There are so many places that I love or would love to visit in Southern California and this is at the top of my list. The Los Angeles Maritime Museum is the largest Maritime Museum in California. It’s home to more than 700 ship and boat models, navigation equipment and an operating amateur radio station. The museum is currently home to 5 exhibits that are sure to be a hit with your family. The current exhibits on display are 20,000 jobs under the sea, Neptune’s Favorites, USS Los Angeles, Caught, Canned and Eaten and The Long Beach Earthquake 1933. My children love ships and anything that is related to sea life and if you or your kids love ships this place is a must. The best part is that the museum is free for children, $1.00 for Senior Citizens and Youth and $3.00 for adults. Here’s an insider tip that will delight the kiddies- take a spin on the Port of Los Angeles Waterfront Red Car line. With a stop in front of the maritime museum- this 1920’s era trolley – is a must ride. Fare is $1.00 for everyone with children 6 and under free. The fare is collected on board and is good all day for unlimited rides. I will be doing a more extensive review of the trolley and museum next week. If you’re looking for something fun and inexpensive to do this week look no further, you’ve found it!!
