Flight Path Museum at LAX
2027-01-23 12:00 - 16:00 | Flight Path Museum
OPEN SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS- LAX
The Flight Path Museum & Learning Center is an aviation and aerospace museum with unique artifacts and views of the LAX runway. Flight Path Learning Center of Southern California was founded in 1995 as a nonprofit, community-based organization to honor aviation pioneers, recognize the economic importance of aviation and aerospace to Southern California, and encourage youth to pursue education and careers in aviation-related fields. The kickoff project was a series of sidewalk plaques in the LAX business district saluting aviation pioneers, organizations and locations. This “Flight Path” is the aviation equivalent of the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Unique among the fine aviation museums in Southern California is the Flight Path Museum’s location, the only aviation museum and research center situated at a major airport and the only facility with a primary emphasis on contributions of civil aviation to the history and development of Southern California.

The Flight Path Museum gallery of exhibits, filled with memories of aviation’s golden years, is located adjacent to the LAX airfield, where today’s aircraft and travelers arrive and depart the world’s busiest origin and destination airport. No other museum offers such a perspective on contemporary aircraft and aviation.

Exhibits

COMMERCIAL AVIATION HISTORY EXHIBIT

The Flight Path museum houses an extensive collection of airline artifacts from the beginning of the commercial aviation era to present day. Experience the glamour of flight at the dawn of long-haul travel.

FLIGHT CREW UNIFORM EXHIBIT

Flight Path has over 600 uniforms from 68 airlines from around the world covering most of commercial flight history. Several pieces were special editions to mark specific events. Several of the uniforms are on display, while others can be viewed by request in the archive.

DC-3 PLANE EXHIBIT

The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear, with a cruise speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), commercial capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and could operate from short runways.

The Aircraft was displayed for many years at the California Science Center in Exposition Park in Los Angeles. It has been on loan to the Flight Path Museum LAX since September 2006.

SPACE EXPLORATION EXHIBIT

Astronaut Flight Suit
Space Debris
Model Rockets
Tribute to 50 years since the Apollo Program

Flight Path hosts the Space Exploration Gallery that spotlights the history and development of space flight. The gallery showcases a colorful and informative timeline of space exploration history together with a number of important space artifacts. Included is the flight suit of astronaut Gen. Kevin P. Chilton, commander of the Endeavour and Atlantis space shuttles.
There is an extension to the exhibit in the entrance courtyard where a piece from a spacecraft that has re-entered the atmosphere can be observed.

FLYING TIGERS EXHIBIT

Flying Tiger Line, also known as Flying Tigers, was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War era for both cargo and personnel. The airline was bought by Federal Express in 1988.

The airline was named after the Flying Tigers fighter unit of World War II, officially the 1st American Volunteer Group. Ten former AVG pilots formed the Flying Tiger Line (established as National Skyway Freight) after returning to the United States in 1945, using a small fleet of Budd Company C-93 Conestoga freighters purchased as war surplus from the United States Navy. The pilots and two ground crew provided half of the initial investment, with the balance coming from California oil tycoon Samuel B. Mosher. For the next four years, Flying Tiger Line carried air freight on contract throughout the U.S. and, as the airline expanded, carrying supplies to U.S. troops under Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the occupation of Japan.

FIRE FIGHTING VEHICLE EXHIBIT

On permanent display on the airside of the museum is a retied ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) truck used at LAX. The Oshkosh M3000 model was manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation in Appleton, Wisconsin and entered service at LAX in 1995, it stayed in operation for about a decade and a half. Maximum operating load is 148,000lbs, 3,000 gallons of water and 500 gallons of foam. Made to reach potential accidents sites at top speed, it reached speeds of 50mph in a sprint.

Today, ARFF operations at LAX are conducted out of one station near the center of the airport, Station 80 is a part of the Los Angeles Fire Department. They currently operate six Panther trucks manufactured by Rosenbauer America. In addition to ARFF operations, there is a city fire-station that responds to EMS and non-ARFF emergencies on the airfield located within the airport operations area adjacent to Sepulveda Blvd.

