The Old LA Zoo
2022-06-28 05:00 - 22:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | 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.

8one8 Brewing is proud to offer a product that brings people together of different nationalities, age groups, religious beliefs, income levels, political views and create a moment of common ground to say cheers!

OUR ROOTS:
The start of 818 Brewing can be traced back to three things — the discovery of a new bar, our curiosity and our entrepreneurial spirit.
The time spent at a new, local bar was actually our crash course to the craft brew scene. Thanks to this crazy new bar in Winnetka, CA and our buddy the bartender, we were introduced to new styles of beer that were much different than the commercial brands we were used to. After many conversations on the process of making beer and the brewing techniques of smaller breweries, we decided to take a chance at brewing our own malted, adult beverages!We signed up for a Maltose Falcons class, bought a brewing kit and a turkey fryer and made a batch of beer on June 23, 2012. After this first batch, we were hooked! We invested more time in learning about the process, fabricated custom brewing equipment and experimented with new recipes while tweaking them to make them our own.After serving samples of our homemade brews and getting positive feedback, we began talking of doing it legit and opening up a brewery! Given our Valley roots and the fact our beer was brewed out of a garage in Sylmar, CA, we decided 818 Brewing was the perfect name and we filed our paperwork in October 2014 for our new venture.
What we’ve enjoyed the most along our journey is the sense of community within the craft brew scene. Not many products can bring people together of different nationalities, age groups, religious beliefs, income levels, political views – and even fellow brewers! – And create a moment of common ground. 8 one 8 Brewing is proud to offer a product that brings us together to say cheers!

Back in the 60’s, bands like The Doors and The Byrds along with Frank Zappa and Arthur Lee would meet at Canter’s to exchange stories, girlfriends and eat. By the 90’s informal star-studded jam sessions began taking place in the Kibitz Room on Tuesday nights where groups would schmooze, and kibbitz. Many, including Joni Mitchell, Rick James, Slash and members of Guns N’ Roses, The Wallflowers, and members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, have come to the Kibitz Room to hang out, sing, play, and most importantly to eat and drink. Now there is something going on in the Kibitz Room every night of the week. Most nights turning into jam sessions by midnight.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

Come to The Inglewood Public Library and “check out” their new selection of video games, for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, that you can borrow, just like you would borrow a book?

Runyon Canyon Yoga- 2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046

In 1634, Daniel Overberger’s forebears came to America on the Dove as escaped counterfeiters. Here, they mated with members of the Yaocomico tribe of Maryland. Centuries later, it is this union of fugitive and shaman blood that runs through Daniel’s veins, injecting a much needed outlaw spirit into western yoga.

Having earned his teaching certification through his studies and apprenticeship with ashtanga vinyasa masters in Mysore, India, Daniel has been bringing donation-based vinyasa yoga to the people since 2005. The host of the Daniel Overberger – What Now? podcast, author of Leaving Stress Behind and founder of alt-kirtan group Dharma Gypsys, Daniel has been featured on KTLA News, in Tarzan Magazine (Japan) and in LA Yoga Magazine, to which he has been a regular contributor.

Daniel has two teaching certificates from his studies in Mysore, India and teaches Vinyasa yoga with roots in Ashtanga. His teaching is laced with a sense of humor and a down-to-earth attitude that makes yoga accessible to anyone willing to show up for the gig.

Bar Bandini is a sexy nightspot with eclectic list of natural wines, sour beers & saisons on tap, plus small plates.

Upscale, classy wine bar with a beautiful interior. Bring your girlfriends and share a bottle of beer or wine and just enjoy this beautiful place. Guys, this is a gret spot to bring your date to impress her.

A slate of 8 rotating wine taps, it’s also more environmentally friendly, as Bandini plans to specialize in the kind of funky natural wines that’s all the rage with more conscious imbibers. The craft beers won’t be neglected, with 12 taps that’ll lean heavy on sours, IPAs, and saisons, the kind of lusty selection that gets the hopheads drooling.

Founded by Michael Lippman, Joshua Weinstein, and Jason Piggott, who bring a collective 20-plus years of restaurant experience in LA and New York City, the place is named for local writer John Fante, whose protagonist Arturo Bandini roamed Los Angeles on the fiction author’s pages.

Inside the space, a dark, rustic feel that’s covered with Douglas fir flooring, elevated banquettes, and a sleek slate bar. Everything feels like it’s been settled for years, giving Bandini a timeless feel that gives one the sense it’s going to stick around for a while.

