The grounds are beautifully maintained, with stunning views from the upper levels. There are plenty of fascinating artifacts and exhibits to explore, and the villa has many rooms to wander through, so plan to spend a few hours if you want to see everything. There is also a charming café and a gift shop. The gift shop has a lovely selection of unique jewelry, especially earrings, that are worth checking out.

Since it is a timed visitation, you probably meet a few enthusiastic also heading to the Eames HOUSE. Say hello and walk together. First question popped from all of us is "are you doing the exterior or interior?" Lol who got $200 something loose change in the pocket? Turns out, the Eames Foundations really rely on the interior tour proceeds to up keep this historical home. It is sad seeing the white curtains are bleached by the California sun it reminds me of Pringo chips while the exterior wood panels seasoned by the ocean spray like 60 days aged steak. While pacing ourself along the railroad wood passageway, the guide invites us to look into the inside of the kitchen, the living room and spiral stairs. The building is constructed with exposed steels and glasses which fulfilled one of the criteria of the competition- to utilized materials that were invented or used during the WWII. I really appreciate the Eames House is spared from the wild fire.

OMG when I learned that I could enter the hallowed halls of The Brady Bunch House online I…read moreimmediately contacted the Bucket List Group and booked my journey with my Amex card.. WORTH IT ! Great communication leading up to the tour. I was sent a bar code and instructions in multiple emails as the date came closer to the tour.. Ok, today was the day, IT'S ALL HAPPENING ! I landed in Burbank and headed straight to the house. Ok, got there early cause I was super excited. I waited in the car till 3pm which was my time in which then I knocked on the front door and was greeted.... No it wasn't Carol or Alice but a nice lady with a few more instructions. Yelpers I just teleported into time and my childhood fantasy has arrived.... My eyes gazed over the entry way and living room for which I was just flabbergasted by what I saw, yes I'm actually standing in Mike & Carols living room. I'd always envisioned myself in my dreams but never in my wildest thoughts that I'd actually be standing inside the Brady Bunch House.... Upon walking in you'll be staring at the staircase you'll see the vase Peter broke when throwing the basketball inside the house " Mom Always Said Don't Play in The House "! Since it's a self guided tour I drifted into the kitchen first and man the 70's kitchen with avocado & orange appliances blinded me and made me smile.. I picture Alice in the kitchen in her blue maid outfit. I walked through into the den and saw the tv and TIGER the dog & his bowl. Yes, I know it's not the real tiger but hey he had a good life... Greg's football playbook was on the table for viewing or stealing plays... Sliding glass doors opened and I was in the backyard & garage area.. Mikes red car was in the garage next to a fleet of bicycles.. Even the Brady Dunk tank was for viewing but no dunking... Back into the house I now ventured upstairs to the Brady girls room and sitting on the bed is Cindy's beloved doll Kitty Karry All... AJan's black wig even was in the bedroom, can you believe it I couldn't. Various awards in the room and now I'm in connecting bathroom the kids shared... Bathroom was great and even had shampoo and toothpaste from 70's... Brady boys bedroom was next and the famous blue bunkbeds were right there.. Peter & Bobby's bunkbeds were awesome. No I didn't take a nap in case your wondering... Backdown the stairway to Mike's working home office and then to Alice's bedroom. Nice touch with a framed photo of Sam The Butcher on Alice's nightstand... Now I crossed the house into the hippie version of Greg's / Johnny Bravo's bedroom. Amongst Greg's stuff was a fake mascot of COOLIDGE HIGH SCHOOL goat LOL.... However the coolest item was the famous cursed taboo tiki idol necklace. This leading to bad luck like Greg's surfing wipeout and a tarantula scare. Now moving on it was Mike & Carols room to close out my trip through time... THANK YOU for allowing me on the tour and actually hang in the Brady Bunch house. A dream come true and I'll cherish for life.. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY FOKS!