Admission
MUSEUM TIMED VISIT: ADULT (ONE HOUR): $5.00
MUSEUM TIMED VISIT: CHILD, SENIOR, MILITARY OR LAX BADGED (ONE HOUR): $3.00

With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions.

OUR HISTORY

The Old LA Zoo
2027-01-26 05:00 - 22:30 | The Old Los Angeles Zoo, 4801 Griffith Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
OPEN EVERYDAY- Griffith Park
The Old LA Zoo, or The Griffith Park Zoo, opened in 1912 and closed in 1966 with the opening of the new, Los Angeles Zoo. The abandoned site of the Griffith Park Zoo, complete with the ruins of animal enclosures, is now a picnic area and hiking trail in Griffith Park.

The Old LA Zoo opened in 1912 with a grand total of only 15 animals. Bears, Lions, Monkeys, Macaw’s, Elephants, Reptiles, Goats, and Turtles now lived in the zoo, which was built on the original site of Griffith J. Griffith‘s defunct ostrich farm.

As Los Angeles grew, the small Griffith Park Zoo was increasingly criticized as an “inadequate, ugly, poorly designed despite drawing more than 2 million visitors a year.
In 1958, the city decided to create a brand new zoo, and the Griffith Park Zoo closed in August 1966. Its animals were transferred to the new Los Angeles Zoo 2 miles away, which opened a few months later.

The animal enclosures, with the bars removed, were left as ruins and remain today. A large picnic area was added, and NOW every summer, the zoo is the location for the Independent Shakespeare Company’s Free “Shakespeare in the Park” performances.
The Old Zoo is located on Griffith Park Dr. Only 2 miles from today’s LA Zoo,

Upon arriving, you will see a small parking lot. Follow the path Up the hill to reach the abandoned enclosure.
Upon arriving, you will enter many of the original Grotto’s. There are lots of little spaces to crawl into, AND stairs to climb up.

Follow the path around to get to the upper lever where you will find even more cages & enclosures.

If you are going to come for a visit, make sure to bring a bottle of water and your imagination.

The Venice Run Club
2027-01-26 19:30 - 21:00 | Santa Monica High School, 601 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA, 90405, United States
EVERY WEEK, EVERY RUN, EVERY BODY- Santa Monica & Venice
The Venice Run Club is the heartbeat of Venice. A community of runners here to better ourselves and our community. Come run with us.
48 for Change
With the combination of a global pandemic and civil unrest around racial injustice, June of 2020 set the stage for important societal and human issues to finally come to light in a more permanent way. This was the same time that two friends, Justin and Tyler, decided they wanted to take action to make a difference in the injustices and inequality we see in our communities.

The week of George Floyd’s passing, Justin called Tyler voicing his frustration from Floyd’s murder and subsequent reactions, and they joined forces to do a running challenge that very weekend that entailed running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. A GoFundMe was set up to collect funds from friends and family throughout the running challenge to donate to help support racial justice.
What started as a way to take the mind off of the pressure cooker of injustice resulted in a massively successful and attention-grabbing fundraiser, and eventually turned into a 501(c)3 nonprofit, still strong and growing today: 48 For Change.
Aside from fundraising and donating, Justin found that the community that gathered to run that weekend was something special, and needed its own spotlight. A place where anyone can come and simply run with a group of good people. Venice Run Club was born.
Nearly two years later, we have grown into a strong group of 200+ runners, given back $100,000 and over 1,100lbs of clothing to the LA community, guided over 40 runners to completing their first marathon, and become On’s first-ever sponsored run club in America.
Come make friends, break a sweat, and get to know the city in the best way possible: by running its streets.

The Broad Collection
Eli and Edythe Broad have been building their collection of postwar and contemporary art over the last 50 years. With a belief that the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, the Broads took to collecting art of their own time.
The Broad is home to 2,000 works in the Broad collection by more than 200 artists, and is one of the world’s leading collections of postwar and contemporary art. The collection features in-depth holdings of influential contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Yayoi Kusama, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Takashi Murakami, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, and more, plus an ever-growing representation of younger artists.

