Have a thrill of a time:

If thrills are more your style, Universal Studios includes all of the rides you could possibly ask for. Of course, even if you do not enjoy amusement rides, there are plenty of shops to see and bites to grab.

Finally, a stop at one of the city’s top restaurants will definitely hit the spot after a fun day out. For this we recommend our list of LA Eats for a curated selection of dining spots.
