Hollywood/UStudios

Famously made movies, rides

Parents/Kids/Friends

Annual Pass costs same as one day manytimes ($60 nearly). Buy on the internet.

Visiting once is good but too much of walk for parents in a day. Find a map and plan ahead so that you get time in between rides to sit and rest. I like Jurassic Park Ride, Mummy returns and Water world.

Walk of fame, Hollywood

It’s a street where there are “stars” engraved on the walkway. Each star is for each famous personality like Edison etc etc

Parents/Kids/Friends

No Cost.

You just walk on the street…it’s a long walk if you want to see every star.

Rodeo Drive, Hollywood

Again, this is a street where Rich shop.

Parents/Kids/Friends

No Cost.

Walk for around 15 mins. There is a shop called Bijan which is one of the world’s costliest shops and requires an appointment to shop.

Disney Land

Disney Land & California adventure park are part of Disney in Anaheim, Ca. Disney Themes & Rides mainly.

Kids & Kids. But who like Disney can go once. Costs a little high.

$76.00 for single day as far as I remember.

Takes one full day.

California Adventure Park

Rides

Friends

Takes one full day.

Knotts Berry Farm

Rides

Friends

$45 – Regular for one day. But you find coupons on the internet or entertainment books for $5- $24 off.

Not good idea for parents. Great fun with friends especially if they like rides. There are some crazy rides like Ghost, boomerang. Takes whole day.

Knotts Soak City

Water Rides

Friends

City Pass

Not an Attraction. Available in most city destinations. www.citypass.com

Parents/Kids/Friends

$185. Can sometimes find cheaper on internet and entertainment books.

This pass allows you to visit 4 places on one ticket. Beware, I guess its valid only for 14 days after first visit. Knotts Berry Farm, Disney Land, SeaWorld, San Deigo Zoo (or) San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Long Beach

Laguna Beach

Calm & private.

Brea Downtown

Pubs, restaurant, movie, open air activities.

Parents/Kids/Friends

No Cost

One of my favourite places for Friday night walks.

Malls

Ontorio Mills, Ontario – If you plan to buy, if you want to visit, go to Fashion Island, Newport Beach.

Las Vegas

Gambling, Casino Shows, Night Walk…

BIG NO for kids (My preference though).

Must visit once if you are in US. Friends – Great place.

Parents – Good. Stayed in Stratosphere for reasonable rates( avg. $60 per day). Can try Palace Heights & Tropicana. Hotel shouldn’t be too far from “Strip”, a place like downtown with all those casinos.
