Often referred to as "The People's Republic of Santa Monica," they manage their homeless population in unique ways. Meanwhile, they do have their touristy-type draws. The Newport Beach Fashion Island is also very interesting(it's where we first found the "Restoration Hardware" shop.) It's a walk, but it's colorful. Speaking of walk, don't walk the beach bike path, but buy, rent, or borrow bikes and do bike this path. You'll find walkers and skaters on it, but not too many since they know it is a bike only path. You can visit multiple California beaches in one day. Speaking of beaches, my sister is a big fan of kayaking, and one can also rent kayaks and paddle around various sites(I've not the upper body strength for that sort of thing, but my daughters enjoy going on these jaunts.) This Saturday, they'll be at Alamitos Bay at 10:00 a.m. Other beaches are available, and one kayak route(I'm told) even has a paddle-up Starbucks. No word on where one takes the bladder afterwards, tho. Up here in Claremont(eastern edge of L.A. County), in the north end of the city, we have our own "Wilderness Trail" which really does loop thru the foothills. While it's not as much "wilderness" as one might think(given all the folks on it in the morning), it does have wildlife(that come down to visit at night and dine with us) and connects to a veer off trail that goes to the top of Potato Mountain(they really named it that.) You left Knott's Berry Farm out of the Theme Park list, and that's my personal favorite(I like the up and down rides, mainly). Instead of a Dodger's Game, I recommend driving a bit farther to Rancho Cucamonga and seeing a Quakes game. It's A level baseball and they put on more of a show as a result. And home runs there are a hoot. Save the Universal Studios until Halloween; then you get more than your money's worth. Also within reach are the Getty Museum, which is pay-for parking and free admission(!) Really. And they let folks bring their picnic lunches(but the food they sell there is pretty good, too). A site that is also cool but does not let one bring food in is the Arboretum in Arcadia: be prepared to walk, tho you'll recognize the lake and house from a zillion TV shows.

How long are they visiting?... you've already got a good 6 days of activity, there, considering Disneyland takes a minimum of 2 days to get anything like comprehensive coverage in the off season, and most likely 4 in the busy season.if you WANT more theme park action, you can add in Knotts Berry Farm, and Six Flags Magic Mountain/Hurricane Harborthere's also the LaBrea tar pits, all the major movie theatres, as max20 says, tons of restaurants star tours of the Hollywood hills, and millions of other things to do.
