When you're looking for something to do for fun in Los Angeles there are more than enough options. And it would be impossible to list them all in a short article. You can spend a day at Disneyland with the family or head out on the town and visit some of the most famous clubs and nightspots in the country. But, Los Angeles can be a very expensive city for those that live there and those that are coming for a visit. And, while much of the city might be walking around with their Blackberry leather cases and not have to worry about the price of entertainment, you might be looking for something affordable to do. Here are some suggestions of free things to do for fun in Los Angeles.

Experience the weather and great outdoor life. Go to the beach or explore Griffith Park for a free adventure in Los Angeles. This city has over seventy-five miles of coastline, which is great whether you're looking for a place to surf, sunbathe or stroll. Griffith Park is the largest city park in the country and is over four thousand acres. You can plan a picnic or a cycling day trip. Instead of signing up for adult hockey camps to get some exercise, here you can participate in a number of activities for free.

Head out to a museum or the Los Angeles Public Library. Museums like the California Science Center, the Getty Center, and Cabrillo Marine Aquarium all host days where you can attend the exhibits for free. So, if you're looking to expand your horizons and learn something new, maybe you don't have to sign up for that faux finish workshop and can instead experience some interesting displays of art, science and nature. The building that houses the Los Angeles Public Library is as interesting as the things inside. It was built in the 1920s in the style of Egyptian architecture. The library has a wealth of information as well as many interesting special programs for adults and children to enjoy.

Check out some of the Hollywood sights. Even if you're living in Los Angeles and go past some of the Motion Picture landmarks every day, stop and see what they're really all about. Find your favorite star's name on the Walk of Fame or visit the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, which is one of the most popular free attractions in the city. You will see locals there as well as people in town learning English as a second language from across the globe.

These are just a few of the options for free entertainment in the city of Los Angeles. So, instead of getting a friend the same old gift certificate idea you thought of for them last year, maybe you should take them on a free adventure around the city.
