There’s so much to do in Venice, it’s the kind of place where you’ll hop off your bike a lot. And it is really best visited by bike. I like to start by grabbing Gjelina’s takeout pizza, riding along Abbott Kinney and into the neighborhoods. Then I hop into beach path to people watch and see skaters shred the bowl. Wind down your biking day in Venice back at the beach. On weekend afternoon and evenings, you’ll hear drumming. Follow the sound, and at the end of Brooks Avenue, you’ll see dozens of strangers beating on drums, pots, pans, whatever—and dancing on the beach. It’s super communal, and anyone can join in.

The park's theme is the entertainment industry, in particular movies and television. Includes rides related to Harry Potter, Despicable Me, The Walking Dead, Jurassic Park, Simpsons and more. The best thing at the park in my opinion is the tram where you get to see movie lots where things were filmed.

On this four-mile hike by Pacific Palisades you're exposed to ocean, city, and canyon views—it's a three-in-one scenic treat. Take the Temescal Canyon Trail in Temescal Gateway park and you'll come to a bridge over a small seasonal waterfall. Then it takes you up into Topanga State Park to the Temescal Ridge Trail, which is where the big views are. There are a couple different trail combinations you can take so bring a map.

Along with an amazing hike, this park also has a ton of excellent street art. If you park near the entrance off North Fuller Ave. and start walking towards the trail, you’ll see an abundance of art on the ground, walls, and sidewalk. It’s a high-traffic area, so the art on display is always getting updated. Take the hour to trek to the top for breathtaking views. In my opinion, the best art in LA is the landscape of the city as seen from atop these hills.
