People may come to Los Angeles for the weather but stay for endless adventure even in January. From parades and ice-skating to holiday-themed theater productions and enchanting botanical gardens, it's no wonder why "La La Land" is one of the top spots for beating the winter vacation blues. Popular outdoor activities include theme parks, scenic hiking spots, Hollywood's Walk of Fame, the Griffith Observatory, and skiing at Big Bear Lake. And if temperatures dip too low, there are plenty of shopping centers to explore and cozy restaurants for diverse dining experiences. There's always something going on in LA, so check back for the City of Angels' next big event.
Los Angeles boasts plenty of spectacular parks, and January is perfect for folks to spend quality time with Mother Nature. Grab your favorite book and lose yourself reading at one of the magnificent yet smaller, green spaces, such as the Amir's Garden in Griffith Park or the gardens at Casita del Arroyo.
