Top Parks in Los Angeles

My tip: Don't miss the Rose Garden, it’s usually quiet and a perfect spot for some great photos. Try to go in the early afternoon when the light is best

If you’re into the arcade games, make sure you get a reloadable game card. I wasted time fumbling with coins the first time around, and a card just makes everything smoother!

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 11 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the rides without long lines. Trust me, some rides can get pretty busy later on.

I think it’s smart to bring your own snacks and drinks to save money... Food inside the park can be a bit pricey, and while it's not bad, it's not exactly gourmet either

Check out the various food trucks parked around the area. They offer great local eats, and you'll save money compared to dining at nearby restaurants.

I recommend bringing plenty of water especially if you choose to hike the longer trails. It gets hot out there! Trust me I learned the hard way and had to turn back early because I ran out of water.

I suggest bringing a picnic! The views are stunning, and there are plenty of spots to chill. Plus, it saves you money compared to nearby cafes.

Parking can be tricky. I found a spot at the nearby neighborhood streets, but I suggest arriving by 10 AM if you want to avoid circling around the block.
