Griffith Park is the largest park in Los Angeles. It takes up about 4310 acres of land.
This is the place where you can have the absolute best view of the famous "HOLLYWOOD" sign. James Dean filmed a part of "Rebel without a Cause" here.
The entire park is filled with attractions including the LA Zoo, Greek Theatre, Travel Town, Pony Rides, Autry Center, and a Merry-Go-Round.
One of my favorite spots in the park is an outside cafe, "The Trails".
It's located by the west end of Los Feliz Blvd and Fern Dell Dr. This is a popular area for hiking and picnics.

This cafe is pretty hidden by the woods. The backyard is wide and totally surrounded by nature. It reminds me of a cafe in North Carolina because of the country mountain feeling.
I found this cafe one day while attending an Outdoor family theater event called Faery Hunt.
This is a unique outdoor adventure in a gorgeous location.

Los Angeles is always so blue.
I saw the new planetarium for the first time and I was very amazed how wonderful the experience was.
There is a gift store that sells original goods that you can only find here.
Thinking of space is kind of hopeless but amusing.
Sunset and evening is even more beautiful here. They are open until 10 pm between Wednesday and Sunday.
After an all day adventure in Griffith Park, if you are starving for meat..
There is a great place for traditional Scottish cuisine and Prime Ribs nearby! The Tam O' Shanter, is one of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles.
There are many different styles of cut for Prime Rib and I recommend the Tam O'shanter Cut $31 for the first time.