4219 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029

Long-standing gay hot spot caters to a leather-wearing crowd, with cheap beer nights & DJs.

The current location of Eagle LA has served home to many gay bars over the years dating back 44 years. It was known as the Shed from 1968-1972, The Outcast from 1972-1983, the famous Gauntlet II from 1983-2005, then later, Eagle LA.

Gauntlet II was in operation for 21 years. Then, in the summer of 2005 Charlie and business partner Vince decided to buy the bar with the intention of making a name change. In April 2006, Eagle LA was born, or, reborn as it may be. There was an original Eagle LA located in West Hollywood at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Fairfax. It operated for 15 years and closed in 1995. Although that Eagle is of no relation to Charlie or Vince, they are proud to reestablish the Eagle LA and become the latest in a long line of Eagle bars in cities throughout the US and around the world. It has always been their mission to uphold the Leather/Uniform/Fetish traditions set forth by the infamous Eagle name and that traditions still holds true today.

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
All visitors must reserve timed tickets in advance. Some exhibitions and events carry a separate charge.

Dockweiler Beach Fire Pits
2022-07-01 06:30 - 23:59 | CA
EVERY DAY ’til MIDNIGHT- Dockweiler State Beach
The Dockweiler Beach Fire Pits are located about 3 miles south of Playa del Rey, this inviting beach features 3 miles of shoreline, an RV park, and over 2,000 regular vehicle parking spaces. The wide sandy beach lies beneath the departures flight path of LAX, offering fantastic belly views of airlines headed out over the Pacific. The lot entrance is at Vista del Mar and Imperial Highway.

FIRE PITS RULES

Any grills or BBQs must fit inside the fire pit, which is 2′ wide. No grills, grilling, or flames or fires on the sand.
To use the fire pits, you bring your own charcoal or wood and a way to light them.
Please do not use sand to put out the fire.
Help keep our beaches clean by preventing ashes or debris from falling into the sand.

There’s no better way to end a fun day at the beach than to circle up around a cozy bonfire. Not all California beaches allow bonfires, but here in the Marina del Rey area, we’re lucky that Dockweiler State Beach does permit regulated burns in provided fire rings. Follow these tips to ensure your group has an enjoyable time.

If you want a pit, arrive early. From May through September, the pits are in high demand, especially on the weekends, and there are some diehards who arrive at dawn to claim their spots for the entire day. You cannot reserve fire pits as you would a campsite. Do not leave your pit unattended, even for a quick dip in the ocean – if you do, don’t be surprised to find another group has taken over the site. There are between 60 – 80 fire pits located just north and south of where Vista del Mar intersects with Imperial Highway. That sounds like a lot, but consider that Dockweiler is also home to an RV park, and you’re all competing for space.
Bring everything you need – wood, s’mores, snacks, et cetera (see “Your Packing List” below).
The beach and all amenities close at midnight.
Before you leave, snuff out the flame with water. Stir the embers after they are covered with water and make sure that everything is saturated. Do not use sand to distinguish the fire, as it creates a mess for the next guest.

YOUR PACKING LIST

Wood and charcoal (wood for that nice bonfire and charcoal for cooking – see below about barbecue rules). Both can be purchased at Ralph’s grocery stores: 4700 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey; 8701 Lincoln Boulevard, Playa del Rey. Only burn clean wood (nothing treated with paint, chemicals, etc.) in the pits.
Fire starter and a lighter. You can purchase kindling from most any grocery, home supply, or sporting-goods store. Or, prepare your own starter with this old-school camping craft: Fill a cardboard egg carton with dryer lint, wood shavings, paper shreds, or other ignitable materials. Pour a small amount of melted candle wax into each cup to make things stay put. Break off cups individually and place into your wood stack. Light the cardboard cups and watch how easy your fire takes off – even in the wind.
If barbecuing, note that large stand-up barbeques are NOT allowed on the sand or in the parking lots. However, you can bring a low-profile version and place it inside the fire ring.
Long-handle grilling sticks. These are great for cooking hot dogs and kabobs and roasting marshmallows.
Hot glove or mitt. Don’t ruin your night with a burn from handling hot wood, pots, or grills. Items like the Ove Glove offer protection while still allowing dexterity.
Food! Doubt you’ll forget this, but you may want a separate checklist so that you remember all the elements for your meal. It’s easy to overlook things like serving spoons, plastic utensils, salt and pepper, napkins or wet wipes, and containers for leftovers. Paper plates are great for cookouts since they’re ok to burn in the fire afterward.
Camp/beach table. Depending on the size of your group, you may prefer to set up your dinner fixings buffet style on a simple folding table. Whatever you bring, remember that you’ll need to carry it across the sand to the pit and back to the parking lot at the end of your evening. So only take what you really need.
You’ll want a beverage cooler with ice, especially if you heed our warning and arrive early in the day to claim your spot. A bag to hold discarded recyclables is a good idea, too.
Comfort items. Ask each person in your group to bring his or her own beach chair or picnic blanket. Remind them that despite warm daytime temps, the beach cools down a lot at night; having extra blankets and jackets is a smart move.

