Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

1. The Banning Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 20 reviews
Just a few miles from the LA Waterfront, the beautiful Banning Mansion is a City, State and National Historic Landmark. The gracious, stately Victorian residence and surrounding grounds beckon visitors to experience life as it was in the mid-to late-nineteenth-century Los Angeles and meet one of the area's most influential and visionary residents of the time, General Phineas Banning. The Banning Residence has lovingly been maintained and restored and is today considered the finest existing example of residential Greek Revival architecture in Southern California. The Banning property also includes the Howard Rose Garden, a sanctuary of modern day roses as well as antique varietals that would have been grown in Banning's day.

Just visited the Banning Museum to experience it beautiful 100 year old blooming Wisteria and garden and wasn't disappointed. If you love gardening you will enjoy the lovely Howard Rose Garden. The garden has both modern and antique roses popular the in Victorian times. Wish I could have submitted some photos from it. As they say a picture is worth a thousands words. The museum is closed for now because of the virus crisis. But you need to but it on your bucket list to visit in the near future.

I was really blown away by this little park. It's a short distance from the Korean, American Friendship bell. You can see the park in under an hour. The ocean vistas are amazing. I would like to see a sunset here. There are high cliffs that give you great shoreline views and you can see large ships entering and leaving the harbor in San Pedro. I would imagine at the right times there are whales and porpoises visible from the heights. There is a beautiful old lighthouse on the point. There is free parking, Places to picnic and rest rooms available. This is well worth a stop if you are in San Pedro.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Lane Victory about 2002, when my Grandfather Bob was still around and a dedicated volunteer (Engine Room, Oiler). We put on boiler suits and did some painting :) He sat on a similar ship loaded with artillery shells during the Battle of Leyte, PI and they watched the Kamakaze planes crash into other ships feeling fear, sorrow and desperately hoping they wouldn't be next. Visiting the Lane will bring the living conditions, the technology--and the fear--that our brave WW2 generation lived with while serving their country. I have my Grandfather's WW2 Merchant Marine Victory Medal, his Wartime Shipping Administration Transit Slips for a dozen round the world voyages and his US Coast Guard Certificates. I value these so much. But I tell you, I would gladly throw it all into the sea and never look back for just one more chance to walk with him aboard the Lane Victory. Next time I get to the west coast I will take my children and tell them about thier brave grandfather and his comrades. I highly recommend you read a little bit on this and bring YOUR children to the Lane Victory before these things fade into our history forever.
