With sports arenas, a science center, a rose garden and a museum devoted to African American history, this downtown space welcomes visitors of all ages.

The science complex also has an IMAX theater with 3-D screens and a range of family-friendly interactive exhibits.

Learn about an integral part of history in the California African American Museum. It provides information about the African American experience through art displays and historic artifacts.

For a change of scenery, watch a football game at the open-air LA Memorial Coliseum. Home of the USC Trojans, the impressive stadium seats almost 80,000 spectators. Head next door for the Banc of California Stadium, where the Los Angeles FC soccer team plays.