DOCKWEILER STATE BEACH PARKING INFORMATION
Parking at Dockweiler State Beach costs between $6 (weekday, low season) and $13 (weekend, high season) and there are no in/outs. If you leave the lot, you must pay again to enter. The first 300 cars to arrive during weekdays pay a reduced rate of $3; during weekends and L.A. County holidays, the reduced rate for the first 300 cars is $5.

Greystone Mansion and Gardens
2022-07-01 10:00 - 17:00 | Greystone Mansion and Gardens, 905 Loma Vista Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210, United States
OPEN DAILY 10am – 5pm- Beverly Hills
The historic Greystone Mansion and Gardens is owned by the City of Beverly Hills and is operated through the Department of Community Services – Recreation and Parks Division.​
Greystone Mansion, and the surrounding grounds it shares its magnificent beauty with, are rich in California history. Edward Laurence Doheny, the original proprietor of the Greystone land, was born in 1856 in the small Midwestern town of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. By the time he was a young teen, Doheny’s adventuresome spirit and love of the wilderness led him to prospecting for gold and soon thereafter, oil. In 1892, Doheny and his friend Charles A. Canfield, were the first to strike oil in Los Angeles. They later discovered large oil deposits in Mexico which, combined with their Los Angeles holdings, made them the largest producers of oil in the world at that time.

Edward Doheny and his wife Carrie Louella Wilkins had two children. Their first, a daughter Eileen, passed away when she was just seven years old. On November 6, 1893, their only son, Edward “Ned” Laurence Doheny, Jr., was born and grew up as heir to one of the world’s great financial empires. Ned went on to marry Lucy Smith of Pasadena and in 1926 Edward Laurence Doheny Sr. gave his son as a wedding gift a premium parcel of land consisting of 12.58 acres with sweeping citywide views.

Construction of the palatial manor home began February 15, 1927 and although Ned, his wife Lucy, and their five children moved into the residence in September 1928, the estate took three years to complete at a cost of over $3 million, an almost unimaginable sum in real estate at the time.

Due to the current circumstances surrounding COVID-19, the Doheny Greystone Estate is open to the public by reservation only. Please make a reservation here:

The Abbey West Hollywood
2022-07-01 11:00 - 2022-07-02 02:00 | The Abbey, 692 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA, 90069, United States
THE WORLD’S GREATEST GAY BAR – West Hollywood
Come and join your friends at The Abbey, welcoming you to a weekend of Pride celebrations! Sip on delicious cocktails, dance the night away to our great music selection, and enjoy a special Pride menu. Celebrating PRIDE is all about having a great time with friends and family!

After nearly three decades in the business — an achievement in any industry but a unicorn-level rarity in the dining and nightlife scene — The Abbey is more than a dance club or restaurant. It’s a community center, albeit one with sexy, barely clad dancers, 10-oz apple martinis, and magical memories.
The weekly calendar includes Brunch Service on Saturdays, All That ’90s on Tuesdays, Ash WeHo, Kink Thursdays, and Sinful Fridays. The most popular day remains Sunday Funday when locals start showing up for brunch. By mid-afternoon, there’s a line snaking down the block that’d make you think it’s on Saturday night.
On a typical weekday at The Abbey, you’ll see parents with baby strollers coming from the park next door and guys in tank tops after a workout. That segues into the lunch crowd, which eventually becomes the happy hour and dinner crowd. Around 9 p.m., the dancers — both guys and girls — come out.
THE ABBEY PRIDE WEEKEND

THE OWNER

David Cooley, hailing from Ohio and armed with a degree in Hotel Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, packed up and moved out to Los Angeles in 1981. Pursuing a new career in finance, Cooley was a stockbroker for two years before becoming a vice president at Wells Fargo Bank.
Shortly thereafter in 1991, Cooley set out on his own and invested in a small, discreet space in West Hollywood that he renovated into a coffeehouse called The Abbey. After nearly twenty-five years and five expansions, The Abbey is more than 14,000 square feet and known as the Best Gay Bar in the World, having won the award twice from Logo.

