  Hanging out in Pasadena for 9 Days? Hello everyone My friend and I are flying from Australia to LA for about a week from the end of april to the first week of may. Just wondering if you guys had some recommendations. I did a few google searches already but I thought it would be better to ask some locals. We like museums, art galleries, science, op shopping/used bookstores, and if you have any good cafe/restaurant recommendations please throw em out there. Thanks.

  [NASA's JPL offers public tours](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/tours/views) if that's something you're into. [Ice House Comedy club](https://icehousecomedy.com/) if you need a late night laugh. [Pie 'n Burger](http://pienburger.com/) is a nice breakfast or burger spot, sadly never had the pie. It's also pretty close to [Huntington Garden.](https://www.huntington.org/) [There is a lot of public art throughout Pasadena as well.](https://ww5.cityofpasadena.net/planning/arts-and-cultural-affairs/public-art-program/) You'll notice it walking through Old Town, cutting through the alleys, etc...

  Non-Commercial Tourist Spots in LA/OC SOS Hi all! I’ll be a designated “tour guide” for a tourist coming here to LA/OC. The tourist wants to go to places where it is “non-commercial”. Does anyone have/know any suggestions/tourist spots where I could take my visitor out in LA/OC Area? PS: totally have no idea bc LA and OC are both generally commercial places.

  [The Getty](http://www.getty.edu/) is great but temporarily closed because of the fires. [The Huntington](http://www.huntington.org/) is very nice and not close to the fires. Also recommend [The Autrey Museum of the American West](https://theautry.org/) and [The Nethercutt Collection](http://www.nethercuttcollection.org/), both on the 818 side of town and not too close to the Sylmar fire.

  Things To Do Help!! I have family coming into town for my 21st birthday, woot woot, in May on a Wednesday-Sunday. It's my mother & grandmother. I need help finding things to do that are worth our time! I get so overwhelmed trying to plan things because there are just too many options. We aren't huge fans of museums, gardens, or hikes and I doubt they want to do amusement parks. We like shopping, live music, new restaurants, and classy drinking lol (nothing wild). Any recommendations would be so grateful & helpful. Thank you in advance!

  Bridal shoot locations in Orange County, CA Can anyone recommend a good place for a bridal shoot in Orange County? We don't have much of a budget, trying to keep it under $200. Fullerton arboretum is in the lead. This place was out of our budget, http://www.kimberlycrest.org/

  Anything with an interesting environment for the couples, that's affordable. These are places we are researching. Some places require insurance, which we don't have. Huntington library/botanical gardens over $2,500 http://www.huntington.org/ Richard Nixon library http://www.nixonlibraryfoundation.org/ Casa romantica http://www.casaromantica.org/ San Juan Capistrano mission http://www.missionsjc.com/ Heritage Museum http://www.heritagemuseumoc.org/ Now that I'm learning all about permits, advice I've been given: 03.012.2010 Griffith Observatory $450 per day, $38 escort fee per hour Laguna Beach Permit 2 hours $50 for 1 location El Matador Beach State Parks $65 El Centro District BLM... Imperial Sand Dunes $240 "Join the PPA, you'll have access to insurance agencies able to set you up with the $1,000,000 liability policy for as little as $300 per year. " "Since you are just starting out, I suggest that you contact the Pasadena Film Office for location suggestions, they have favorable student-type rates that you may qualify for. They also book the courtyard garden at Pasadena City Hall. Contact them at 626-744-3964, or at www.filmpasadena.com "
