Here are once-in-a-lifetime things to do in Los Angeles that you can’t experience anywhere else in the world.

Visit Disneyland
You can find Disney products and Disney’s influence all over the globe, but there are only six resorts worldwide. Located in Anaheim, about an hour south of Los Angeles, is Disneyland. This is the first theme park opened by The Walt Disney Company, and the only one designed and constructed under the direct supervision of Walt Disney.
Disneyland is smaller than Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, but don’t let its size deter you from making the trip. It has attractions the resort in Orlando doesn’t have, including Avengers Camp, Cars Land, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Pixar Pal-A-Round and It’s a Small World. Disneyland is also the only Disney Park to feature New Orleans Square, which pays homage to one of the places Walt Disney loved the most.
Take Pictures At Homes From Popular TV Shows
HBO Insecure fans, this one is for you! You can visit Issa and Lawrence’s first apartment on the show in Los Angeles. Plug in The Dunes, located at 709 N Inglewood Ave in Inglewood, and visit the iconic filming location.
Other homes you can find in Los Angeles, include the Thriller House from Michael Jackson’s video. You can find it near Dodger Stadium. The Thompson home from the 1984 film “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is located in Hollywood at 1428 Genessee Avenue.
