Los Angeles: Walt Disney Concert Hall & Nearby Attractions

Funny enough, I have to admit I've never seen an actual show in the Walt Disney Concert Hall — I've only been in the lobby or meandering outside it. And that's the thing — although I've heard the acoustics and performances are amazing and it's definitely on my list to experience one day — just from viewing it and walking around this amazing architectural structure is an experience in itself. 

There's some stairs that will lead you up through the seemingly-moving reflective plates. You can go around to the back to see a garden area and a beautiful mosaic flower piece, "A Rose for Lilly," — Frank Gehry's tribute to Lillian Disney — and that will lead you to some stairs with a leaved wall for more #instagrammoments haha. But actually. It was a cute setting to capture Whitney and Chris. 

But wait... there's more! (scroll down)

Just a little walk from the Walt Disney Concert Hall is the new Broad Museum,the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, which features the art piece below.

From touring all of that on Grand Ave., you can then walk through Grand Park, which hosts many events throughout the year, and includes a fountain you can run through — just watch out for the kids that might splash you.
