Six Flags Magic Mountain is not for the faint of heart. This amusement park has been rated one of the best in the country for a good reason. The Full Throttle Coaster holds the world record for the world’s tallest and fasted looping roller coaster. Loop around 160 ft in the air and go from 0 to 70 miles an hour. I’m getting dizzy just thinking about it.

The Hollywood Bowl is the world’s largest natural amphitheater, being carved into the Hollywood hillside. The Rolling Stones magazine rated it one of the 10 best live music venues in the US. Take in a concert from the Los Angeles Philharmonics or one of the other hundred concerts that take place here each year.

Spend a couple of hours and visit La Brae Tar Pits. The tar pits are protected and displayed by the George C. Page Museum. Starting in 1913 these pits have been excavated by archaeologists and some extraordinary bones have been removed. You can see replicas of these finds, such as saver-tooth tigers, dire wolves, bison, and a giant sloth.

Venice Beach, it’s not just a beach it is an experience. In the early 1900’s local built canals fashioned after the canals of Venice in one of the more affluent neighborhoods of Venice Beach. Venice Beach is most known for the boardwalk. No matter what time of year you visit you will find street entertainers, magicians, skaters, and skateboarders roaming the area. Take a walking tour, fish the pier, or just grab a cup of coffee and watch the people go by.
