive houses and cool architecture in the area. If you want to go see somewhere without having to get out of the car, this is one place I can recommend.
Beverly Hills
This is such a fun activity to do!! It isn't super hard and is a great experience. You get amazing views when you get to the top. It is something that you have to do at least once in your life.
