No Muss, No Fuss, Just Hop on The Bus


Speaking of gardens ( as I was in my previous post), Long Beach Transit is offering the Museum Express again this year, which offers express transportation to some of the premiere gardens in Southern California as well as most of the major museums. The special program runs from June 2 through August 30 and offers a round trip ride to venues as diverse and widespread as the Descanso Gardens in La Canada and Planes of Fame in Chino for $7.00 a ticket.

You can buy tickets at the Transit Center downtown or at L.B. Transit Headquarters at 1963 E. Anaheim St. or mail in the form available at the website and the tickets will be mailed back to you. The buses leave from 1st Street downtown and there’s parking nearby, or consider taking a bus to the bus (or bike and park at the BikeStation) for a low-carbon footprint.

Tops on my list are Descanso, Mission San Juan Capistrano, Huntington Gardens, and the Arboretum, but there are lots of other fun new choices like the Hollywood Museum and Wilshire’s Museum Row (LACMA, LaBrea Tarpits and Peterson Automotive Museum). Check out the schedule and reserve soon because some of these trips fill up fast.
