The Lab, which is located in Costa Mesa is an outside mall that includes boutique shops, one-of-a-kind eateries and art showings. It has all kinds of different things, like poetry readings, a lounge where you can relax, and many backdrops where you can take great photos.

What makes The LAB unique is the different kinds of stores they have to shop. Not many malls have Urban Outfitters, a thrift store, a cafe and a huge courtyard all in one, which is why many people like to come here for impromptu photoshoots. After all, they do have many beautiful arts and vintage backgrounds including a wall that spells out “HOPE.”

One of their famous art pieces would be the green barrels. Many instagram models like to take pictures in front of this.

If you enjoy art and want to seek knowledge about history you should visit the Getty Museum. It is one of the world’s largest art organizations.

The museum is located in Los Angeles and has two campuses: The Getty Center and The Getty Villa, which is located in Malibu. Both are located in separate areas,  not far from each other.

There are many different rides for those who enjoy a thrilling roller coaster ride. There are a couple of water rides and an arcade filled with many games.

The park is split up into different sections known as: Ghost Town, Calico Park, Fiesta Village, and Camp Snoopy.  Depending on the theme of the section, it is decorated and designed to make you feel as if you were in a different town or city.

If you’re an animal lover, The Los Angeles Zoo is the place for you. The tickets for adults are only $18 for the whole day. For children ages 2 to 12 are $16. There are all kinds of  breeds of animals.
