Fall Head-First In Love With Fall in LA

Before the Christmas trees light up, and before residents have to, once again, wrestle with vehicles and human traffic at their favorite retail outlets, tourist attractions and parks, get ready to bask in the wonderful glory of LA's best indoor and outdoor events. Unlike other more seasonal cities, temperature drops must a little and the beaches transform into a more welcoming respite. It's the epilogue to a much cooler winter.

The truth of the matter is it's not always about the beaches, as beautiful as they are. The season brings in moments of deep appreciation for fall colors, family gatherings, celebrations, months of amazing food, drink, and cultural events. Days fall into hours of sun-kissed moments of joy you spend with the people you love.

Here is a short list of things to do when you're in the City of Angels.
 

Free Movie Screenings To Catch

After a hard day's work, some couples or groups would make their ways to alfresco movie-screenings offered at top rooftop bars around LA. They screen everything from classics like Back to the Future to exciting hits like Life Itself. Some of these movie screenings start their run as early as spring and it is still chugging along, especially at sites like Montalban and LEVEL, both of which are popular rooftop bars.

They're comfy, offer a never-ending flow of food and booze, have nice selections of movies to choose from, and provide amazing spots for friends to gather around to unwind. Get there early if having an almost-panoramic view of LA is significant to the whole experience. They provide everything from tables to lawn chairs, headphones to blankets. At LEVEL, there's even a pool, outdoor space with chic couches and BBQ pits.

Even without the cinema feature, we're pretty sure you'll enjoy the outdoor atmosphere, bucolic setting, amazing craft drinks and International selection of wine. For a quiet night-out with your close friends, a movie night at ArcLight Cinema can't go wrong.

Perfect Free Things in Los Angeles to do for People on a Budget

I know we’ve heard it a lot, that visiting the City of Angels is an expensive affair. We think of the price of a cocktail, an Uber ride, a trip to an art gallery, or a visit to a theme park with the family. The price of everything, basically.

With that said, it bears mention that whatever the "city of Hollywood stars" take, they give back in free stuff for ordinary folks and tourists. Apart from boasting of countless taco trucks, miles upon miles of white, sandy beaches, an endless coastline and scenic byways, the city of celebrity has much to give even when you’re watching your wallet. The fine diners and star-studded bars may be enticing, LA has bargain buys, cheap eats, affordable budget hotels, reasonable charter bus rides, gratis yoga classes, free admissions into museums, and budget-friendly events. Not everyone’s living the life of Riley.

Although many magazines would point you toward celebrity-worthy bars, gyms, and restaurants, often, if you looked hard enough, affordable alternatives could be right under your nose. Going on the cheap could also involve some investigative work. With the help of the internet and guide of locals, you'll find budget-friendly options just a little off the common radar in no time. Beaches like El Matador State Beach, Zuma Beach, Leo Carrillo State Park, El Porto Beach and Abalone Cove Ecological Reserve are all free. Getty Center, The Broad, LACMA, Annenberg Space for Photography, Huntington Library, Art Collections & Botanical Garden, and MOCA Grand Avenue are amazing places to pop by for a full free day of activities. You can also sign up for donation-based yoga classes, hike up Griffith Park, take pictures of toned abs and muscled bodies of LA locals at Runyon Canyon, or enjoy free live entertainment at a local club or bar like Bootleg or Satellite.
 
The following list will get you started on your quest for budget travel around Los Angeles. 

Santa Monica Beach and Pier

200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401
www.santamonicapier.org
www.santamonica.com
(800) 544-5319
Most of the beach areas appear like scenes out of a Hollywood movie (“Baywatch” to be more precise), with people on skateboards, sunbathing, picnicking, smashing a volleyball around a sandy beach, and groups of happy people lounging around in a cafe. The 3-mile worth of shoreline at Santa Monica beach and pier is renowned for its cotton-soft sand, an abundance of restaurants and a nice selection of night spots to pop up. With the year-round amazing weather, it’s no wonder the people of LA have a deep attachment to their coastlines.

