Capitol Records Building
How do you design your record label building to show what you do from the outside you ask? Well, you make the building look like a stack of records, of course! That is exactly what they did with the Capitol Records Building. They actually designed it to look like a stack of 45's. For those of you born in 1990 or later - a 45 is one of those small records that you needed an insert to keep in place on the player. Oh, for those of you born in 2010 or after - a record is a flat vinyl way to keep music... you know what, forget it. Let's just leave it as the building is cool. Some of the most famous musicians have been on the Capitol Records Label including The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Adele, Tina Turner, The Beastie Boys, Aerosmith, Judy Garland, Dean Martin, and many more!

Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car cost?
+
Prices start at $162 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Angeles is not rushed.
Is Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Angeles can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Angeles within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Los Angeles?
+
Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Griffith Observatory Hike: Guided Tour through Griffith Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Los Angeles?
+
March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Los Angeles?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
Included: Daytime driving; Local, professional guides; 2 Hour mini-car tour; Photo opportunities; and Movie locations. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
*EXACT MEETING LOCATION WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU AFTER BOOKING* Starting locations are on the North side of Griffith Park:. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and All participants must be in good physical health; not recommended for people with back pro. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What booking options are available for Discover Los Angeles by Mini-Car?
+
