TRAVEL. CAPTURE. CREATE. ThereGoesSaraRose.com
Welcome to another adventure in my travel blog! Here I, Sara Rose, share my experiences and recommendations for amazing destinations around The West Coast, the United States, and someday the World. Today, let’s dive into the vibrant and diverse Exposition Park located in Los Angeles, California. My last day in Los Angeles made me nostalgic and the need for something familiar! I needed a museum. It was a last minute decision to visit this wonderful era but had been pulling on my memory since my last visit, when I was 12-years-old.
I visited during lockdown, check current guidelines for the most up-to-date travel information.
Discovering the Cultural Gems
Exposition Park is home to several renowned cultural institutions, including the California Science Center, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and the California African American Museum. Immerse yourself in fascinating exhibits, interactive displays, and educational programs that cater to all ages. As a child, I have fond memories of visiting the California Science Center and being amazed by the hands-on exhibits that allowed me to learn while having fun with family.

Enjoying the Outdoors
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and unwind in the beautiful outdoor spaces within Exposition Park. Take a leisurely stroll through the Rose Garden, a picturesque oasis filled with vibrant blooms and tranquil pathways. The park also features the Exposition Park Rose Garden Amphitheater, which hosts various events and concerts throughout the year. Walking theough such an enchanted space gave me serious, “Paint the Roses red vibes!” Check out my next blog to see WHY! Source: Exposition Park
Sports Enthusiast’s Paradise

Catch an exhilarating football game at the Coliseum or cheer for your favorite soccer team at the Banc of California Stadium.
