The most unique and surprising museum in Culver City. The exhibits portray themes related to topics that you'd not see elsewhere. The Cold War display is interesting as are the posters. The changing exhibits are topical and best understood with a docent. Great and easy parking. Lots of information online.

The children had a great time, the staff was friendly and informative. The group was large so the staff decided into two groups. The first group went to see the different rescued animals and learned alot about endangered animals, the environment and things we all can do to protect the animals and our environment the other half got to learn more about specific animals and had the opportunity to touch them. They got to touch a monitor lizard, they got to touch a tortoise, and they got to touch a tarantula foot a low one, rather than a high five. All on all a very good time was had by all.

Another great hiking trail and scenic lookout place in LA. During the pandemic, many people in LA come here to hike up to the hill top to have a panoramic view of downtown LA, Hollywood hill, the San Gabriel mountain and the Pacific Ocean. The hike is suitable for everyone. For the ones who want to have a good exercise, they can park their cars on the street and hike up 282 steep steps to a switchbacks where they can take a break and then hike another 300 feet to the top of the hill. For those who just want to get to the view, they can drive all the way to the parking area near the top and then take a 10 minutes walk to the overlook on top of the hill. The view here is breathtaking. On a clear day, you can vividly see the spectacular downtown LA skyline against the dramatic mountain backdrop. Many people also take advantage of the clean air and open spaces here on the top of the hill and do their morning exercise here. Especially during the pandemic many people come here to workout instead of the gym.

This is an old Skouras movie house, converted into a fairly intimate stage theater, now park of the Center Theatre Group. Comfortable seating in a raked house with clear sightlines and excellent lighting and sound. Saw a very fine production of the premiere of Paul Rudnick's new play BIG TIME with a superb cast. A really fine evening of Theatre.

I'll never work out what was real, what is myth and what was totally made up just to see what they could get away with! And the wonderful thing is I don't care. It's fun, well presented and guaranteed you'll not see similar items anywhere else. Loved the micro mosaics and the tribute to space dogs. "3D X-rays" were also great.

Had not been to this mall in years and didn’t know it was no longer called Fox Hills Mall or that all the new stores had been added, so can imagine my surprise. Whoever came up with the redesign did a fantastic job. This was a dying mall in a decent neighborhood but, for some reason, attracted a somewhat seedy crowd. Now, it hums on Weekends with a full parking lot and ordinary shoppers just looking for some great bargains. In addition to Macy’s, which has been renovated and has upgraded its merchandise mix, the mall now has a Nordstrom Rack, Best Buy and Target. It even has a nice food court, although it’s the standard fast food vendors found at most malls, and a children’s play court to keep the kids entertained. I feel good about saying it’s a good place to shop based on my experience and would go again.
