Museum of Jurassic Technology: An offbeat museum that is home to many bizarre relics and strange exhibits. Described by AOL City Guide as "what might have happened if Edgar Allan Poe and P.T. Barnum decided to have a garage sale, but then decided to call it a museum". The museum is actually in the community of Palms within the city of Los Angeles.

Culver Hotel: A 1924 landmark pie-slice-shaped hotel in downtown. Much of the cast of The Wizard of Oz stayed here during filming of the movie in 1939. The hijinks of that period, including the hotel's being taken over by the "Munchkins," were featured in the 1981 movie Under the Rainbow.
