I put this in Sightseeing, because when I go I rarely look at the art - or its a side note for me. Best Views in LA!! and oh yah its an art museum too. But the real art is the architecture and the 1 billion it took to build. Parking is about $15-20 but admission is free (so you can walk in for free if you take the bus or Uber

Temescal Canyon is the locals place to take a hike. Free parking on Temescal Canyon before Sunset Blvd. Walk into park and keep going all the way up the canyon past the cute buildings. Or drive in and park for about $5-10 and save yourself 5 minutes off the hike. Several options for hiking - but I just go straight back and walk up to the bridge in the trail (In Winter/Spring small creek/ water fall)
