Review:
Pasadena lies northeast of Los Angeles and is best known as the host city for the Rose Bowl Game, a legendary college football match held annually on New Year’s Day. Less well-known is the fact that Pasadena has an interesting historic area, Old Pasadena, where you can stroll through many lovely Victorian and art deco buildings.
The city is just packed with art and culture attractions, including the Amory Center for the Arts, the Norton Simon Museum, the Pacific Asia Museum, and the Kidspace Children’s Museum, to name but a few. You can also get out of town and back to nature at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanical Garden.
