While L.A. has plenty of experiences and events to delight in, there’s nothing like finding that perfect thing to do with your bestie. That’s why we put a short list of some things to do in the City of Angels that give off heavy BFF vibes! Whether you’re foodies, music lovers, or art enthusiasts, there’s something for every best friend out there.
1. Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience
If you and your bestie are art lovers, look no further than this awe-inspiring immersive exhibition displaying Vincent Van Gogh’s spectacular works in a unique way. The 360º digital art exhibition has dazzled visitors worldwide and now you can experience it with one of your favorite people. This VR experience features digital displays, sound effects, and projection mapping to present a one-of-a-kind exhibition of the Dutch painter’s famous pieces.
2. Develop a new skill
Improve together at a workshop or course in Los Angeles. From artisan ravioli making to classes in the art of French pastry, there are plenty of options to choose from depending on your level and skillset. Become wine connoisseurs with a wine tasting, make empanadas, and discover everything the city’s masters have to offer.
3. Bubble World Experience
The ‘Bubble World’ experience invites you and your best friend to unleash your inner child through 10+ immersive rooms! Each with a unique theme, the different spaces feature ball pits, VR tech, simulators and illusions that will transport you to another universe where senses are heightened. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to snap photos for your personal collection (because real besties only have a couple photos together and that needs to change). Oversized bubbles, balloons and soap? Sounds like the perfect summer day! Grab your ticket for Bubble World.
4. Taste adventure at Dining in the Dark
Dining in the Dark invites adventurous epicureans to put their taste buds to the test while enjoying a three-course meal with a twist. Upon entering the restaurant, guests will be handed a blindfold and brought to their table. Given that you’ll be with your best friend, you shouldn’t be too embarrassed when it comes to searching for your cutlery in the dark or trying to bring the food to your mouth!
5. Dinos Alive
What’s more unexpected than seeing walking dinosaurs right here, in L.A.? At Dinos Alive, no more than 80 specimens from the Jurassic come back to life. Come face-to-face with T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Velociraptors and so many more dinos in their natural habitat at 1345 N. Montebello Boulevard.
Plus, you’ll get to interact with sea giants in a virtual aquarium, inquire about the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and experience life in the Jurassic through realistic VR. It’s simply dino-mite (we had to), so grab your tickets here.
6. Attend a Candlelight concert
The Candlelight series is illuminating several venues across Los Angeles. Listen to some of your favorite music while sitting surrounded by the warm glow of countless flickering candles. From tributes to timeless composers to concerts celebrating modern-day icons like Taylor Swift and Adele, Candlelight has something for everyone.
