Griffith Park

For our Eastside readers, nothing helps a person destress more over than hearing the calming sound of the Planetarium announcer explain our solar system within the Griffith Park Observatory to remind us how deeply insignificant our problems are in comparison to the expansiveness of our solar system. Also, with over 53 Hiking trails you can choose your own adventure for duration of the day by checking out the Hollywood sign or even feel the haunting chills of the old abandoned Zoo!
