26 (51) Paramount Pictures
 Still
looking good under the famous Hollywood Sign Paramount runs wonderful
VIP tours that dish up nostalgia, a behind the scene look at scenes
and the potential for a stella experience. Bring your autograph
book with you.
The wrought-iron
double arch gate at Melrose & Windsor is a Hollywood wonder
in itself. Once through the Bronson Gate watch screenings in progress
within the only big-time motion picture studio in Tinseltown. The
Paramount VIP tour consists of relatively small groups, takes approximately
2-hours and runs four times a day from Monday to Friday excluding
holidays.

27 (10) Six
Flags Magic Mountain
Scary stuff,
at least for the adults. Take the ups, downs, twisting all round
experience of a roller coaster that seemingly defies the laws of
physics.
Magic Mountain
is more than your average play thing. Long queues testify to its
popularity and relatively young family unfriendliness.
Treat for
your teenager or the teenager deep in you. Ride across the park
on the metro or park train to improve the quality of your scary
experiences.

Mid to late
afternoon is good time to go during summer. You just might feel
the urge for a drink afterwards.

28 Norton
Simon Museum of Art
The surprisingly
unassuming Norton Simon Museum of Art possesses a fine collection
of sculptures and exquisite paintings. Arguable this is the best
gallery in Los Angeles. A visit is justified if only for an eyeful
of the ravishing Branchini Madonna. Contributors include Rembrandt,
Picasso, Rodin, Filippino Lippi, Botticelli, Belini and Cranach.

29 The Hollywood
and Highland Complex
The Hollywood
and Highland Complex is a five-floor open air retail and entertainment
complex that has brought back some of the glitz sorely missing over
recent years. With the staging of the Academy awards the complex
has received a spotlight which has made it a place to be. Be it
the grand staircase that takes you high enough for a panoramic view
of the Hollywood Sign or Complex's fine array of stores and restaurants,
the people come.
Kodak Theatre
The Kodak is
an impressive 3,332 seat theater located in the heart of the Hollywood
& Highland Center. After its opening in November 2001 it soon
became known to more than one billion people across the globe as
the first permanent home of the glamorous Academy Awards®. As
a first class live entertainment venue, Kodak Theatre has hosted
a wide range of prestigious artists and events including Celine
Dion, Prince, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, American Ballet Theatre
and various touring Broadway productions.
