Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

The dinosaur and mammal exhibits were truly impressive. Although it's a county-level museum, it was built in the 1920s and has a rich history. It allowed us to learn about nature and also to see how Americans treated nature at that time.

Exposition Park

We took our kids there, 3 and 5. Went to the science museum, natural history museum, butterfly exhibit, and then let the kids play in the shade of the rose garden. They were only interested in the shuttle itself for about two minutes, but there were other things to see. They loved the dinosaurs and butterflies. They were entertained for over three hours, which was good. Need to buy tickets in advance. Many things have separate admission fees. I only noticed that parking was $12. Excellent museum, but in the transportation center of the city, so adjust your schedule accordingly.

NBA Los Angeles Lakers Home Game

Lakers is the favorite team of most fans. From the Kobe era to the current James-led basketball empire, there is one less game to watch. The live viewing experience is definitely worth the fans to find out.

Crypto.com Arena

Managed to catch some big superstar for Lakers outside the arena. Pretty upset as NBA regular season is ended when I visited in June and no playoff games at the time hence I wasn’t able to watch the game in the arena but I’m sure I will be back some day again to watch a NBA game.

Aquarium of the Pacific

Had a wonderful time at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach! There is so much to see, from colorful tropical fish and beautiful jellyfish to adorable sea otters and playful penguins. The exhibits are well designed, informative, and enjoyable for both adults and children. I especially loved seeing the marine animals up close and learning more about ocean conservation. The aquarium is well maintained, and the whole visit was fun, relaxing, and educational. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the Long Beach area!

Disneyland Resort California

It felt a little different from Disney Resort in Japan! It was exciting to ride Cars, a ride that doesn't exist in Japan!

Disneyland Park California

Ticketing is convenient and quick. The world's first Disney park is a bit old, and the castle looks somewhat shabby, but it's the first one! The fun atmosphere remains undiminished, and the food prices inside the park are reasonable, similar to those outside, and the taste is also good. Visiting both parks in one day is perfectly feasible.
