Ideas for a Day Out in Los Angeles
- Annual Events: A month-by-month summary of the best goings-on around town.
- Christmas in Los Angeles: Boat parades, over-the-top light displays and celebrity parades.
- Disneyland at Christmas: The park gets more decked out every year.
- Disneyland at Halloween: Mickey puts on his Halloween costume and the whole park gets dressed up.
- Grunion Run: It happens every summer on the Los Angeles beaches.
- Horse Racing at Santa Anita: The sport of kings.
- Pageant of the Masters, Laguna Beach: It's as amazing as you may have heard. Buy tickets early. It sells out every year.
- Rose Parade Float Viewing: I think walking around the floats after the parade is more fun than watching them on the street.
Day Trips Out of Town
- Carlsbad Flower Fields: These showy flowers are called ranunculus and they're well worth a trip to see them.
- Elephant Seals at Piedras Blancas: The big marine mammals have chosen a spot near the highway, very convenient for watching the pups, mating and general mayhem. See them now in the photo gallery
