What to do in downtown LA?

[Ben Meyer]

I have a 35 hour layover in downtown LA starting tomorrow morning. Anything RV or aviation related to do? Or, what's your favorite non-aviation thing to do in LA?
I'm just trying to not go insane for such a long sit.

Thanks in advance!

The tar pits -

The Getty Museum - if it hasn't changed no reservations needed if you go by bus - the Santa Monica buses may be better..

The Petersen Car Museum -

All of the above are great places to visit.

It isn't downtown LA, but if you have 35 hours, should be plenty of time to visit it. Museum of Flying in Santa Monica. http://www.museumofflying.org. They have (or had-check first) the BD-5J that was in a James Bond movie. Further away is another good airport-based museum: Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. http://www.lyonairmuseum.org

Getty is awesome if you can get tickies....

If you're so inclined, call Uber and go to the Tiki Ti in Silverlake.... http://www.yelp.com/biz/tiki-ti-****...ge-los-angeles

Good times! (and there is food nearby)

The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City. See portraits of the dogs sent aloft in the Soviet space program.

No tickets needed for entrance, only for parking, which can get cut off when full.

Uber or a cab from nearby would be a good choice.
