Also downtown is the historic Angel’s Flight cable car, “The shortest railway in the world”, connecting 351 South Hill Street to 350 South Grand Avenue.
For cars, try the newly remodeled Peterson Automotive Museum on Wilshire across from LACMA, www.petersen.org .
To see cargo ships in the harbor, watch the giant cranes in San Pedro as they off-load their cargo (http://www.sanpedro.com/).
Don’t forget our own Marina del Rey’s sailboats, daily crew team workouts and the various fishing crafts.
Workshops for Kids
Every Saturday at Lowe's and Home Depot stores:
From project basics to giving your child the opportunity to say, "I built it!", the Build and Grow kid's clinics are a great way to help build confidence! Bring the kids into any Lowe's or Home Depot store and build a FREE wooden project. Each participant also receives a free apron, goggles, a project themed patch, and a certification of merit upon completion of their project.
Call your local store for times and dates.
