Vroom: The Art of the Motorcycle

Ladies, if you want to impress your man with your knowledge about vehicles, take him to the Motorcycle Museum happening at Forest Lawn Glendale. Forest Lawn Glendale revs up its engine in an ode to SoCal’s death-defying, traffic-busting vehicle of choice: the motorcycle. For six months, the free museum will be showcasing vintage bikes, hand-painted helmets and motorcycle-inspired artwork. Expect to see everything from a solid orange 1910 Flying Merkel—literally a motorized bicycle—to Brando and Dean-era hogs. Plus, there’s even a Transformers motorcycle on display.

Date: Ongoing for the week. Opens at 10am everyday

Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

Not quite kid-friendly, this year’s hayride finds itself exploring a portal to the underworld that’s opened up in GriffithPark. It’s an actual hayvride—a long one—and you might get wet, although ponchos will be courteously provided. There’s a pumpkin patch and “scary-go-round” for wee ones (and ‘fraidy cats), as well as a pitch black maze filled with “demons and maniacs,” and probably lots of frisky teenagers. This year’s theme, “Echoes from the Rift,” brings apocalyptic creatures to the park, like a 40-foot Leviathan and a three-headed Cerberus.

Date: Ongoing for the week: 5am-10:30pm daily
