Pasadena is situated just 10 miles from Los Angeles and offers day-visitors and vacationers a great selection of historical, cultural, and outdoor activities to fill every moment of the day. Art lovers are spoiled for choice – you can start by visiting the Norton Simon Museum, which features work by illustrious artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Warhol and then work your way around the Armory Center for the Arts and the many performing arts venues.
Outdoor enthusiasts can have fun with Bikes and Hikes LA, hike Eaton Canyon, or tour the beautiful Descanso Botanical Gardens. History buffs will enjoy the Historic San Gabriel Mission District and everyone will love the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
