What to do and see in Burbank, California (CA): The Best Things to do

August 25, 2021 Mollie Coke

Burbank, which is home to Bob Hope Airport (formerly known as the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport), is close to Universal Studios, downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley and other popular L.A. destinations. Visitors to the city can take a backstage tour at NBC or Warner Bros. studios, shop and dine in charming downtown Burbank and attend an outdoor concert at the Starlight Bowl. Also of interest is the Gordon Howard Museum, a historical museum with aviation and vintage-car displays.

Gordon R. Howard Museum

Reviewed By 912samh

This place is great. Lots of interesting artifacts of American society from the early 1900's(and before). Also cool exhibits of the beginning of film production in Burbank and the history of animation and television(they have a jacket Johnny Carson wore on the tonight show). Plus some neat old cars that have been fully restored, clothes and furniture that are a 100 years old that are in great condition, an original statue from Bob's Big Boy, sections dedicated to the service of the Burbank fire department, police department and old military rifles. Upstairs they have an entire room full of really old pieces of pottery, pipes, musical instruments and more from around the world. Plus it's all free, the only downside I see is that they are only open on the weekends from 1pm to 4pm but it's definitely worth checking out. You could spend over an hour here and not fully be able to take in all they have to offer. Will be going back for sure. Docents and board members were very nice and more than willing to share stories and information about the exhibits. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
