More Free Things To Do in Los Angeles Today

Besides many free events listed in our Free LOS ANGELES Events TODAY calendar above, here are some more Free Things to Do in LA Today & Every Day:

Have a Picnic at the Hollywood Bowl
The Hollywood Bowl is free to roam as long as no events are taking place. Yes, that means guests are free to explore this iconic amphitheater tucked into the Hollywood Hills before settling down on a bench for a packed lunch. Just stay off the stage! 2301 North Highland Avenue, Los Angeles, CA | https://www.hollywoodbowl.com/visit

Pose for Photographs at the Korean Bell of Friendship
A true Pacific wonder, the Korean Bell of Friendship is a pagoda-like structure located inside Angel's Gate Park in the San Pedro neighborhood of Los Angeles. Flying kites next to this gesture of good will that was gifted to the city by South Korea in 1976 is a rite of passage. 3601 South Gaffey Street, Los Angeles, CA

Track Down the Hollywood Sign
How do you find the Hollywood Sign? While there are several routes to take, most people suggest using the Beachwood Drive path. Once you arrive, simply follow the trail leading to Sunset Ranch and Hollyridge Trail until you've reached the pavement at Mount Lee Drive. This leads directly to a clear view of the sign!

Shop on Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard is the glitzy, edgy epicenter of the classic Hollywood scene. While visiting this iconic 22-mile stretch running through Hollywood and Beverly Hills before hitting the Pacific Ocean, be sure to check out the many celeb-approved restaurants and nightclubs whipping by. This happens to be one of the hottest spots for star sightings after dark!

See a Show Taping
Los Angeles is one of the best spots in the world to see television shows taped lived! Production studios offer free tickets to stock their live studio audiences. Take your pick from late-night talk shows, daytime talk shows, sitcoms, and more! Just be sure to check for free ticket opportunities online ahead of time.

Take a Picture in Front of the Real Lebowski House
The house featured in "The Big Lebowski" is actually a 16-acre estate called Greystone Mansion that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Beverly Hills allows visitors to tour the exterior of the home for free. In addition to being the setting for music videos for Elton John, Mariah Carey, and Van Halen, this mansion has also been a filming location for dozens of movies and television shows. It was famously used as the campus of Chilton Academy in "Gilmore Girls."

See the Urban Lights at LACMA
The gorgeous urban light installation that gives Wilshire Boulevard a "glow up" is totally free to visit. Erected in 2008, this piece of living art consists of restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. The juxtaposition of larger-than-life lights running linear to palm trees creates a photo opportunity to remember! 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

Discover the Los Angeles River
The "LA River" offers exceptional paths for walking, jogging, and cycling. Follow the 11-mile Glendale Narrows section for a scenic journey offering picturesque views of rarely seen natural landscapes. The unpaved riverbed of Glendale Narrows makes it a top spot for wildlife sightings! https://lariver.org/explore-la-river

Climb to Floor 20 of City Hall
There's a free observation deck at Los Angeles City Hall that's open on weekdays! The top offers rare 360-degree views of the city. While standing 454 feet above the city on the deck, guests are actually in the tallest base-isolated structure in the world. 200 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA

Climb to the Top Deck of Dodger Stadium
A little-known Los Angeles fact is that the upper deck at Dodger Stadium is open to the public free of charge on all non-game days. The stadium store is also open daily. Take in views, have a picnic, and bask in sport's history glory in the company of other self-guided tourists. 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
