Originally known as MGM Studios, and home to some of our favorite childhood classics like The Wizard of Oz and Singin’ in the Rain, Sony Pictures Studios is a time capsule of pop culture trivia. A tour around the lot will take you to iconic spots like the Ghostbusters mobile, or an actual yellow brick from THE iconic road. Pass by the Judy Garland Building, or by the Happy Madison production office where if you’re lucky, you’ll catch Adam Sandler hanging outside. The tour guide will amaze you with endless movie and studio fun facts, showing you which legendary movies were shot behind each set of elephant doors (the name for big sliding studio doors.) Other popular shows like Shark Tank, Wheel of Fortune, and Insecure share their writing and production with the lot. While eating lunch at the commissary, or picking up a coffee at the cafe on-site, the chances of spotting a celebrity are high! 

 Tickets start at $50, with VIP Lunch tour upgrades available. Get your tickets online now!

Just a 15-minute bike ride down the popular and beautiful Santa Monica Bike Path, you’ll come across Venice Beach, with more culture waiting to unfold before you. By the time the fitness movement in California took off in 1989, just two blocks north of Venice Boulevard erupted Muscle Beach Venice, where beachgoers could focus more on the barbell, bodybuilding, and weightlifting. Celebrities like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger have trained in the weight pen, amping the park’s popularity. 

Aside from the fitness parks, those who choose an edgier form of burning calories make their way to the trendy Venice Beach Skate Park, located conveniently on the Ocean Front Walk area. Known as the birthplace of modern skateboarding, the city of Venice finally built the park in 2009, bringing this community together and creating a buzzing hub for tourists. Aside from skateboarders, you’ll also see lots of roller skaters grooving to their music, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a choreographed dance on wheels!

Since 2012, Dogtown Coffee has been a sort of shrine to Southern California skateboarding history. Skateboarding had taken a backseat to surfing locally until the Zephyr Team began winning competitions with a dynamic, surf-oriented style, taking the sport in a whole new direction. 

When the former Jeff Ho Surfboards and Zephyr Productions Skateboard shop (1971) was about to be torn down to make way for condominiums, the city of Santa Monica gave the building landmark status, thus protecting it from demolition. The shop honors the sport’s legacy with photos, murals and original Zephyr boards, which hang suspended from the ceiling. 

Before You Go:

On the menu: Everything from familiar espresso drinks to creations like a cappuccino enhanced with chaga mushrooms and monk fruit. Locals rave over the breakfast burritos.

Along with the Museum of Flying, the Santa Monica Airport offers two parks- one is a highly rated off leash dog park, restaurants, event spaces, a flying school and a campus of Santa Monica City College. It’s a unique spot for an afternoon of exploration. 

At four acre Airport Park you can exercise at the “pedestrian runway,” a two-way multi-purpose track with distances marked by graphics just like the ones painted for airplane traffic on a tarmac. The runway is surrounded by a network of fitness options, from ping pong tables to slacklines- even a communal yoga mat. 

The Museum of Flying celebrates the elegance and romance of the golden age of air travel, and over the years has been host to events and exhibitions including a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, aviation pioneers and the original Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts. 

Not far from the airport, revisit gentler times at beautiful Douglas Park, named for aviation pioneer Donald Douglas, who opened his factory and airfield on the site of a former movie studio in 1922. His test pilots had to steer away from a line of eucalyptus trees along Wilshire, and bigger planes were wheeled through the streets of Santa Monica to Clover Field. In 1927 the factory relocated to Clover Field (now known as the Santa Monica Airport) 

Since 1949, Douglas Park has been home to a clubhouse and lawn bowling green (similar to Italian bocce) and, and is still used for the game. The park, with its three historic ponds connected by streams, was restored in the early 2000s.

The festivities kick off on Saturday, June 24th, with a range of events including competitions, interactive games and youth activities. On the pier deck, you can sway to the rhythm of hula dancing, indulge in the beer and spirits garden, and groove to live music. There will even be a “Museum of Beach Life”, where you can immerse yourself in the rich heritage of lifeguarding, paddleboarding, surfing, and skateboarding around the Santa Monica Pier.

A highlight of the festivities is the first-ever Sandcastle Competition. On Sunday, June 25th, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the beach will transform into a hub of creativity as locals and visitors come together to build awe-inspiring sandcastles. Grab your shovels and buckets and let your imagination run wild!

Walking on the sand provides more of a workout than you might think. It can help activate dormant muscles and utilize the tendons that have been cruising you through life. Each step on the sand uses 2.1 to 2.7 times more energy than walking on a hard surface. Plus, the environment is so relaxing that you will likely go further and for longer than you realize.

So, why not open your mind and connect with Mother Nature while breaking a sweat? Depending on the time of day, you will also be absorbing Vitamin D from the sun rays.

No matter how you’re planning to celebrate, we wish you and your family all the best with a great start to this year's holiday season!

It’s important to remember that the waters of Santa Monica can sometimes be crowded with surfers, so hitting the waves earlier in the day or during the week can guarantee you some more open water. Additionally, before setting off for a day of surfing, it’s always a good idea to go online and check the surfing conditions in Los Angeles. The ocean swell, tides, and the wind are all factors that affect the water’s surfing conditions. Also, the waters of Santa Monica Bay tend to be on the chillier side, so we recommend wearing a wetsuit to keep warm in the water.

Although the year of the rat may sound a little less desirable than some of the other animals, it is actually an omen of surplus and wealth!

Formerly located in Lake Balboa, Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will soon be opening at a new destination within the area. Since all guests watch a movie from the privacy of their cars with audio broadcasted on the radio, social distancing protocol is built-in as part of this retro nighttime activity. Plus, there’s a nostalgic charm to watching a motion picture beneath the stars from the safety of your vehicle.

While the first drive-in movie theatre was opened in 1915, outdoor drive-in theatres peaked in popularity during the 1950s and early 1960s. It’s only natural, then, that San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will be showing a stellar selection of classic films this month, including The Sandlot, Grease, and Jurassic Park. At its new location in Westfield Fashion Square - about 20 minutes from Ocean View - the San Fernando Valley Drive-In Theatre will be showing each movie at 8:30 pm, beginning on Thursday, August 13th.

The first version of the Hollywood Sign was built in 1923 to advertise a residential development within the Hollywood Hills. This community was called “Hollywoodland”, which is what the original sign read. During the 1940s, the sign had begun to deteriorate, and the letter “H” was destroyed. However, in 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce became owners of the sign and took over responsibility for its maintenance. The sign was then shortened to simply “Hollywood” to reference the city below. In 1973, it was officially declared a Historical Landmark by LA’s Cultural Heritage Board. To this day, the legendary marker can be spotted throughout the City of Angels.