Hours
Monday – Friday: 11:00am – 2:00am
Saturday – Sunday: 10:00am – 2:00am

FREE FAMILY NIGHT
2022-07-01 16:00 - 19:00 | KIDS SPACE MUSEUM, 480 N. Arroyo Blvd., Pasadena, CA, 91103, United States
FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH in Pasadena
The first Tuesday of every month from 4:00 to 8:00pm is Kids Space Museum Free Family Night. Admission to the Museum is FREE for everyone during these hours only. Families can engage with special programming and performers that highlight cultures and traditions from around the world. Expect crowds and long admission lines during the spring and summer months.

The Mission & History of Kids Space Children’s Museum
The mission of this foundation is to nurture the potential of all children through driven experiences, inspiring them to become joyful, active learners.

To help us achieve this, we work by the following core values:

Respect—We respect our guests by asking their opinions and listening. We also respect our guests and embrace diversity.
Integrity—We do what we said we will do even when it is not the easy thing to do. We want to be transparent with our finances so our investors know how they are making a difference.
Safety—The safety of our guests comes first. We have a safe environment where young minds of all ages can explore, learn, and have fun.
Experiential Learning—Education is the core of who we are. We believe that when learning becomes fun, the learner does so willingly.

The Purpose of a Kids Space Children’s Museum
An incredible seed bed of learning and discovery, the purpose of a children’s museum is to inspire children to learn and grow, equip parents and teachers, and to be a safe place where learners of all abilities can do so at their own pace and focus on topics of interest to them. This is often referred to as “Free Range Learning.” What makes us different from a school is our approach to informal education. We believe in giving our guests hands-on experiences that are relevant and inspiring.
In Dr. Howard Gardner’s book, Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century, he points out the value of children’s museums in helping a child discover their learning style. Kidspace provides a learning environment filled with the wonder and joy of the natural world.
A definition from the Association of Children’s Museums:
KIDS SPACE MUSEUM is a nonprofit institution that provides children with hands-on learning experiences and interactive activities, because children learn through exploration and play. The first children’s museum, called the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, was founded in the year 1899. LEARN MORE

Classic Car Show at Bob's
2022-07-01 16:00 - 22:00 | BOB’S BIG BOY- DOWNTOWN BURBANK, 4211 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA, 91505, United States
EVERY FRIDAY- in Burbank
The Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy, has been a tradition in Burbank for years. A buzzy retro scene begins to unfold as enthusiasts cruise in looking for prime spots where the tower sign’s red neon might reflect off their freshly polished hoods. Weekly cars shows are a slice of Americana, but no place does them quite like Bob’s Big Boy®, where the food is hot and the cars are hotter.

Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy
The Classic Car Show at Bob’s Big Boy is presented by Downtown Burbank Partnership, a non-profit organization. The event is an exciting showcase for custom, celebrity, exotics, and classic cars, and motorcycles.
These automotive masterpieces will stretch along San Fernando Boulevard and adjacent streets in Downtown Burbank’s outdoor shopping-dining and entertainment district.
People say, “It’s American Grafitti come to life.” Big-block Chevy’s. Hot Rod Lincolns. Leave the Hybrid at home. Happy days are here again thanks to Bob’s Big Boy® and the Road Kings of Burbank. Weekly cars shows are a slice of Americana, but no place does them quite like Bob’s Big Boy®, where the food is hot and the cars are hotter.

You will see Vintage Classics
Brian Wilson, the genius behind the Beach Boys, showed up to take in the little deuce coupes he used to sing about. And Jay Leno, well he’s more than just a regular.
In tune with Downtown Burbank’s location in the heart of the entertainment industry, vehicles with a “Hollywood” twist are especially welcome — such as those appearing in film or television, or having a distinguished history of celebrity ownership.
Every Friday from 4-10pm, Bob’s Big Boy® Burbank hosts Southern California’s best antique car show. Come see why we’ve become the center of the car-crazed universe. Included will be family entertainment, music, vendor-booths and prizes.
The event will happen rain or shine.