It has, after all, over 420 public beaches and Santa Monica has repeatedly made it to the top of the list over the years via polls and surveys.

It goes without saying that visiting the public beach, “State Beach” as they call it, is absolutely free. Whether you trudge your way around a 26-mile long hiking trail, go on a walking tour, enjoy a bar crawl deep into the wee early morning hours, or rent a bike to explore the curious crevices of Los Angeles, the attraction is the most popular in Los Angeles for a variety of reasons. In fact, many recommend catching a ride on the world-renowned Ferris Wheel or make a trip to the eclectic 3rd Street Promenade for shopping, window-shopping or people-watching. It has everything you could ever ask for as a tourist - food vendors offering local delights, fine diners for celebrations, fun carnival games for kids, thrilling roller coaster rides, trendy local businesses, and live entertainment.

When you sign up for a local tour, a trip to Santa Monica beach and pier is most probably already on the list. But with an organized tour, you’re accorded less time to properly prance around on your own. Because the trip to the beach is gratis, making the most of your time here is ideal. It's your trip, your call. Either way, we're pretty sure you will be having a splashing good time either way!

Thanks to everyone who came out to Pier 360 last weekend. It was an epic day of fun in the sun!

Mishe Mokwa Trail and Sandstone Peak

If a great view is what you are looking for while vacationing in Los Angeles via bus charter, we think visitors should take time to bring the charter bus to Los Angeles’ Mishe Mokwa Trail which ends, if you take on the whole trail, at Sandstone Peak.

Officially known as Mount Allen, one of the most astounding mountains along Ventura County, Sandstone Peak offers LA visitors unprecedented views of Santa Monica mountains at the elevation of 3,111 feet above sea levels.

Good, Cheap Eats in Los Angeles

Los Angeles may be a city that is known for the bling, the fanfare and the larger-than-life setting but make no mistake about it, it is still possible to find cheap eats in the downtown area, including places like Santa Monica Boulevard.

Here, we will rundown some great cheap eats that you can check out during your stay as recommended by our bus rental Los Angeles customers.

Eat this Cafe
Strategically-located at 6547, Santa Monica Blvd, LA in Hollywood neighborhood, Eat This Cafe is a popular choice for tourists and office workers alike. They are known as a breakfast and lunch eatery because they open from 10am to 8pm from Monday to Friday; 10am to 3pm and 4pm to 8pm on Saturday; and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.

Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pits

You may have seen one too many replica of structures and bones in museums and other famous exhibits but here is your chance to see and learn about a real one now that you are at one of the world’s most famous fossil excavation site which has been digging out saber-toothed tigers, dire wolves, mammoths which dates back as far as 40,000.

The museum is largely a rather small one, just a point to note, just in case our bus charter Los Angeles customers were expecting to see a huge mansion-like, glistening building. No, that is not what you are going to get but is that a reason to give visiting this Los Angeles gem a miss? We think not. For some of us who have been to Page Museum when we were kids, it brings back tons of memories when we step back into the place. It makes us a little sad too because some visitors dumped rubbish into the tar pits. We would like to remind charter bus Los Angeles to leave the museum the very same way you found it when you arrived.

Weekdays are great times to visit as some foreign visitors might make their way here during the weekends and because of the size of the museum, can make things a little uncomfortable for little kids. You don’t need to spend a whole lot of time here because whatever that you can see and learn about can be done in right about half an hour. So, make this an interesting, short charter bus Los Angeles pit stop, enroute to another tourist attraction.

You can find loads of information about the history of Page Museum on the internet but we think that you ought to know that the piece of land, which originally measured up to four thousand and four hundred acres, was given to Antonio Jose Rocha in 1828. The only condition tied to the gift was that it was to be kept open so that local residents could extract as much asphalt as they needed for personal use. Hancock Park was the man who, in 1924, gave a part of the park to Los Angeles County with pretty much the same condition with the addition for it to be a fossil exhibition center (museum).

