The Getty Center is a beautiful place for a day trip. Admission is free and it is huge. Roam the many galaries and make sure to visit the gardens and take in the amazing views. Parking on site is $5, but you can park on the street down the hill a bit and take the #14 Big Blue Bus for $.50. Plan on allowing most of a day to really enjoy it. They also hjage a great interactive area for chidren where they can dress up like paintings, etc.
