We are heading to LA for a few days before going to DLR. I had planned on having a rental car, and have another thread about that somewhere, but our plans have changed a little and I'm trying to work out the details.
We fly in to LAX, and are staying at the Magic Castle Hotel. I am fully aware that there is not much to do in Hollywood, but the kids want to go, and I think they will LOVE the hotel, and we have brunch reservations at the club, so that's set. We for sure want to go to Warner Brothers Studio, and the walk of fame/theater etc. We are still deciding what else we may or may not want to do.
I think we would like the La Brea Tar Pits, since DS really likes fossils and paleontology. We have a great natural history museum here with an awesome history of the Earth exhibit, so we have seen a lot of fossils, but this seems different and worthwhile since there are active dig sites.
DD wants to go to the American Girl Store, which we have 2 miles from our house but I think it would be fun to get a souvenir from a store in another city, so I thought maybe we could go to The Grove/Farmers Market.
So that's a long-winded intro.
How much time do we need for each of these things? And in case you skipped my intro (no judgment, it was long), how much time for:
Walk of Fame etc.
Warner Brothers VIP tour
Grove/Farmers Market (just going to American Girl and market, probably nothing else)
Brunch at Magic Castle
La Brea Tar Pits
If we do the WB tour through a tour company once we are in Anaheim, do we still need a car for the other activities in LA?
