There are also a ton of really cool contemporary art murals painted on the walls and people watching is top notch! Next was Muscle Beach – it was much smaller than we anticipated but was still cool to see. Right behind us the roller bladders were working it with a group rollerblade dance session so that was interesting to watch too! We then headed over to the skate park to check that out and we could have stayed for hours watching the skaters. it is legal in CA and is sold right on the boardwalk. The Venice beach boardwalk is filled with shops and has a pretty constant smell of weed. We opted to put the boards back and instead choose to go on the walking path where we walked along the beach and into Venice beach. they are still learning to skateboard and the walkway was super busy and lots of people had the motorized scooters so it didn’t feel very safe to have the kids on their boards. Then we tried to get the kids skateboards out so that they could ride down the walkway, but it didn’t work out. There is a nice sized walkway that takes you from the Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach so we opted to park right in the middle in a large parking lot – you do have to pay for it. If you are looking for a unique experience than Venice Beach is the place for you. We talk with the kids about how when we see the sign in movies and TV shows now we can be like, “Hey, we have been there!” Also on the way up you get some pretty amazing views of the sign. Once at the top you get an amazing view of LA with the Hollywood sign right below you. If this sounds too confusing and stressful you can also check out this guided Hollywood Sign Hike. And no, we did not go in any of the no trespassing areas! we kind of just kept following the signs and the people and we ended up going the right way. ![]() Some people were telling us you can’t hike up there and then we would see others that said you could. It isn’t easy, but our 6 year old did it with just being carried on our back a couple of times. Take note this is a long hike – probably about 3 mile – 4 mile round trip hike from the Lake Hollywood park (where there is free public parking) and a lot of it is uphill. You won’t be able to touch the sign but you can hike right up behind it. You can’t get much more iconic then the Hollywood Sign! And hiking to the Hollywood sign is a great way to see it and to get a view of all of LA. Things To Do In LA With Kids 1 – Hollywood Sign
