Chris Cookson: Don't be fooled by the last commenter. I have seen both indoor and outdoor shows here. Its on the description for each show. Drink minimum on their cheaper shows amounts to $12 if you have a soda.

Movie Theater · South Park · 144 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: 4DX is expensive but it's a real trip and absolutely worth it if you haven't tried it before. The motion can be a bit aggressive so I recommend picking a shorter popcorn movie.
3865 Cardiff Ave (at Culver Blvd), Culver City, CA
Italian Restaurant · Downtown Culver City · 50 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: Nice little authentic Italian spot. Their authentically certified Neapolitan Pizzas are available on their Happy Hour menu. Lots of variety to pick from and their pasta and pastries are all great.
Pizza Place · Downtown Culver City · 2 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: Really nice spot!! if you are out late, keep an eye on the Too Good to Go app. You can get a few slices for five bucks and they'll even heat it up for you. Can't pick the slices but a good deal.
Nightclub · Central Hollywood · 17 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: Fun place, not a lot of other bars like it. For a place as scary as it looks on the outside, people are all really kind and friendly. Wear your best chains and chokers.
1614 Santa Monica Blvd (at 16th St), Santa Monica, CA
Donut Shop · 92 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: Really fun donut shop with tons of varieties to choose from, all at affordable prices. Was predominantly featured in the Hulu documentary The Donut King and is a fascinating AAPI watch.
4722 1/4 Admiralty Way (at Fiji Way), Marina del Rey, CA
Sushi Restaurant · 118 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: Yeah, I know I'm basic but it is really good. Just order the Trust Me, I had the mid-sized one and was properly full afterwards. Really fun to have multiple courses come out at once.
Chris Cookson: Gorgeous pool, be wary of leaving your stuff out on the ground. There will be a lot of people cannonballing and it will get everything wet with the low bevel design.
8039 Beach Blvd (Knott's Berry Farm Marketplace), Buena Park, CA
Fried Chicken Joint · 96 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: The dinner combo is huge, it's a lot of food for the money. Try to go on somewhat an empty stomach. Probably not a good idea to go to a roller coaster filled amusement park while full of boysenberries
5220 Lankershim Blvd (at Magnolia Blvd.), North Hollywood, CA
General Entertainment · 9 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: If you know someone who is a member there are some nice free or cheap screenings here on their Dolby Cinema screen. Otherwise, it's really nice to check out the statues and busts in front of this spot
Chris Cookson: a little tricky to find in the mall but worth it. It's in a nice corner of the Century City Mall which is away from a lot of the crowds. Great place to take someone looking for something more healthy.
Chris Cookson: Take pictures of the shoes you like and talk to the person behind the counter. You can try on a lot of shoes in various sizes. Shoes are stylish and comfortable.
Chris Cookson: If a screening you want to see is sold-out or doesn't have good seats be sure to check the app about an hour before the showtime. Usually that's when people start canceling tickets and seats open up.
10200 Venice Blvd Ste 207 (Vinton), Culver City, CA
Thai Restaurant · 8 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: The lunch combo is a really good deal, one of the few non-fast food places in the area where you can eat for under $10. Restaurant has a nice view of Venice Boulevard.
Theme Park Ride / Attraction · 21 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: The spot where you smell the cookies on the roller coaster is an actual hot cookie stand right by the ride. Definitely as delicious as it smells. Be sure to go on single rider for a much faster wait.
1313 Disneyland Dr (at Disney California Adventure Park), Anaheim, CA
Art Gallery · The Anaheim Resort · 9 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: a nice, under looked section of the park, enjoy some nice air conditioning and get a chance to draw. May not be as exciting as the Incredicoaster but a nice place to catch your breath.
Golden Vine Winery, Pacific Wharf (at Disney California Adventure Park), Anaheim, CA
Italian Restaurant · The Anaheim Resort · 101 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: The three course meal with priority seating for World of Color is worth it. Loved my Shrimp Alfredo and Italian Wedding Soup. A little more expensive than a la carte but fountain view is really nice.
Theme Park Ride / Attraction · The Anaheim Resort · 46 tips and reviews
Chris Cookson: See if you can get a scheduled reservation on Genie+, it's worth the $20 if the park is moderately crowded. If you can't this has a really fun line queue.
