Between the California Science Center, the IMAX theater, the Museum of Aerospace, this place was a dreamland for me as a child. Coming back years later, however, I realized the neighborhood isn't the greatest. The park itself is a bit dreary, even on sunny days, and outside the comforts of the different buildings, there's almost a sense of rushing from one place to another. Theres a McDonald's here.

Just south of the University of Southern California campus, this park is a gorgeous spot for lunch or a stroll before a game at the Coliseum or between museum visits. (The Museum of Science and Industry, the Natural History Museum the African-American History Museum are all nearby.) The park's rose garden has hundreds of varieties, making it a popular place for weddings. When I was in school at 'SC, this was a favorite place for a study break.
Pros: Rose garden, Museums
Cons: Parking
