Take in the most iconic views in the city as the sun starts to set and take stunning photos to share with your friends and family or post to social media.
Rusty Wallace Racing Experience
Thrill seekers living in and visiting Los Angeles will love the opportunity to drive a stock car at the Auto Club Speedway. Choose from four racing experiences: a three-lap taste, six-lap qualifier, 10-lap shootout, or a two-hour experience with a pre-drive orientation and instruction. All supplied cars have previously raced in one of the top two stock car racing series, and features an in-car radio with a dedicated professional spotter. Without a pace car, you get to set your own pace, and passing is encouraged. Check out the largest racing experience with over 200,000 participants in the last four years!
For an experience unlike any other, check out the Oue Skyspace and Skyslide. For breathtaking, panoramic views of Los Angeles, there is no better vantage point than the view from 1,000 feet in the sky. Open daily, general admission includes 30 minutes of timed entry with access to all four levels of the building, including two outdoor observation terraces. Opt for the Skyslide combo to get access to what’s offered with general admission, but also a Skyslide ride! The slide is 45 feet long, and is the perfect way to see the city of Los Angeles with a thrilling twist.
If the Skyslide wasn’t a thrilling enough option, there’s another way to get your blood pumping and adrenaline rushing. Great Horror Movie Night takes place almost every Friday night from March through May, showing films like Leprechaun, John Carpenter’s The Thing, and the original Halloween. Shown in the abandoned Old Griffith Park Zoo, the Great Horror Movie Night is the ideal date night for horror movie fans or a group outing with friends. Tickets can be purchased individually, in pairs, or in four-packs. If you want to have the scare of your life and watch classic, bone-chilling horror films, this is one experience not to miss!
