Though its figures are merely set in wax, the Hollywood Wax Museum itself is set in stone as a favorite destination for the multitude of tourists who coming flocking to Tinseltown each year. The perfect venue for people who don't care about seeing actual celebrities, the Hollywood Wax Museum offers visitors the chance to mingle with the stars, have their photo taken and enjoy a bit of entertainment kitsch, all without breaking the bank. This museum may no longer be in its prime, but that's what makes it so great. Hours: Sun-Thu 10am-12am, Fri, Sat 10am-1am

Go where millions of people have gone before…to the Natural History Museum. Containing one of the world's most extensive and valuable collections of natural and cultural history, the Natural History Museum is a popular destination for families. Kids love all there is to experience: from the world's rarest shark (the Megamouth) to the Ralph M. Parsons Discovery Center, which contains a dig pit for the little ones to excavate fossils. And adults love that there are three full floors of permanent exhibits for their offspring to explore, thus ensuring tired children who will surely sleep soundly throughout the night. In terms of cost, admission prices are reasonable at $9 for adults, $2 for children (5 -12) and $6.50 for students/seniors. Not great, but reasonable. Hours: Mon-Fri 9:30am-5pm, Sat-Sun 10am-5pm