We completed (literally) one round of stair-walking and decided it was brunch time. Some of the steps are loose and wiggle when you step on them; be forewarned. Nevetheless, the Stairs clearly have their fans; lots of people were working out here the Friday we went. Speaking of Fridays.....keep an eye on the bizarre parking hours. Basically, parking on the north side of Adelaide is completely verboten EXCEPT for two hours on Friday mornings. For those two hours, parking is forbidden on the south side of the street. I am guessing this is due to street-cleaning rules. And knowing the Santa Monica police intimately, they have nothing better to do than give you a ticket one minute after the time stated and have you towed. Also, don't do push-ups in the middle of the street, okay?! There's a sign for that too, so obviously someone has done exactly that. On the positive side, the views are stunning and it's free. Free is good! Have fun.

Each location offers its own personality, but Adamson House continues to stand out. The combination of historic architecture, hand-painted tile details, and the unobstructed Malibu coastline creates a setting that feels both intimate and expansive. Lighting throughout the property changes beautifully as the sun moves, especially during golden hour when the ocean backdrop becomes incredibly dynamic on camera. From a production standpoint, the layout allows for a natural flow between ceremony, portraits, and reception. The oceanfront lawn offers open space for wide scenic compositions, while the Spanish-style courtyard adds depth and texture for more detailed, artistic shots. My team documented a wedding there under our studio name, Prince Weddings (PrinceWeddings.net), and the experience reinforced how well this venue photographs and films when thoughtfully planned. This review reflects only my direct experience working at the property and is shared to help couples better understand what it offers from a visual and logistical perspective.

There is essentially no practical parking in this area if you're looking to visit the house and the surrounding park/beaches directly.

Services and resources on the grounds are very limited (bathrooms, etc.), but the area is very well preserved as a historic location by the State Parks staff. May be very challenging to visit, but if you're here for an event, take a little time to explore the area.

The building is the Venice Renaissance Building. It is a dual purposed building with businesses &…read morecondos. On the front, at the corner of Main Street & Rose Avenue, there is this 30 foot tall Ballerina Clown or Clownerina affixed to it. CVS is right underneath this public art. When one thinks of a ballerina, a female comes to mind. One odd thing about this art is that the while most of its features are that of a woman, the head is definitely a man's! Here, you have a combination of male & female; and classically trained performer & a street performer all rolled into one sculpture. There's even a spotlight circle on the background to highlight the star (at night, there are real lights shining up at it). The Ballerina Clown is wearing red ballet slippers & a wire mesh tutu and standing on a soapbox. Very unique! Sure, this may be a super odd piece of artwork, but there's good reasoning behind it! There are tons of oddities in Venice! There was a 12' version of this clown at MOCA. Jonathan Borofsky was working on other projects and showed the clown to Harlan Lee and he had this clown commissioned for this building. Lee said, "My head started spinning like crazy. The beauty of the body is the beauty of Venice, the Pacific Ocean and the Boardwalk, and the sad face is the sadness of the homeless wandering around Venice. 25 years later, it's still valid." That was in 2014. So, this Ballerina Clown was erected in 1989. The clown's right leg originally was intended to continually kick, but the tenants complained that the mechanical leg was noisy so it was unplugged. For the 25th Anniversary, Lee repaired the mechanical leg and got permits. Not sure how long the kicking has lasted, but the leg has NOT been in motion for most of the time. I read it was kicking from 1PM-6PM daily. While you're here, make sure to go across Main Street and head South to set your eyes on the giant Binoculars! It's really cool, too! I was here at about 10:45AM, so I missed the "action". I wanted to get a real kick out of seeing the leg in motion, so I guess I will need to come back!

I had relocated to LA from the Midwest the night before. My very first thought was: Well I'll be a hog smog of a mog dog, what the fook is that??!! I swear that thing was raising its leg in a kick the first time I saw it. Or maybe I just wished it would. There used to be a Koo Koo Roo under the Borofsky sculpture, and I got food from there often, and carried it home a few blocks to my walk street apartment. So.....did you ever stand under the clown and try to look up his skirt? Neither did I!! Certainly not. *cough*can't see anything*cough*
