HIDDEN GEMS in Los Angeles you CAN’T MISS!! | Lake Shrine, Abandoned LA Zoo, Murphy's Ranch, & More

SECRET SPOTS IN LA! We all know Los Angeles as the home of Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach – but what about the lesser known spots that tourists don’t know about? I set out on a one day challenge to explore 5 hidden gems here in LA, and what I found was how unique this city really is. There is so much more to LA than meets the eye, and I’ll show you why! I hit up Lake Shrine, Murphy’s Ranch, Spadena House, Old LA Zoo, and Lake Hollywood Park, and had the best adventures at all of them!

  4. Mike Lopez on July 23, 2023 at 5:14 pm

    It’s probably because some people give away gems lol

  5. Urban_indy on July 23, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    it’s actually lame at night most cages and spots in the abandoned zoo are closed.

  9. Shane Gomez Yates on July 23, 2023 at 5:23 pm

  11. Gary Steinert on July 23, 2023 at 5:31 pm

  12. geodaoriginal on July 23, 2023 at 5:33 pm

  13. DM2 on July 23, 2023 at 5:33 pm

  14. Ed Martello on July 23, 2023 at 5:33 pm

  15. Andrew Mackey on July 23, 2023 at 5:37 pm

    Definitely keen for part 2 my dude! I love this kinda stuff. I even made a 5 things off the beaten path in LA Vlog from my first trip there from Australia in 2019, check it out of you need some ideas!

  16. Lionel Curvin on July 23, 2023 at 5:40 pm

    I miss Los Angeles. Perfect Video. Thank you

    It’s funny that Michael considers Griffith Park as east L.A. He is still about 8 miles northwest of downtown L.A. — East L.A. is east of downtown.
    All in all, this is an excellent survey of a few very interesting places. The Lake Shrine is one of my favorites. This video showcases Michael’s congenial personality and knowledgeable manner. I hope he has many more to view.

  18. Bethy Hernandez on July 23, 2023 at 5:55 pm

    Does he realize shoes on a power line often means it’s an area for dealing?

  19. roslyn davis on July 23, 2023 at 5:56 pm

    Can’t believe I’ve lived here 30 years and never knew about lake shrine

  20. 330toSRT8 on July 23, 2023 at 5:56 pm

    Cool places! Definitely make part 2!

  21. Kayelinn Albarez on July 23, 2023 at 5:56 pm

  22. Kayelinn Albarez on July 23, 2023 at 5:59 pm

  25. Markus 357 on July 23, 2023 at 6:06 pm

    Another great one Michael……love your vids!!

    The old zoo is a nice spot, but it’s no secret spot. Hundreds go through it every week, especially on the weekend.