It’s funny that when they started excavating bones after bones, they thought that they belonged to dead animals like your ordinary chicken, stock or even larger animals like elephants and tigers. In 1901, popular geologists, W.W. Orcutt and F.M. Anderson started collecting them for years and discovered the bones were of some extinct animals, namely bison, camel, condor, mammoth, ground sloth, smilodon and coyote.

Since it isn’t a very large museum, we think it will be worth your time checking out this extraordinary charter bus Los Angeles landmark museum.

Autry National Center

Cowboys and their stories do not merely live on in movies, songs and books...they actually come alive at the Autry National Center which is a museum completely dedicated and committed to their mission of sharing and educating the general public and bus charter LA visitors about the diversity of American West. The people, the stories, the lives and perception of the American West is deeply appreciated right here in the Autry National Center.

In short, there are more than half a million different arts and discovered artifacts that are related to America’s West and history. The exhibitions includes self-initiated films, talks, fun festivals and of course, there are family-themed events as well. Please visit their website for more information on their updated programs which are suitable for even the young kids. We are sure the teenagers are going to enjoy learning up more about how the West worked. The museum is also, thankfully, strategically located in Griffith Park so that you can kill two birds with one stone during the visit.

For students who have their student cards with them, admission is merely $6 per person but the cost of entrance may change from time to time, depending on the time of the year.

If you are visiting during summer, be sure to head over to catch their Sizzling Summer Nights program during which the center provides bus charter LA visitors with a whole lineup of unique entertainment. Most of the time, during this year, an outdoor dance party is organized to help visitors learn more about the American culture, mingle with each other and make new friends along the way. It is also a wonderful opportunity for the center to introduce a whole lineup of new performers and rookie bands. If you want more out of the dance party, stay back after 6pm because that is when the drink bar is open and the fun really begins.

There are sometimes boxes of cowboy clothes in store for bus charter LA visitors so that they can play dress-up with the clothes and costumes and then take some fun pictures of them doing ‘cowboy-related’ activities. The fun video clips about how kids used to have fun back in the days is really educational and entertaining as well. The great part about Autry National Center is that you will never tire of visiting the place...they keep adding more and more activities at the center so that returning visitors will find something new and interesting to do each and every time they visit.

Discover Old is Gold - Nethercutt Museum

Fancy walking through a place that is filled with antique and classical cars from the 1910s right through to 1930s? Nethercutt Museum is home to about over 130 antique, classic and special interest automobiles - where else will you be able to find a place that houses so many of such cars? This place is definitely the place to go for car lovers - especially if you adore vintage, classical cars. So, gather your car lover friends and charter a bus to take all of you to this magnificent place.

If you have not heard of this place before, it simply is because this place is a well hidden gem in Los Angeles that many have yet to discover! But have no fear, though this may be a not so discovered yet place, any LA charter bus company drivers would know how to get their way here. The Nethercutt Museum is a self guided museum and is open from Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 9 in the morning till 4.30 in the afternoon.

One of the rules of the Nethercutt Museum is that if you intend to bring children, they must be by your side at all times and are expected to be well mannered, as the museum do not tolerate loud noises and children running around the museum. You are allowed to take photos or videos of the displays but food and beverage are a no-no inside. However, they do allow visitors to bring bottled water. At the Nethercutt Museum, there are a great range of cars to see - from the antique to the vintage to the classic right up to the post war eras! Other than cars, they also have antique furnishings plus many other collections that will intrigue you.

Right at the back of the Nethercutt Museum, you will find a 1937 Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson Locomotive that was built by Montreal Locomotive Works - a great proof to the awesome era of steam locomotive engineering.

Guided tours to the Nethercutt Collection are also available - but because the demand for the tour is really high, you will have to pre-book for a tour before you arrive in your chartered bus. Unfortunately, for this guided tour section, children under ten years of age are not allowed. Tours are on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 10 in the morning or 1.30 in the afternoon. Again, no food or beverage but bottled water is allowed.
