It's your turn to carry the torch
As you walk through Exposition Park, keep your eyes peeled for the world famous torch. The Olympic Cauldron was built for the city's two Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984. The torch is still lit today during the 4th quarter of each USC football game. You can also find the torch lit in remembrance of others such as after the death of Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and after the September 11th attacks. A visit to the Olympic Cauldron with your LAX car rental is a great way to pay your respect to these individuals. Most notably however, the torch is the symbol of the Olympic Games. Exposition Park was home to the opening and closing ceremonies of both Los Angeles Olympic Games as well as the track and field events.
Go Wild for the Natural History Museum
Home to over 33 million artifacts and specimens, the Natural History Museum is a must see for any LAX car rental customer. Founded in 1910, the Museum has grown to be one of North America's finest destinations for nature and history lovers alike. View dinosaurs, African mammals, prehistoric societies, gold and more. At only $9 per adult and $6.50 for seniors, students, and children, the Natural History Museum is a bargain. If you plan your LAX car rental vacation at the beginning of the month, the Museum is free on the first Tuesday of each month. So get down to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles in Exposition Park.
