The best way to get around Arcadia is by car. You can also take local buses or ride-sharing services if you prefer not to drive. Renting a car for the day will cost around $40-60 and driving time between activities is relatively short.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden or exploring the historic Route 66. If you have less time, skip the mall or rock climbing activity.
