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!

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

  7. Jimmy Banta on July 9, 2023 at 11:02 am

    The creepy music 😂

  8. Alfredo Romero on July 9, 2023 at 11:03 am

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

  9. 330toSRT8 on July 9, 2023 at 11:09 am

    Cool places! Definitely make part 2!

  20. dannywankenobi on July 9, 2023 at 11:30 am

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

  21. Andrew Mackey on July 9, 2023 at 11:33 am

  24. Shane Gomez Yates on July 9, 2023 at 11:37 am

    Hey what’s the address to the last two spots?

  25. Mike Lopez on July 9, 2023 at 11:39 am

    It’s probably because some people give away gems lol

  26. Noe Berengena on July 9, 2023 at 11:41 am

    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.
