What travellers are saying
- Richard N1 contributionThis is truly a unique experience. Their tour guides are passionate and knowledgeable, the history is unmatched. This ship is an impressive feat of engineering and is a testament to the American Spirit. Absolutely worth the time and money spent.Written September 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Farhan SLos Angeles, CA5 contributionsThe Venice Canals Walkway is a serene escape with picturesque views and charming footbridges. Ideal for a peaceful stroll, it showcases unique architecture and vibrant plant life. A hidden gem in the city.!Written August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sherry RCovington, KY14 contributionsWe visited the museum with a baby in a stroller so couldn’t see the collection building. The museum’s inventory is so impressive, can only imagine the “collection”. My husband and son were mesmerized. I’m not a real car person, but really enjoyed the beauty of the car designs.Written March 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bill SafanSan Francisco, CA25 contributionsNice quick stop to appreciate old architecture. Located in a bad area of LA though so be a bit more careful here, though parking is nearby so not too dangerousWritten January 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul SSan Diego, California540 contributionsThe towers are located in the Watts neighborhood on East 107th Street. There were a few parking spaces available on the street. The art center and the fenced area at the base were closed. However, you can view the towers and many of the framed doorways and details by walking around the base of the site. There are several information boards describing the site and creator/builder, Simon Rodia. The tallest tower is nearly 100’ high. Impressive work. It is worth a visit. Spent about 30 minutes at the towers.Written July 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WriterJaneNew York81 contributionsLet's start with the one big issue at Pierce Brothers: finding the entrance! It looks like a parking garage driveway, and the small sign on the street is very easy to miss. But once you're there, it's a surprising green oasis surrounded by high-rise buildings, a library, and a pocket park.
Many of the celebrity graves are on Google Maps. But be patient because the listings are not exact.
I also visited Hollywood Forever, and found Pierce Brothers far more manageable and respectful.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Faced with nothing to do until my flight the next morning, and with most outdoor options taken away by a driving (and rare) rainstorm, I looked online and saw that the nearby San Antonio Winery had an afternoon tour.
Upon arrival, I entered the beautiful & vast store/tasting room and registered for my tour. Not surprisingly given the weather, I was the only one on my particular tour itinerary. My tour guide was full of knowledge and extremely personable. He led me around the winery and gave me the fascinating history of the Riboli family who founded the facility, as well describing the breadth of wines they offer. The packaging line and vintage aging casks were particular treats.
Upon finishing the tour, my guide led me around the wine market and helped me pick out several Christmas wines to gift to friends and family. All were big hits.
While not among the most well-known SoCal attractions, I'd say it's among the best, and certainly worth a visit.Written February 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Rangers are currently turning a blind eye to this behavior, much like they have turned a blind eye to the maintenance of facilities and trails in recent years.
Please, do not hesitate to visit our beautiful State Park, and do not be intimidated by these people. It is your right to be there, and to park anywhere that is legal parking, including Entrada Rd. outside the park.
If you are approached by these people, please ignore them, and understand that they do not represent any legal entity, nor the people of Topanga Canyon, who very much welcome visitors. Also, please report any interactions with these people, or any issues you encounter in the park, to any and all of the departments below:

Dogs are generally not allowed in the park with the exception of Service Animals as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Interesting history. Great view of the bay also.
Parking available. Bring your camera. Enjoy the serenity.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Hollyhock House is part of Barnsdall Park, and we first visited during Covid when the house was shuttered but the park was still full of people and pets enjoying the outdoors. The self-guided tour of the house can take 15 minutes or an hour depending on how long you linger, the questions you ask the docents, and how many pictures you want to take. Parking is easy, right off Hollywood Blvd, along the service road, or around the back of the complex.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stkatravels132 contributionsNice, quick stop with great views of the Hollywood sign! Great place to stop for a photo. The road up is tight and winding.

- Professional-PilgrimQuebec, Canada1,348 contributionsWe went to see the exterior of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House (because we were not able to book a tour of the interior). We also visited the Municipal Gallery of Art, which was underwhelming. Lots of people were picnicking on the grass. Nice park.Written February 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jgm G13 contributionsSmall place but good for small kids to spend some time. Has a few interactive games and mostly learning displays. Kid was looking forward to Dino area but their was only one Dino display right outside. Kiddo enjoyed the hockey games, shopping cart game, rock climbing, pull lever, and legos area.Written November 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
