The Griffith Observatory is a great place to hang out with friends. From gazing into indoor starlights to hanging out with Einstein, there are so many things to view when wandering about. Not only will you get to beat the heat, but also the information provided is so fun, you will want to learn more about the properties of the sun or perhaps buy a souvenir at the gift shop.

What other place to hang out with friends than at Point Fermin Park, which is home to non-other than the Korean Bell of Friendship? Located in an elevated area, you are able to get an overview of San Pedro and glimpse over the clear blue ocean. Close by is Point White Nature Preserve, a nature center that is definitely worth checking out.

The UCLA Marina Aquatic Center is the place you want to be if you love being in the water. You rent out a kayak and paddle within the area, and you also get a chance to work out your arms. This is open to the public so feel free to bring in some non-Bruin friends for a fun time.

Another aquatic area would be to visit Echo Park Lake. You can take a ride on a pedal boat and enjoy the surrounding nature. From watching a family of ducks to the plants that grow in the water, there is always something interesting that happens on the lake. Best of all, you get to enjoy some mist from the fountain that is placed within the lake. Cash only.
