Highly recommend a visit to the Broad. Weekend parking was easy--there's a flat $10 fee at the…read moreMusic Center garage directly across from the museum, which was a pleasant surprise after trying the Broads garage which was full. We came specifically for Yoko Ono's exhibit and really enjoyed it. I love how interactive her work is. Art is so much about intention and narrative, and you can feel her lifelong dedication to peace and thoughtful reflection on society throughout the exhibit. The Broad's permanent collection is excellent, and the space itself is open, airy, and very cool. General admission is free (you have to sign up for time slot entrance), but we paid $21 per person for the Yoko Ono exhibit. Once you're in for the special exhibit, you also have access to the museum's general collection on the third floor. Overall, it's a fantastic museum and well worth a visit, whether you're coming for a special exhibition or just to enjoy the Broad's impressive collection.

I was upset when Eli Broad decided not to donate his artwork to LACMA for the BCAM building…read more However, his branching out on his own to build The Broad and make it FREE has made up for it. The artwork that I remember from the BCAM is now here, along with other pieces from the vast Broad collection. You can book free tickets online ahead of time, though there is an additional charge for special exhibits, like the current Yoko Ono one. There are free Thursdays which give you entry to the special exhibits gratis, but you must book those tickets ahead of time. The staff are very friendly and handle the lines professionally. The architecture of the building is very interesting, with a dramatic escalator entry to the second floor to see the collection. You can see artwork from Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Ed Ruscha, Kara Walker and so much more. We rode the Metro here and were able to avoid the expensive parking. Bonus!

Needed a last minute outing to keep the kids busy so naturally, I googled my options. This…read morelocation was pretty convenient so off we went. Tickets were pretty easy to purchase online. I thought it was a timed entry but it is not...or it wasn't when we went. I followed the parking sign on the wall which led me to a lot just a little north of the museum. It was $20 to park there. Had I had more time to plan, I may have parked somewhere else as I felt that was a bit steep. I'm assuming metered parking would be hard to find in that location as it is in the heart of Hollywood. I thought it would be similar to the Museum of Illusions in New York, but rather than a museum feel, this was purely just photo ops. You can rent tripods at the front for $10. They also provide free lockers for your bags and stuff- which I would highly recommend. I didn't take up the offer in the beginning but soon realized that was a better option. I would also like to highly recommend and thank Tim! He showed us the ropes of how to take photos and he took some photos for us. He was friendly, professional and patient with my two young kids. He definitely knows his way around an iPhone camera and showed me some tricks I didn't even know. Tim's photos came out a lot better than mine as you need to find the perfect angle for the pictures to have that illusion effect. The tickets I purchased online also allowed us to go to the giant house next door and the upside down house. Tim came to the rescue again and took some amazing photos for us in the upside down house. It was a fun experience for all of us and I would definitely recommend visiting this location. If you see Tim, ask him for some pointers! Thank you, Tim!

I recently visited the Museum of Illusions and had mixed feelings about the experience. It was fun…read moreoverall, especially if you enjoy taking pictures. There are several photo-friendly illusion setups that make for some cool and creative shots. We bought the bundle deal and also visited the Upside Down House and the Giant House. While those were interesting to see, there still wasn't much to do at either location besides taking pictures. One thing I really appreciated was the front cashier--He was very nice and welcoming, which made the check-in experience pleasant. However, I don't think the visit was quite worth the price. It felt a bit too expensive for what it offers, especially considering the bundle included all three exhibits. The experiences are fun for photos, but they're fairly short and limited in activities. For the amount you pay, it would be nice if there were more interactive things to do or more areas to explore. Overall, it's a good spot if you're really into taking fun illusion photos, but if you're expecting a longer or more activity-filled experience, it may feel a bit overpriced.

The event itself…read morewas so much fun, but it also reminded me why LACMA is one of my favorite museums in Los Angeles. The museum is massive, with incredible exhibitions that make every visit feel different. I also had the chance to explore their newly opened area, which was absolutely stunning and added even more to the experience. From the architecture and beautifully designed spaces to the world-class art collections, everything about LACMA feels inspiring. Whether you're a local or visiting Los Angeles, this is a place that is 100% worth experiencing at least once. I always leave feeling inspired, and yesterday's Block Party made the visit even more special. Can't wait to come back!

I went back here for the parade because apparently, June 20, 2026 was the grand opening for the new…read moreDavid Geffen Galleries, which makes the opening I went to in May a soft opening? Anyway, the parade was fun because we could hear people cheering at the end of the street which built up the anticipation of what we'd see next. It reminded me of the Doodah Parade in Pasadena because the props and costumes were clearly handmade. Since the route wasn't long, they went in an oval, so if you missed something the first time, you'd see it again when they came back the other way. I enjoyed the festival feel of it all, especially since there were also a bunch of food vendors to choose from. I got there right when they opened at 10am, so I had no problems getting what I wanted, but towards the end of the parade which started at 6pm, vendors had started selling out of food which was a real problem since people wanted to eat during and after the parade. I even tried the onsite Erewhon Cafe, but they also turned me away and said they were closed. At least they gave out free Popsicles around noon even though there was a long line, but at least it went fast. I had also wanted to try the free crafts, but was told they were just for kids. Since when did making art have an age limit? I'm sure it had something to do with the budget for supplies. You could get into the 3 museum buildings for free if you made a reservation ahead of time. Since I had been there just the past month, I only went in to see the new Chinese dresses exhibit. Since parking was still $23 and I had so many hours to kill before the parade, I ended up walking to the nearby Peterson Museum to at least see the few cars on display for free in their parking garage, then walked 20 mins. up Fairfax to The Grove to kill time there and watch a movie. Apparently, other people did the same since I saw a lot of people with LACMA stickers also on their shirts walking to and from The Grove. Again like in my first visit, the security at LACMA needs to learn a thing or two about treating guests decently. This time around I saw an older woman get on a low stepped wall by the lampposts display to take a video. Following her lead, I also went up, but was immediately yelled at by security. So he yells at me, but not at her? Also, he could've just as easily walked up to me and said in a normal voice that getting on there wasn't allowed. Instead, he chose to make a scene to make an example out of me. I know it's his job, but that doesn't excuse being a jerk. There are ways of getting your point across and still being polite. Anyway, I know that there's a new theater being built at the museum at the end of the year, so depending on what the shows are, I might end up here again.

It was so cool so much opportunities for photos and a lot of things to do with your kids and they seem super entertained. I think we went in and it took probably a good hour or so to see everything and do everything so if you were ever in the area, then totally check it out just kidding. The exhibit was closed now LOL
