Seeking advice about a family trip to LA. (June/July)
Posted on 5/14/20 at 3:15 pm

Before the “go somewhere else“ comments, we are taking the kids to universal studios so LA it is.
My wife is pregnant so we aren’t looking for the nightlife.
What are some must see/must do things while in LA? Best beaches in the area? Local foods etc.
I’ve been but it was at a different stage in my life with different interests. Looking for a family atmosphere, not a bachelor’s.
It can be dumb stereotypical things like a Hollywood sign view or other dumb shite like that.
Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

If you can get the kids a sitter at some point there are (obviously) a lot of comedy shows worth catching. We saw Nick Kroll and Friends and it was awesome.
FWIW I hated LA. Plan on trying to do as much as possible in a concentrated area because if you try to go all over the city you'll just spend your entire day in traffic.
Skip the area of Hollywood where the Chinese Theater is. Holy hell what a shithole that area is.
Oh, and since this will inevitably be brought up at some point, let me be the first to say that In N Out is dogshit.

L.A. will not be open for business anytime soon.

Its all based around universal studios. If they don’t open we don’t go. No big deal. We’re in salt lake for the summer so there’s shite to do here if that falls short. Their tickets go on sale in June unless the covid-19 delays which is why I said June/July.

Buy the Family Truckster drive over in.

Thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve paid too much attention to the site.

L.A. kinda sucks, but with kids, the touristy stuff could be some cheesy fun. Hollywood Walk of Fame, catch a star tour, walk along the boardwalk at Venice Beach, go shopping with the Mrs. on Rodeo Drive, Universal Studios backlot tour, take a hike up to the Observatory, Labrea Tar Pits, watch a taping of your favorite late night show or game show, catch a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, see a Dodgers game, etc.
With that said, this wholesome family vacation ain't happening any time soon.

In N out is absolute trash. Agreed. King taco was nice last time out, though.

I’m a day’s drive from there. Wasn’t planning on flying. If universal isn’t open by then, no big deal.

Go get a Pinks hot dog.

Griffith Observatory is really cool. There are planetarium shows that the kids might like as well as some hiking there. Drive up the coast to and past Malibu and wade/swim there have lunch somewhere. LaBrea Tar pits are interesting. The Warner Bros studio tour is a lot of fun, but that might depend on the ages of your kids. I agree on Hollywood. Do not waste your time or money in that area. Same stuff as the tourist traps by the Alamo, in Times Square, etc. Maybe look at Santa Monica and the pier there. Rose Bowl flea market is cool. However, there is a good chance not much of this will be open. Also, really look at the driving distances and times when you are doing things. LA traffic is no joke!
