LEGOLAND IN SAN DIEGO! http://www.legoland.com/

2 hour drive on the 5 south,


Knotts, Irvine Spectrum center IMAX! and Mall, Newport Beach, City of Industry has movies, Speed Zone, Mall..

 

All the above spots are pretty awesome. I've always wondered though, if you come from Europe, does LA look crappy compared to what you guys have? I mean just look at Prague, Paris, etc. etc. and we have nothing like that here... man I want to go to Europe!

As far as LA goes, I would highly recommend scattering your trip around since LA is hugenormous. I broke down places to see/stuff to do below:

Places & Things to Do:

Hey bro, could you please be a little more specific What is there to do?





j/k good job

 

Pffff so I have no life ...

For some reason I got super excited over this topic and then went on a detailed rampage. Viola work just got that much shorter. Gerry's Grill FTW!

 

haha hey my boys freaked out they had so much fun!

 

I've lived here my whole life, and after your list I feel like I need to visit SoCal too!!

 

There's Orange County Fair around the summer.

 

True...if you want potholes, never ending traffic, and no sight of the sky, then go for NY,

BUTTTTT if you want, open roads, Mickey Mouse, and a smog filled atmosphere, LA is yo place


Go drive down Rodeo Dr. I always take guests from India and everywher there...Beverly Hills. Go check out the hotel where they filmed Pretty Woman,
Capitol Records, Mann's chinese theater, the hand prints, Kodak Theater....OMG So much to do!!!

 

Ohhh and while you are in Beverly Hills, I GUARENTEE, you'll see at least one F430, at least one Gallardo (maybe a Murcielago), about 2-3 Bentley Continentals (doesn't matter the type GT, GTC, FLying Spur), about 3409583495830495 Range Rovers, and a double-R Phantom. Buttttt if you wanna see a real car, hit up DBae cuz apparently, his RPi monster is faster than any of those

 

Excuse me sir but thats " Marine Layer"
