Truly a hidden gem of Los Angeles. Go online to Los Angeles County website to get tickets as it’s by reservation only. The tickets are $15 and totally worth it. Our docent was amazing filled with so much knowledge about the history of the family and property. My friend and I absolutely loved the 90 minute tour of the home and surrounding gardens. They are truly spectacular. At one point in time, I thought I had wandered off into Maui. It’s really that beautiful! Parking was on site and free in a small lot adjacent to home. Great experience!

4.5 Historic Lily pond (24 reviews)
- From George Vreeland Hill
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas

One of the most famous spots in the world and a photo-op dream. Everyone wants to visit Beverly Hills, and one of the first stops is the Beverly Hills Sign and Lily Pond. The sign and pond date back to the early 1900s, but the pond was dismantled for a mini park many years ago, but was restored for the BH centennial in 2014. A must-see attraction if there ever was one. George Vreeland Hill See more..

4.5 Takeaway Sculpture (3 reviews)
- Admirable balancing act
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues

Unveiled in January 2019 this latest sculpture by the American artist Tom Friedman is marvellous. In stainless steel, it is symbolic of rushing about and deadlines that many of us experience these days. Precariously keeping many takeaway cartons in equilibrium, the figure hastens to complete the many deliveries on his head. I think it also expresses aspects of the so-called gig economy that is prevalent in many modern societies. See more..
4.5 Electric Fountain (2 reviews)
- The Electric Fountain
Fountains

The Electric Fountain is gorgeous both day and night. It is a part of Beverly Gardens Park that also includes the famous Beverly Hills Sign and Lily Pond.

4.0 Paley Center for Media (68 reviews)
- Essentially Paley - Essentially Marilyn
Closed now Speciality Museums • Libraries • Educational sites

We visited our local Paley Center for Media initially to support a local Beverly Hills #BoldBH initiative with a local artist Alexa Meade but upon arrival we realized that there was a beautiful and historical exhibit called: "Essentially Marilyn" and many of her original dresses from a selection of her movies were on display. What I love about the Paley center is that they have items on display that are icons of the entertainment industry and were actually used in film and television. They are local historians covering many genres and eras keeping history and entertainment alive. What I also love is that there is always something new from entertainment history to see. See more..
3.5 Rodeo Collection (13 reviews)
- From George Vreeland Hill
Shopping Malls

A fine collection of stores and more on many different levels. On Rodeo Drive, but you really have to walk into this area of Rodeo. A gorgeous setting of flowers, winding stairs and walkways greet you. Most tourists don't get to see the Rodeo Collection as it is a bit hidden, but it is really a must-see.
