One such sights is the Adamson house and Malibu Lagoon Museum. The Adamson house was built in 1929 and originally owned by the Rindge family. Built with a Moorish-Spanish feel to it, the house is a magnificent construction of tiles of different colors: rich blue, green, yellow and orange tiles dot the entire structure. It has a remarkable dog shower, also made of tiles. The place is guarded by docents, who facilitate the tour for you, but you can also go on a self-guided tour using the many signs posted around the grounds of the house. It costs US$5 to tour the house and its grounds, and tours can only be done from Wednesday to Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm.
Another remarkable site in the Los Angeles Area is the Bradbury Building. Known as one of the locations where the films Wolf, Chinatown and Blade Runner were filmed, the building has a distinctive skylit atrium that is reminiscent of Victorian era architecture as well as somewhat unnerving birdcage elevators. It is said that the building was designed drawing inspiration from the architect’s Ouija board conversation with a dead brother. Only the first-floor landing and the lobby is open to visitors, however, before there are businesses that run on the upper floors of the building. Entrance is free, and the building can be accessed from 9 am until 5 pm.
Of course, who would dare forget about the Aquarium of the Pacific up at Long Beach? This Aquarium boasts of shows showcasing lovely and lively sea lions, as well as in intimidating tank full of different kinds of sharks. The Aquarium also features a near-realistic film showing the many different kinds of whales that swim the depths of the seas of the world. It is said that you can actually feel like you’re swimming with the behemoths when the lights turn down! It costs only US$19.95, a value you won’t regret spending with all the benefits you’re sure to reap from the visit.
