I currently live in the LA Metro area and have lived here all my life so I have taken this area for granted. I will have some time off from work and to save money on airfare and hotel costs, I decided to explore LA and the surrounding areas from the tourist perspective as there is lots I have yet to see and do. Unfortunately, I find myself in a rut so I could use some tips on some things to see and do here in LA/OC besides the themed parks. Thanks!

Thank you I have only done a few of these places previously so those were good suggestions ... Especially the Getty Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits.

Make an appointment to visit the Getty Villa as well--the original home of the museum, in Malibu.

As an Inglewood native, I recommend this: Centinela Adobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As well as the other adobe museums scattered around the county.
