15 things you can do in Los Angeles that are under $25.
Everyone always says that Los Angeles is so overpriced that you have nothing to do if you have a smaller budget. That is not true. Let me prove my point with these things that you can do if you only have $25 or less.
I would like to start by saying that Los Angeles is such an amazing and beautiful city that there are a lot of things that you can do for free. For example, visit all one of the beaches in LA. You will instantly fall in love with the blue waves. It is especially gorgeous during a sunrise or a sunset. Trust me, no money will buy you a memory like this.
1. The first thing you can do will cost you only $10 an hour. Interested? You can rent a bike to explore the streets of LA. It is a good physical activity as well as a great way to get acquainted with the city. You can check out different parts of the city in one day.

2. Visit the California Science Center for $11-$16. It offers fun interactive exhibits that can be very informative for you. Not only you will have a great time, but you will learn about human inventions and innovations. The themes of the exhibits change so you can visit more than once.
3. If you haven't already, you should visit Pink's hotdogs. This place is a #1 spot. Most of the items on the menu are under $10 and it is worth every penny. Since opening in 1939 this place has been serving the most delicious food in LA. It has very unique names for the special dishes and a 9″ stretch hot dog.

4. TCL Chinese Theatres is a historic site right next to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nearly 200 Hollywood celebrity handprints, footprints, and autographs are in the concrete of the theater forecourt. You can visit this historic place for only $20.

5. Take your friends and a car, chip in, and enjoy a fun ride through a Happy place. It is a drive-through experience you will never forget. There are over 18 unique and vibrant exhibits, designed to embrace and accentuate experiencing the event being enjoyed from your vehicle.

9. Firefax flea market is a sale that takes place in the parking lot at Fairfax High School on the weekends. Here you can find a well-edited selection of vintage clothing, records, furniture, plants, jewelry, random knick-knacks, and quirky antique treasures. Sone of the things may be expensive, but if you dig deep enough you can find some great stuff and good prices.

10. The Skyslide at OUE Skyspace Los Angeles. Daily admission to OUE Skyspace L.A. is $25 and Skyslide passes are available for $8, with group admission also available. This experience is with every penny. It is a 45 feet long glass slide nearly 1,000 feet above the city

11. If you are not a big bike fan, rent a car on Turo for only $25. It is a perfect way to go further from the city and visit the best places. Imagine a ride with a view of the ocean and the beautiful skyline of Los Angeles. You can take beautiful pictures and remember this day for the rest of your life.
12. Greystone is one of the largest mansions in Beverly Hills and an important landmark for American cinema. This place represents a big part of American cinema. Many films, including "The Big Lebowski" and "Ghostbusters," and television shows like "General Hospital" and "Gilmore Girls" have been shot on these gothic-inspired grounds. The prices can vary, but the middle is $20.

13. You should definitely visit Rodeo drive for some luxury items, but don't miss out on all of the vintage and thrift shops. I recommend you go on Yelp and pick out the best places. However, don't forget about that feeling of finding a great shopping place when you least expect it.

14. A visit to La Brea Tar Pits is great for kids and adults. The tickets start at $15 for adults. At first sight, it may seem like a place for children, however, everyone gets excited while visiting it. The adjoining museum houses many of the artifacts found at the tar pits; consequently, it is home to one of the largest collections of Ice Age fossils in the world.

15. If you are looking for a place to relax, sunbathe and swim, Venice is not the right place. On the other hand, Zuma beach is what you are looking for. It is a 1.8-mile beach with awesome waves, great food, parking and lifeguard.
