We have already been to Disneyland, Universal Studios and we have already cruised down Hollywood Boulevard on a separate trip. What are some other things to do for a week in Los Angeles? Any other studio tours that we should see? Any cool shopping malls? Etc.?

What about getting tickets to see a show being filmed or a talk show…like the Tonight Show. Depending on when you're going, if you like baseball, it'll be baseball season pretty soon and you could go to a Dodgers game.

You could go to the wax museum! I had a lot of fun there. I think there are also tours where you go on a bus and get to drive by celebrity homes, if you're into that. And I've heard that the Grove(shopping mall) is a really nice. All the celebs go there too!
