Los Angeles is one of the most adventure-packed places in California. No wonder so many people come to visit every year, especially during the summer! However, if you’ve lived in Los Angeles for a while but you’re still feeling like a tourist, fear no more. Keep reading to see how you can make the most of your summer outside in sunny Los Angeles!

1. Rooftop Bar Sunset

Look past that terrible LA smog, and start looking at the beautiful sunset! Los Angeles has plenty of great rooftop bars such as The Perch, and what better way to spend your summer than with getting drinks with your best friends, and enjoying live music while watching the sunset? This is a perfect excuse to get off of the couch and dress in your fanciest clothes, rather than staying in your pajamas all day.

2. Outdoor Movie Night

For all of my movie fans, there is another alternative to watching movies than at home on Netflix. Los Angeles offers many outdoor movies starting from classics, to modern hits! Grab your friends, snacks, blankets, and head on over to LA to enjoy your favorite films outdoors!

3. LA Zoo and Botanical Gardens

One of the most famous attractions in Los Angeles located in Griffith Park, the LA Zoo is home to many exotic animals from all around the world. The Botanical Gardens also offer thousands of beautiful plants that will go perfectly with your Instagram feed! Make this summer a beautiful outdoor adventure by being one with nature.

4. Universal Studios Hollywood

Take a step into the actual sets used for your favorite Hollywood movies and visit Universal Studios this summer in Los Angeles! Enjoy thrilling rides, delicious food, and fun all around with your friends and family. Universal Studios is one of the main attractions that people usually go to when they visit Los Angeles. Cast spells with Harry Potter, dance with silly minions, eat doughnuts with Homer Simpson, and practice your karate moves with Kung Fu Panda. Seriously, you’re going to need to prepare yourself for how much fun you’ll have being a part of multiple movies for a day.

5. Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier

If you ever had trouble deciding whether you wanted to go to the beach or to the amusement park, there is a perfect solution for you. Visit the Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier! You can play games and ride all different kinds of rides while looking at the beach at the same time. Go on the ferris wheel and look directly out to the Pacific Ocean. How beautiful does that sound?
