![]() ![]() There is a nice sized walkway that takes you from the Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach so we opted to park right in the middle in a large parking lot – you do have to pay for it. If you are looking for a unique experience than Venice Beach is the place for you. We talk with the kids about how when we see the sign in movies and TV shows now we can be like, “Hey, we have been there!” Also on the way up you get some pretty amazing views of the sign. Once at the top you get an amazing view of LA with the Hollywood sign right below you. If this sounds too confusing and stressful you can also check out this guided Hollywood Sign Hike. ![]() And no, we did not go in any of the no trespassing areas! we kind of just kept following the signs and the people and we ended up going the right way. Some people were telling us you can’t hike up there and then we would see others that said you could. It isn’t easy, but our 6 year old did it with just being carried on our back a couple of times. Take note this is a long hike – probably about 3 mile – 4 mile round trip hike from the Lake Hollywood park (where there is free public parking) and a lot of it is uphill. You won’t be able to touch the sign but you can hike right up behind it. You can’t get much more iconic then the Hollywood Sign! And hiking to the Hollywood sign is a great way to see it and to get a view of all of LA. If you are interested in doing a variety of activities be sure to check out the LA Go City Explorer Pass. Come see if you can escape! Multiple rooms and themes available. ![]()
