The Getty Center is not just a museum, but a viewing platform. Located on a hill in the suburbs, it has a very beautiful view overlooking the entire Los Angeles panoramic view. Up and down the mountain, all take the small train, the small train is about five minutes long, free. 🤭

It is worth playing, experienced a different feeling, the exhibition hall design is very good, each exhibition area has artistic conception. The science and technology museum next door must go, the same area needs to buy tickets, spaceships, aviation launch pads, scene exhibitions.

Convenient for self-driving, there are many parking spaces outside; there are not many people in the museum, the exhibits are rich, and there are many veterans who do duty interpreters to explain, very good attractions

[Fun] The child is on summer vacation, and he can't play games at home. It's inhumane to go to class and out of class. Then visit the Science and Technology Museum! This mixture of technology and power may be more suitable for boys! [Cost-effective] Good

Don't miss a beautiful outdoor pool here at the Getty Villa Museum, it's very beautiful. Outdoors and flowers become a beautiful landscape. It also reflects the wealth of the villa.

We were taking a carnival cruise port in LA. The Queen Mary was right next door. They JUST opened two months prior since COVID and were accepting guests. We had drinks at the bar, breakfast at the chowder hall and coffee on deck. the rooms were a bit dark without windows but the real deal and unique experience. Would def book there again!

It is a unique museum, full of outlandish things and unique artworks. Some interactive exhibitions are really interesting and it is very enjoyable to visit together by a group of people. There are also many photo opportunities. We enjoyed the tour with lots of photos taken inside. Some interactive activities made the experience more interesting. Just hope the airfare is cheaper. Can spend 2 hours here. One of the highlights of Hollywood.

This is a flight museum in Santa Monica, at 3100 Airport Avenue. The museum has a few small planes on board for photos. There are also some texts to introduce flight knowledge. But overall the museum is not rich enough, and the $10 ticket is not worth it.

This place was not quite the same as we expected. It wasn’t as interesting as we expected, maybe our expectations were too high. My husband was interested in music and that was why I decided to go to the Grammys museum, but this place disappointed us. The museum's most fascinating exhibition is the red jacket in Michael Jackson's "Trembling" Mv. But by the time we got there, most of the exhibition was over.
