The Griffith Observatory is one of the largest in the country. At night you can stargaze from balconies on the outside of the building, as well as from on the roof. Face north in the parking lot and you will get a spectacular view of the Hollywood Sign. If it's a different type of star gazing you're looking for, then head into Hollywood itself.

Take Hollywood Boulevard approximately three blocks to Vine. At this famous intersection begins the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so named for the bronzed stars placed into the pavement that bear the name of a legendary entertainer in music, movies and television. The corner of Hollywood and Vine has as much mythology surrounding it as other Hollywood landmarks. In the past, studio executives operated the office buildings on each corner and it was thought that if young starlets spent their time hanging out around here, their chances for "discovery" were high. Unfortunately, none of this is true anymore. The Walk of Fame is lined with hundreds of souvenir shops and funky clothing boutiques. While you might not want to hang out here after the sun goes down, during the day it is a vibrant, eclectic and exciting part of the City of Angels. Continuing up Hollywood Boulevard you will come to Mann's Chinese Theater, more famous for the front courtyard than for any film ever shown there. The footprints and handprints outside include so many stars, and create such a stir, it's sometimes hard to squeeze your way in.
