I had a wonderful time here. Plenty of places to sit. Good visibility of the stage pretty much from anywhere you sit. You can bring your own food and have a picnic or buy food from the food trucks and local eateries. However if the event is late only did options will be your own or food trucks. Parking on site is $10. It's not as packed as it just to be b4 covid.

I went to an event here that was billed as Grand Park Performances. Not sure why it was called that since it's actually at the California Plaza Park. ....
But there you go. Thank you to Google maps. I knew where to go. I remember going her, b4 covid and it would always be Packed!! Wall to Wall people. It was only about 25% what the usual crowd was. However... it still is a very nice place to go and relax and watch an event. There was plenty of seating. And you can actually bring your own food there and have a picnic if you don't want to do the food trucks or eateries around the court. Restrooms on site. And parking avaible for $10.
All and all, it was a nice affordable night to go and heat live music and have dinner at the same time. :-) would love it if they have dance performances here as well!

I didn't have enough to spend there, but I'll definitely go back and take my time. Very serene and zen atmosphere and vib.
So much to see and explore and so be done at a cool pace and not rushed.
There is a library where you can check out books or read there. Quiet. Relaxing reading rooms. Very very nice staff. Amazing. There are some free books you can take.
There's a tea room and gift shop. 2 temples, a really good art gallery that has new Exhibits that rotates out.
I didn't have time to stay for the vegetarian buffet but the red bean and custard cakes I got that is made fresh on the spot there was really yummy! If you get there earlier enough, there is plenty of free parking on site.

Terrific selection of art and divided up by regions for the permanent collection. I really appreciate the hands on and interactive exhibits as well. Beautiful courtyard area and plenty of parking. Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of art in the newer collections. Attaching some of my favorite pieces of art I saw there. There is a free entry day each month. I think it's the second Sunday. Their gift shop had a really nice selection of goods.

Food is so darn yummy here. Parking is easy. Outdoor seating. Their lunch specials are a bit limiting though. Only 7 items on it. :-((
