Hollywood Signage:

The tour should start with the colossal and iconic welcome sign of the Walk of Fame in Hollywood telling you that you have shown up in Hollywood! Its history dates back to the residential development of the hillside just outside Los Angeles named “Hollywood Land” in the mid-1900s, where the now-famous sign stands. The 1978 revamped signage was remade and renamed “Hollywood,” and its sheer size made it famous and the must-see that it is today! To see the sign, the weather needs to be clear, which can be very uncommon.

Universal Studios:

The Universal Studios star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame represents the world’s largest entertainer and laboratory, complete with a working studio, a theme park, and the UniversalCity Walk, where families can do different activities, eat together, shop, dine, or purchase souvenirs. The rides are constantly being improved to include popular television programs and movies as themes. In Harry Potter’s Wizarding World, children of all ages are transported to the otherworldly worlds of Diagon Back Street, Hogwarts, Muggles, and Hogsmeade.

La Brea Museum and Tar Pits:

Many eras and years ago, normal and sticky asphalt or tar tracked down underground animals, caught them, and frozen them into the most interesting fossils at the Hollywood Walk of Fame’s famed Hancock Park’s La Brea Tar Pits and the adjoining George C. Page Museum’s Pleistocene Garden, which features exhibits such as dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Nature’s bounty of fossils unearthed in excavation sites like the Saber-toothed or Smilodon Tiger, the Mammoth Elephant, and smaller animals like the bison, horse, condor, and such can keep you entertained as well as help you discover the past, tidbits of paleontology, and the regular curiosity of historians and discoverers of history and excavation sites.

Griffith Park:

The family that bonds over vacations in nature’s lap and walks of fame in Hollywood stays together! Go to Griffith Park’s 4,200 acres, which house the observatory and are famous for the Hollywood signage, which is a must at the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. The many species at the LA Zoo and its Greenhouse, the indirect wheel, the horse rides, and the mini train ride will undoubtedly be hits with the kids. They would also adore the scale models of miniatures at the Travel Town Museum and the Steamers Railroad Museum.
