Pacific Park is such an iconic Southern California gem…read more Located right on the Santa Monica Pier, the ocean views alone make it worth the visit. It's one of the very few amusement parks in California with free admission--you can stroll right in to soak up the atmosphere and just pay for individual rides or wristbands if you want to ride. ​Pro Tip: If you visit on your actual birthday, bring your ID to the ticket window! They'll give you a free ticket to ride any attraction of your choice, plus a super cute commemorative birthday button as a keepsake Such a fun, nostalgic spot to celebrate!

Maybe in the future they will get better but as of 7/12/26 it's a definitely don't visit. The vibe looked cool from outside and it's a walk up and order place but that was the last of it being a nice vibe. Lady who took my order made a mistake. I had told her know it was pizza margarita combo and not pizza soda. She then did pizza & soda combo with a margarita. It took 15 mins to get my pizza 25 mins to get my drink. I asked for on the rocks, she put blended. The bartender apologized for it being late and said it was because the manager didn't want to schedule anyone else. However, from my POV he was just chatting up other people and for got my order. So something is dysfunctional. He also forgot my soda. Then brought it. Forgot the straw. So when I finally had everything from my incorrect order, pizza was finished and I had two drinks to finish.

Updated in recent years to also incorporate workout equipment and a few more benches as well as places to sit as well as to make it more scenic. It stretches for almost 3 miles (2.8), though if you count the path added railed off path starting on Fair Avenue to Vineland (just across from NoHo Station) it's exactly 3 miles.

Lots of culture, history, and art on these streets. Love the painted stairs all around and the artwork for the local school and other various buildings. Nice to see hills and the palm trees lining them and the main road as well. Eclectic and "hipster-y" vibes and community, so you get lots of interesting community shops, businesses, and eateries, but also some really high end ones as well. I really liked the super friendly cats that came out to say hi and get some pets at a local hookah lounge and that the local school there has a community garden and chickens. Can't say it's a place I'd regularly seek out and visit, but nice to stop by here and there.

"I've been waiting…read more.. I've been waiting for this moment all my life..." Reflecting on the history of Silver Lake over the last several decades it's amazing to learn and have seen it evolve with time from days of activism in the 60s advocating for equality across the board to present with much more inclusivity. I was born in LA near LAX, but didn't truly start exploring this side of the bustling streets of Los Angeles until about 12 years ago and even in that short span. Neighborhoods have changed, new businesses have popped up and a few great long-standing ones shut their doors. If you're visiting or local walking around this little big neighborhood can be quite fun with a little of everything from cuisine to cocktails. Clothing to cars and even the occasional local events like Off Sunset recently-ish (usually early Springtime each year), a collection of vendors and businesses supporting each other as well as the city of Silver Lake... Open to all and for all much like the city itself!! Transportation of the public variety isn't too bad as local city orange Metro busses such as the 2 or 4 (which run frequently and connect to the Metro B Line aka the Red at Vermont /Santa Monica and/or Vermont/Sunset). Some streets and areas are inclined with certain residences (homes, apartments, condos, and so on) being oddly placed out of the natural foundation, but it's part of the charm much like the Micheltorena Stairs off Micheltorena Street & Sunset Blvd, which does have a metro stop of course. The education system is primarily preschool, elementary, and middle school within the area with a private school going up to 12th just beyond Los Feliz. LACC or Los Angeles City College isn't too far outside Silver Lake for high education, but I'm not sure of too many other trade, career, or college-level schooling facilities within close proximity, but we do have plenty beyond that. Silver Lake has one of the best Los Angeles Public Libraries out of any you might visit, plus it's near the Silver Lake Reservoir and other hidden gems. Some of my favorite haunts in this city are definitely Intelligentsia, Akbar, El Cid, 4100 Bar, My Vegan Gold, The Black Cat, yes... that Del Taco!, Big Mac Liquor, and the Eagle bar to name a few. The best thing/upside about Silverlake is that it's very all-inclusive and welcoming, but the down thing besides the parking is the cost of living. It's creative, artistic, and very trendy.

