Go to the beach. Everywhere is perfect for strolling or rent a bike. You can either get an Uber or go by bus. To get to the bus take the parking lot shuttle, the bus station is at the back of the parking lot. Buses are cheap, safe and easy. Do a bit of research, every beach from Redondo up to Santa Monica is a bit different in atmosphere. Manhatten Beach is upscale with an interesting little aquarium at the end of the pier. Venice is scuzzy, lots of homeless but the beach is interesting in its craziness, particularly around Muscle beach, and the Venice Canals area is delightful, Santa Monica has everything. |
Tar Pits?
I have never made it to La Brea Tar Pits. I understand the museum will be closed tomorrow (1/1/19), but are the grounds open? Can you see & smell the bubbling gooey mess even if the museum is closed? Ok, so you can probably smell it from blocks away, but can you visit on a museum holiday?

Hi,
I wonder what the OP ended up doing as he was going to be in LAX last november? regards TBS |
I'll be passing through LAX this evening with about a 4 hour connection. While I've been travelling fairly regularly throughout the pandemic, I haven't had any connections this long and given the current state of Covid in southern CA, the idea of spending 4 hours sitting indoors in the lounge or terminal doesn't sound too appealing. Can anyone think of somewhere outdoors that's a relatively short walk from T2 that might be a good spot to hang out and kill some time? It's mostly a concrete jungle out there but maybe there's an area away from the hustle and bustle of shuttle buses and Ubers that could work?

It is a few years away, but the DL SkyClub will have a SkyDeck, I think.:) |
Hi TuxTom,
We have a thread with suggestions of what to do during layovers at LAX (The consolidated "What to do on a layover at LAX" thread), unfortunately, due to technical issues I am not able to access it right now. I am not hopeful that this problem will be resolved over the weekend. Many here suggest plane spotting at the little park near the In-N-Out. It's about a 20 minutes walk, one mile, from T2. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...60f7febef3.jpg |

Maybe adjacent to the pet relief areas -- probably close to the roads, but.... https://www.dogjaunt.com/2011/03/pet...l-airport-lax/

Here's a path map: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a256384ecf.jpg Red is Terminal 2. Blue is the path. Green is the space. Here's two additional views: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...75209b971f.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a0be6216b9.jpg 3D view looks from the east back across the outside memorial space and toward Terminal 2.

If you wanna stretch you can just walk along century by Hyatt towards marriott. It's 80F here now prob a bit cooler by LAX - perfect for a stroll...
if staying indoors - TBIT should not be crowded - kinda interesting to take a look what flights are operating If no specific plans do all FTers here a favor ;) - check clarity labs covid testing site in T6 arrivals - supposedly they started doing 3 hr turnaround pcr there (vs 24-48 hr in tbit) |
