Local Destinations

There is a lot to do in the Los Angeles area. Pasadena is located 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles and 27 miles from LAX – Los Angeles airport.

Points of Interest

Los Angeles county has a population of nearly 10 million people.  Southern Californian's love their cars and freeways.  There are 2,300 persons per square mile in Los Angeles County with a good percentage of people in their cars at any given time.  

Los Angeles has a Metro Rail system and a new line opened up recently all the way to Pasadena.

The Sheraton hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service within a 5-mile radius - including the Metro stop at Del Mar on the Gold Line.

TOURS: There are several tour companies that offer a variety of tours, a sample of tours is listed below. Many of the tours pick up/drop off directly from the Sheraton Pasadena.

Most (but not all) of the tours have buses to pick up people from the hotels (including the Sheraton) in the area and drop passengers off at the Mann's Chinese Theater. Then you get on the tour bus for the exact tour you signed up for.

On most days there are buses that return people back to the hotels around 2PM and again at 6PM - this way people who are on a half day tour can get back to the hotel, or they can sight see on their own until the last bus leaves.

You should reserve a space as early as possible - most tours fill up 2 weeks in advance. You can get more information and reserve a space by going to:
