Interesting. The very little research I did made me think we need to stay in Hollywood, and the Loews hotel looked centrally located, that we could walk to a few tourist-y things. Thoughts on that? Is it a safe place?
I should have put in my original post that we're more interested in the kitschy side of LA attractions, we have zoos and aquariums near us here, we would definitely like to focus on the movie-making side of the tourism spectrum like the Chinese Theater, a studio tour, the Hollywood sign, etc.
Granted there are locations in places other than LA, but that part of Hollywood has Ripley's and a wax museum. It has not reopened yet, but The Hollywood Museum in the Max Factor building has lots of cool movie memorabilia in it. I also second the El Capitan. It's a beautiful restored old time "picture palace," there's an organist, and a lot of times there's some special element as part of the film. For example, I saw Frozen there and it opened with someone doing ice sculpting.
