After a busy day of whale watching, being part of a TV show taping, sampling the delights of Olvera St. and Chinatown, photographing Union Station, visiting a movie studio backlot and seeing the La Brea Tar Pits, its time to be pampered at a spa.

The La Brea Tar Pits, Petersen Automotive Museum, Craft & Folk Art Museum, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art are all shoulder-to-shoulder in the heart of L.A.
