How To Beat The Heat Visiting LA This Summer
Have you been itching to visit one of the world’s greatest cities but are worried about burning up in the hot, dry summers there? Just because the highs of Los Angeles can reach over 100 degrees during the peak of summer doesn’t mean you have to sweat it out! Check out these awesome ways to enjoy your stay without fainting in the sun.
Take A Look Into The Past
There are tons of museums and cultural centers celebrating the widely diverse people who have shaped Los Angeles. They are nicely air-conditioned too.
The Getty Center
The Getty Center and its accompanying Getty Villa Museum are fantastic places to appreciate art and history. In addition to the amazing views of the city, they are constantly changing their exhibits to showcase modern artists from various backgrounds and artifacts from around the world.
The Griffith Observatory
Not only can you learn about the stars and planets above us, but the Griffith Observatory is free to the public! There’s nothing space-related that you can’t learn here between the shows and permanent exhibits. If your visit coincides with something special, the Observatory hosts events to celebrate the night sky.
Take A Dip
Of course, one of the best ways to beat the heat is to splash around in the refreshingly cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. These beaches are fun for the whole family.
Santa Monica Pier
Between the live music, spontaneous performances, good food, and sandy beach, it’s hard to go wrong at the Santa Monica Pier. If you want a better view of LA, hop on their Pacific Park’s Ferris Wheel.
