This blog is a late post about my trip to Los Angeles in the winter of 2022. We decided to undertake various activities in Los Angeles, including the LA Coliseum and the California Science Center, walking down Hollywood Boulevard, and visiting multiple natural beaches. All these activities were a lot of fun, but I also learned a lot about Los Angeles as a city while we were there.
The Los Angeles Coliseum hosted the
1932 and 1984 Olympics and will also hold the 2028 Olympics. This 100+ year legacy
stadium has an honor wall honoring the athletes and countries who have won
specific Olympic events in that stadium.
There were no games at the time, but we got to
view the stadium and learn about its history. Apart from the Olympic games, LA
Coliseum has also served as a baseball stadium for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a football
stadium for the Los Angeles Rams, and many more leagues. It now hosts
collegiate football games for the University of Southern California Trojans. I
was amazed by the legacy and splendor of the stadium.
California Science Center is a popular tourist
attraction because it is the only museum in the world with a space shuttle that
has traveled to the moon. Endeavour has completed 25 missions, the most recent
of which was in May 2011. We could observe the shuttle and closely examine the amazing
machine which has accomplished so much in its lifetime. We watched two scientific
films in the theatre. One was about the scientists who discovered evolution,
and the other was about how to avert an asteroid from hitting Earth. California
Science Center has a lot packed for a day trip. It’s a must-see for adults and
kids when visiting LA.
