Large outdoor space and building with impressive foyers make this a nice place to work. I had to…read moregiggle when I read someone's review, yes it's true there is not that much water, definitely more garden. When I was working here, the company I worked for had temporary offices here for a while, it was a nice space. Our floor was a bit rinky dink compared to the foyer and exterior though. I think this space is better outdoor than indoor but it's nice that there is fooda and of course, Mrs. Winstons! Parking does kind of suck but it's there, get to work a bit early to find some, the entrances seem poorly designed compared to colorado center.

Everything was wonderful and the staff were very nice and helpful. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was that there were many homeless people close to the playground, but I think we probably just came at a bad time and it's not always like that. Overall, the park is amazing. Thank you!

We were there in the early mid-morning and listened to a talk about the watershed preservation. I was impressed with how clean everything was and most especially the restroom. They were super clean, well maintained, and well lit. Me and my daughter felt safe. I was surprised to note that when we returned later in the day that there is an attendant available to answer questions or provide support. This place is a winner in my book.

Third Street Promenade is an open-air, car-free mall that is home to more than 80 retailers. It is…read morethree blocks long. This mall opened in the 1960s and has been renovated many times since then. This is a nice place to go for a stroll and wander in and out of stores. Up and down the street are topiary sculptures called "The Dinosaurs of Santa Monica". Some of these dinosaur topiaries shoot streams of water from their mouths. At the south end of Third Street Promenade is a enclosed shopping center called Santa Monica Place. I used to visit Third Street Promenade a lot back in my younger days. We would grab a bite to eat and then hit a few stores after a long day at the beach. I was here recently and there was hardly anyone here. The vibe just wasn't the same. The Jacaranda Trees are pretty when they are blooming. I like coming here in the evenings when the lights are on. Some popular stores here at Third Street Promenade are Patagonia, Lululemon, Anthropologie, H&M and Urban Outfitters. On occasional evenings, you can catch live music and street performers. Third Street Promenade has a farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday from 8am to 1pm.

There's nothing here anymore aside from occasional popup events. That's the only reason why I still come here. It's sad but it's the reality these days.

For a $10 entry fee (waived with student i.d.) one gains admission to the grounds on which the Eames' house and studio sit. You're invited to peer into the house and studio, they may even open a slider to enable this, but no photos of the interior are permitted. Although the experience is billed as "self-guided", during my visit a docent opened the slider to the home, allowing a better view inside, and discussed different aspects of the house with us in a very informal manner. The experience is mostly visual but if you have questions, ask away. I've no doubt the docents can answer anything you might wish to know about the Eames house and the Eames themselves. Walk the property and enjoy its natural beauty. Take a look at the map to reveal that the surrounding houses are (or were) case studies for other types of mid-century home designs. A visit to the Eames house (overseen by the Eames Foundation, advance reservations accepted), will likely take up no more than 45 minutes of your time but you'll feel like you've seen something unique and historical and forevermore you'll likely spot images of the immediately recognizable home in books and magazines allowing you to say "I've been there".

I've been a couple times now, the first time I don't recall any issues, but recently I found the docents oddly unfriendly. As I waited for a friend to use the restroom, they kept peering out of their office to check on me as though I was looking for trouble. Their problem was that you're not supposed to explore the bottom level without guidance. It's a stupid rule. The museum is small enough to explore in less than 30 minutes, so being forced to have someone guide you makes it feel very stuffy. It'd be much nicer to simply offer a guide, that's the point of a docent, I thought. Maybe just go in and ignore them, it'll be more entertaining that way.

It's a very small museum whereby you can see the entire museum in 5 minutes! And I'm not being facetious. You'll find some interesting artifacts. Today, the admission was free. They have a permanent collection and rotating exhibit. Overall, this museum is a bonafide golden gem of the community. I recommend you visit if you have 5 minutes to spare.
