Guide Review - Go Los Angeles Card
Most of the attractions included are not on the first-time visitor’s must-see list, but if you’re more interested in museums than amusement parks, or have already done the basics, there are lots of interesting experiences to choose from. NEW! Up to three days at Universal Studios Hollywood has been added to the 3, 5 and 7 day Go Los Angeles Card, making it more interesting to most tourists.
The value of this card depends on how much you want to push yourself. You’d have to fit three or four activities into a single day to make a 1 day $49 card worthwhile, which seems like a lot of pressure when you’re on vacation. On the other hand, fitting in seven to 10 things in 7 days for $199 is very do-able. This is especially worthwhile if you include Universal Studios, Wild Rivers Water Park, Temecula Grapeline Wine Country Tour, Aquarium of the Pacific, LA City Tour and Movie Stars Homes, and Legoland. After that, everything is bonus.
The attractions are widely dispersed geographically, so make sure that you plan in enough time for travel between attractions when planning to use this card.
