The Natural History Museum’s historic diorama halls are the largest exhibitions at the museum, showcasing over 75 incredibly detailed habitats ranging from arctic tundra to tropical rainforest. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the dioramas, NHM is restoring and reopening a diorama hall that has been closed for decades. There, visitors will experience immersive new installations — by artists RFX1 (Jason Chang), Joel Fernando and Yesenia Prieto (working as a three-artist team), as well as Saul Becker and Lauren Schoth — that call attention to dioramas as a unique combination of art and science and explore biodiversity, ecology, conservation, colonialism, and changing museum display techniques. NHM maintains an active diorama program where staff continue to update and build dioramas, keeping this art form alive. Visitors can examine these illusions of wilderness through a series of displays, engaging programs, and a new book that sheds light on the previously untold history of NHM’s dioramas.

Don&#39;t miss the beautiful outdoor pool at the Getty Villa Museum. It is very beautiful. It forms a beautiful landscape with flowers and plants outdoors. This also reflects the richness of the villa.

My mom, youngest brother Luke &amp; I went here for the first time Summer of 2012 to celebrate my 8th grade graduation. I discovered this park because I grew up going to Six Flags St. Louis with my parents, friends, &amp; Luke as my home park frequently since I was about 8 years old &amp; became more of a thrill seeker first with SFSTL, then Six Flags Great America, and I  used to go on the Six Flags website because I was curious about seeing parks in other states &amp; seeing what kind of rides the other parks had to offer &amp; discovered Six Flags Magic Moutain as I was browsing &amp; thought this park looked like so much fun, which it really was! My mom took my youngest brother Luke to meet the Looney Tunes characters &amp; Hurricane Harbor waterpark since he wasn&#39;t tall enough yet to go on the major thrill rides while I went on lots of amazing rollerocasters with Val, someone who used to babysit for us whenever she was able to. We stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn right across the street from the park, took a picture of X2 which could be seen from our hotel, palm trees in the parking lot, &amp; our elevator had Looney Tunes characters on it which made the Hilton Garden Inn Unique! My dad was also excited for us because Six Flags Magic Mountain is the park featured in his favorite movie, National Lampoon&#39;s Vacation &amp; is only about an hour and 40 minutes from Santa Monica beach! Six Flags Magic Mountain is located in Valencia, California.

The first thing you see is Japanese-style buildings and a lot of Japanese comics clothing stores. For me, I just strolled around and took in the scenery. If you want to park, the cheapest parking is on the roadside at S Central Ave. It&#39;s $5/h.

Best Things to Do

Since it&#39;s not the busiest Universal Studios, there weren&#39;t as many people. There were lines, but they weren&#39;t long. We only had a one-day itinerary and didn&#39;t have express passes, but that wasn&#39;t a problem. We enjoyed the Jurassic Dive and the Simpsons rides, the kid-friendly attractions, but everything else was great. You had to make a reservation for dine-in at the Mario restaurant early in the morning, otherwise you&#39;d have to eat out. We also enjoyed the Mario rides, but the Transformers, The Mummy, and the lands were good. The Harry Potter storytelling had some issues, but the ride itself was okay. The Minions were also quite fun, but that was all.

After the park closes, you can find a restaurant on the adjacent Citywalk for dinner. With plenty of activities, the day ended perfectly.

Griffith Park: Wilderness and Stars on the Top of Los Angeles

Griffith Park is no fine garden, but a rugged and charming oasis in Los Angeles. As one of the largest urban parks in North America, it is definitely worth a special visit, especially for travelers who want to embrace the majestic nature and urban legends at the same time.

The undisputed centerpiece is the Griffith Observatory, which stands on the top of the mountain. It is an architectural masterpiece in itself, and it also has a &quot;God&#39;s eye view&quot; overlooking Los Angeles. During the day, the Hollywood sign is clearly visible on the hillside in the distance, and the city skyline spreads out at your feet; but at dusk is the real magic moment, when the setting sun melts into gold and the city lights gradually light up until they merge into a dazzling starry sky. Inside the observatory, Foucault&#39;s pendulum swings leisurely and the dome screen presents cosmic wonders, where science and romance blend together.

The vast hinterland of the park is a paradise for hikers and explorers. From easy family-friendly trails to challenging mountain routes (such as the steep trail leading to the Hollywood sign), there are many options. Walk through the dusty California oak forests and cactus bushes, encounter deer or coyotes, and feel the wilderness. The abandoned zoo area is a mysterious and desolate place, which is an alternative check-in point. The Greek Theater is hidden deep in the valley and holds concerts in certain seasons. Listening to the sounds of nature under the stars is an unforgettable experience.

Real challenges to note: Parking in the observatory area is extremely difficult due to the constant crowds (it is strongly recommended to use the DASH Observatory Shuttle or online taxi); the facilities inside the park are relatively primitive, some trails lack shade and the signs are not clear enough, so you need to plan your route in advance and prepare enough drinking water.

In short, the charm of Griffith Park lies in its primitive and simple wildness and unparalleled vision. Touch the stars in the observatory, feel the mountain breeze on the trail, and listen to the echo in the Greek Theater, and you will understand why it is not only a landmark of Los Angeles, but also a spiritual home for citizens-an extraordinary bridge connecting the bustling city with the quiet wilderness, the real earth and the vast universe.

We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.