View Our Collection Here

In Under the Table, 1994, the viewer is both in the world of imaginary giants and in the world of remembered childhood. Fusing Alice in Wonderland with the Duchampian tradition of the readymade, Artist Robert Therrien constructs a doppelganger from an everyday object, both displaying his visual wit and actualizing literary or imaginative fantasy in three-dimensional space. The table exudes an extraordinary aura, compelling one to walk underneath the table and conjuring the physical memory of being under the table of one’s childhood home. Complicated and powerful, the work offers fresh ideas of what a table, sculpture, and memory can mean.

Using the recognizable form of a balloon twisted into the shape of a dog, Koons has frozen a moment in time, exaggerating both scale and material.
Balloon Dog (Blue) is literal and abstract. When standing close to it, one’s own distorted reflection bends around smooth pert curves.

General Admission is Free

Suihoen - The Japanese Garden
2027-01-28 09:30 - 15:30 | Suihoen The Japanese Garden, 6100 Woodley Ave, Lake Balboa, CA, 91406, United States
NOW OPEN- Van Nuys

6100 Woodley Ave, Lake Balboa, CA 91406

Nestled amidst the bustling San Fernando Valley lies an oasis of serenity – the Japanese Garden at Van Nuys, also known as Suihōen (水芳園), meaning “garden of water and fragrance.” This captivating 6.5-acre sanctuary transports you to a world of tranquility, offering a glimpse into traditional Japanese garden design and a chance to reconnect with nature’s calming embrace.

A Journey Through Three Distinct Styles
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is a masterpiece of design, incorporating three distinct styles of Japanese gardens. As you embark on your exploration, prepare to be enveloped by:

Tsukiyama (mountain borrowing) style: This style cleverly borrows the scenery of the surrounding hills, creating the illusion of a much larger space. Let your imagination wander as the boundaries between the garden and the natural landscape seem to blur.

Chisen (pond garden) style: A central pond, symbolizing the vastness of the ocean, takes center stage in this style. Graceful bridges connect small islands within the pond, adding a touch of whimsy and tranquility to the scene. Keep an eye out for the vibrant koi fish that call this pond their home.

Kare-sansui (dry landscape) style: Embrace the beauty of minimalism with the Kare-sansui style. Rocks, sand, and gravel are meticulously arranged to represent water and mountains, creating a space for contemplation and reflection.

A Haven for Relaxation and Reflection
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is more than just a visual treat. It’s a place to unwind, de-stress, and reconnect with your inner peace.

Stroll the Winding Paths: Meandering paths, crafted from natural materials, weave through the landscape, inviting you on a journey of discovery. Allow yourself to be present in the moment, savoring the sights, sounds, and scents of the garden.

Find Serenity by the Koi Pond: The gentle murmur of water and the graceful dance of the koi fish create a calming atmosphere. Take a seat on a nearby bench and let the tranquility wash over you.

Unwind Amidst the Dry Landscape: The stark beauty of the Kare-sansui style fosters a sense of peace and mindfulness. Allow the raked sand and meticulously placed rocks to inspire contemplation and a connection with nature’s simplicity.

A Cultural Gem in the City
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys isn’t just a beautiful space; it’s a cultural gem. As you explore, you’ll encounter traditional Japanese elements like:

Torii gate: A traditional gate that marks the entrance to the garden, signifying a transition from the everyday world to a sacred space.

Pagoda: A multi-tiered tower, a familiar feature in Japanese gardens, adds an architectural touch and a sense of history.

Tea house: While not always open to the public, the presence of a tea house hints at the cultural significance of tea ceremonies in Japanese tradition.

Plan Your Tranquil Escape
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys is open to the public free of charge (donations are appreciated). The garden is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, offering a convenient escape during the workweek or a peaceful weekend retreat.
Embrace the Tranquility
The Japanese Garden at Van Nuys awaits you. Immerse yourself in the calming beauty of this haven, explore the intricacies of Japanese garden design, and discover a place for relaxation, reflection, and a touch of cultural exploration. So, take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and find your moment of peace amidst the serenity of the Japanese Garden.
