Looking for the best things to do in Los Angeles? We have you covered with the very best that L.A. has to offer. I’m a Los Angeles native and have lived here all my life, and take it from me: There’s always more to discover and explore. Whether you’re a culture vulture, an outdoorsy type or simply a lover of our fine city, you’ll find more than enough here to keep you busy. Even lifelong Angelenos can find something new to add to their to-do list, between the city’s landmark attractions, an ever-changing inventory of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, essential L.A. museums and even some off-the-beaten path secrets. How many of the best things to do in Los Angeles will you try?
June 2025: Summer is upon us—you can tell by the multitude of outdoor events popping up. I’ve included some of our favorites in this month’s list, from Friday Night Wine Tastings at Barnsdall Art Park to a host of free concerts at museums and parks across the city. Also on our list is free Shakespeare at Griffith Park, the start of the LA Phil’s Hollywood Bowl season and Twilight Strolls at the Huntington. Another local June tradition, albeit not alfresco, is L.A. Conservancy’s Last Remaining Seats, which restores Downtown’s movie palaces to their former glory. And, of course, June is Pride Month—even after the L.A. Pride parade wraps up, you’ll find lots of events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community at Dodger Stadium, Disneyland and more throughout the month.
Note: In the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires, we’ve temporarily removed the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine, Temescal Gateway Park and Eaton Canyon Falls from our list, as at press time the beloved L.A. attractions were still closed.
