Finally, the museum culminates in an exquisite gift shop with delicate origami, authentic Japanese teapots, and other great finds.

The La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum – This site is a must-see for your next Los Angeles vacation. Though it looks like something out of a sci-fi novel, this tar pit is completely authentic. It's been bubbling for more than 40,000 years and has given up some astonishing specimens of prehistoric life including mastodons, lizards, and ground sloths. You can see some of the creatures that have been retrieved from the pits in the adjacent museum. Also located near the tar pits is the Pleistocene Garden which represents prehistoric plant life native to the region approximately 10,000 to 40,000 years ago.

Los Angeles Zoo – If you're taking children on your Los Angeles vacation, the Los Angeles Zoo is a great inclusion for your itinerary. Exhibits include the Campo Gorilla Reserve, Elephants of Asia, Red Ape Rainforest, Dragons of Komodo, and Chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains. Children will be especially enthralled with the Winnick Family Children's Zoo where they can explore hands-on exhibits and enjoy storytelling and puppet shows.

Madame Tussauds Hollywood – This famous line of wax museums has locations all over the world. The 44,000-square-foot museum in Hollywood is the first to be constructed from scratch for the purpose of housing this museum. You'll see stunningly lifelike figures of celebrities from Barack Obama to Marilyn Monroe. Whether you have teens on your Los Angeles vacation who will swoon over the life size depiction of Zac Efron, or adults who will enjoy the classic western-clad John Wayne, you'll find that this museum has something for everyone.
