Things To Do
Los Angeles is a culturally rich, vibrant, and fun city. We've listed below some of our favorite museums, restaurants, and natural settings to check out!
We live in South Pasadena and the places we've included are in the Pasadena, Mid-city, DTLA area. All areas that are more easily accessible. The West Side, where the beaches are, has lots to do, too, but it's about a 45-minute drive depending on the time of day.
Griffith Park Observatory
2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA 90027
You get commanding views of Los Angeles from the Observatory, and on a good day you can see all the way to the Pacific Ocean. There are also hiking trails at Griffith Park, and you can get a view of the iconic Hollywood sign.
Norton Simon Museum
411 West Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91105, (626) 449-6840
We've had many dates here. Fantastic breadth of art, including quite a few Degas sculptures, and a lovely outdoor sculpture garden. It's not far from South Pas.
The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens
1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108, (626) 405-2100
The Last Bookstore
453 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013, (213) 488-0599
We love this place. Huge and eccentric, includes a performance space and an upstairs "maze" of books. For any lit-lovers in the group.

This is where the ceremony will be. Lots to explore.
The Gamble House
4 Westmoreland Place, Pasadena, CA 91103, (626) 793-3334
For any fans of the Arts and Crafts movement -- or of beautiful house design in general -- this is a must-see.
For all the days along the way
