Hollywood Bowl

If you're a fan of music on any level, you must visit the Hollywood Bowl. The Hollywood Bowl always has a varied, exciting program schedule, especially their summer concert series. This year, they had everything from video game music, to Disneyland music, to Tchaikovsky and others. The great thing about the bowl is that you can get tickets anywhere from $4.00 to $120.00 depending on how close to the stage you want to be. And even in the $4.00 section, the sound is beautiful, you just might need binoculars to see anyone on the stage. You can also bring picnic baskets in and have some great food or wine while you're enjoying the show. WARNING: The parking at the Hollywood Bowl is HORRENDOUS. The only type of parking they have on-site is "stacked" parking, where you are pinned in and you have to wait for everyone ahead of you to leave before you can. You really should park somewhere off-site and use the Metro transit to get to the bowl. Pro-Tip: Get on the metro red-line and get off at the Hollywood & Vine station. There is a shuttle that leaves every 15-30 minutes for 3 hours before the show starts that will take you right to the gates of the Hollywood Bowl. Afterwards, you can either take the shuttle back or walk to the Hollywood & Highland metro station which is about a 15 minutes downhill walk. If you park at the Bowl, you'll be waiting for hours to leave.
