fokuhila:“The environment is good, there are many animals inside, and the popular science education is really great. For me, if I am not in a hurry, I can soak in it for a whole day. You must go to the parrot garden inside. After buying nectar, they will automatically fly over. It is recommended to go in and walk to the middle and cover it with your hand, otherwise the old parrot will eat all your portion in one breath!”

Anonymous user:“We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.”

学校🏫:“Key highlights: 1. The legendary Santa Monica Pier: Pacific Park is a seaside playground located on the pier! The colorful solar-powered Ferris wheel is an absolute landmark. When it rises to its highest point, you can see the panoramic view of the sea, sky and city, especially at sunset. The romantic value is off the charts. The exciting roller coaster roars over the Pacific Ocean, and screams and the sound of waves are intertwined. History and feelings: The old pier built in 1909 is itself a historical relic, and the creaking wooden boardwalk is full of traces of time. This is the legendary end of Route 66, and the famous "End of the Trail" sign is a must-see. * Street art and performances: Street artists often perform on the pier and pier (music, juggling, performance art), full of unexpected fun. 2. Vibrant seaside atmosphere: Third Street Pedestrian Street: Close to the beach, a world-renowned pedestrian shopping and dining street. Brand stores, specialty shops, restaurants and cafes are lined up, and street performers are constantly performing. The bustling vitality extending from the beach to the city is seamlessly connected. Bicycle Path and Skateboard Culture The wide and flat seaside bicycle path is the best way to experience the coastline (car rental is available). The skateboard park is full of masters, showing California's unique street sports culture. Muscle Beach: Outdoor fitness area on the south side of the pier, watch the strong men and hot girls show their muscles, practice gymnastics, and experience California's healthy and sunny lifestyle. 3. Classic California Seaside Experience Watching the sunset: The pier is a great place to enjoy the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. The silhouette of the Ferris wheel is set against the sunset sky, and the atmosphere is full. Beach Walk and Leisure: The beach is wide, suitable for walking, sunbathing (bring your own blanket), and watching surfers chasing waves. But the sand is coarse, the sea water is cool and the waves are big, and the pure swimming experience is average”

西溪老翁:“Long Beach is a city located in southern California on the west coast of the United States. According to population ranking, Long Beach is the second largest city in the Greater Los Angeles area (with a population of about 500,000), second only to Los Angeles, and the fifth largest city in California. The Port of Long Beach is one of the top ten ports with the highest throughput in the world. The oil industry is also very important in this city; Long Beach's oil is mainly developed underground and offshore. Long Beach is one of the more famous beaches in Southern California, second only to Santa Monica. On weekdays, not many people go to Long Beach, but on weekends, the beach is full of people, many people sunbathe, play in the water, surf or dive on the beach.”

Yee11:“Managed to catch some big superstar for Lakers outside the arena. Pretty upset as NBA regular season is ended when I visited in June and no playoff games at the time hence I wasn’t able to watch the game in the arena but I’m sure I will be back some day again to watch a NBA game.”
