Spend a day having fun in the sun at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Meet Looney Tunes and DC Comic characters as you enjoy the rides, attractions and shows in the nine themed areas within the amusement park. Have a truly magical day-with over a dozen rollercoasters, two water flumes, a go-kart track and more. There are enough activities at Magic Mountain to keep you busy all day and coming back for more.
If you are willing to travel a bit out of the main LA area, be sure to add the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden to your destinations list. This gorgeous, 127-acre garden and outdoor oasis is nestled into the low-key San Gabriel town, near the mountains. The Arboretum houses luscious plant collections from all over the world, including many rare and endangered species.
Walk through living history at the Heritage Square Museum. The Heritage Square attraction is actually a collection of homes in the Montecito Heights neighborhood. These houses demonstrate the growth and change in Los Angeles from 1850 to 1950. Tour Victorian Era houses and learn about the everyday lives of the Angelenos who used to live in them.