What a fun run!!! It was our second year participating and last year was a blast but there was some…read moreserious discrepancy in the results that altered my view on the race. I came in 4th in 2021 but the pictures of the bib numbers ranked above me were worn by male runners. I emailed the organizers as I believed I was 1st place and men shouldn't be running in female registrant bibs. I almost didn't run this race this year but it's local and convenient so I told myself it's just a fun run but hoped they'd exhibit more integrity with the results (even for a fun run). My son, best friend and I ran it and had a great time! I came in 1st in my age group this year which was very exciting considering how competitive my new age group was based on last years results. Let's just say, this year I didn't have to run super quick to secure it which is good since I rarely run nowadays- still living that 300mile a week cyclist life. My son came in 7th in his age group, which was clearly the most highly competitive group. I'm so proud of us! I loved the location for packet pick up this year. It was so convenient and organized. They gave away goodr sunglasses again which is always such a kind and generous gesture. The weather was perfect! The crowd is always great. This is a hometown valley race where you can really feel the energy of our local communities coming together on the best holiday of the year to all be active and healthy before we feast later in the day. The medals are always very cute. If you love running and want to toss a drumstick dash into your Thanksgiving Day tradition, this is thé perfect race for you. I'm not into the comparison game but if I was forced to do it, I'd say this race definitely beats out its other local Turkey Trot competitors based on location, price, giveaways, and really just overall in every aspect. Very grateful for the Drumstick Dash organizers and a cause that is extremely meaningful to someone who loves food as much as I do. Move your feet so others can eat! Every individual should have access to healthy, yummy, nutritious food all year round. Happy Holidays!

This is such a cute spot for a low cost birthday party! While we were only attendees recently at my…read moreson's classmate's party, I can't imagine booking one of the picnic areas for a party to be any more expensive than it is at a regular park ... but normal parks don't have a huge number of full sized trains laying around, a train museum, and a rideable train (only $2-3 per ticket) that goes around the whole place! If your kid is a train lover, this is a great FREE place to visit. I still can't believe it was free lol. There's a play place for kids inside the museum, but you have to provide your own train toy for the tracks there. There's a gift shop near the museum where you can buy those. We bought our son one of those that you pull backwards, then it goes fast in forward motion on its own. Totally worth the $12 price tag because he hasn't put it down since, and even sleeps with it lol. You can't get into any of the trains, BUT there is a black one under the awning where many of them are that you CAN go up into. The kids were obsessed. There's plenty of space on the property to setup a picnic for the day that doesn't involve having to rent one of the covered spots. We were there for 3-4 hours walking around the grounds with the kids - a huge group of 3-7 year olds - and none of them got bored.

My family and I have been coming to Travel Town for many years…read more After entering travel town and walking past the many old steam engines that display there is a ticket booth and entrance to the miniature railroad. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for children, the same as the Griffith railroad on the other side of park. The ride is a brisk 12 minutes or so and takes you around travel town with two laps across that time. The whole breadth of travel town is available to be seen, including the many steam engines, miniatures, gift shop, and more. The train you ride itself is comfortable, covered, clean and well maintained. They make an excellent ride for a family. Our kids loved it! As with Travel town's sister railroad on the other side of the park, I recommend sitting near the back of the train to avoid the exhaust smell. The staff are very friendly and clearly love their jobs - I don't blame them! The rest of travel town is otherwise quite limited. Aside from a large number of locomotives, and nice areas for picnic, the museum and other sites are fairly limited. You come to travel town to see the big locomotives and ride the miniature train - that's about it. A playground would go a long way! Thankfully, admission is free and parking is plentiful. You need not budget more than two hours for your visit unless you are a true train aficionado. Nonetheless, Travel Town is an excellent, worthwhile stop for families and especially those with children 8 and under.
