Grandchildren who can’t wait for their driver’s licenses will love this three story museum devoted to cars and car culture. LA’s history is traced through its relationship to the auto industry. There are hot-rods and Model-T's, custom cars and the former LA trolley system’s Red Cars. The third floor is geared specifically to kids, with hands-on exhibits that let them climb in the driver’s seat.

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10am to 6pm, closed Monday
