Consider renting a car to get around Burbank and the surrounding areas. Uber and Lyft are also available options for those who prefer not to drive. Public transportation is available, but it may not be the most convenient option for travelers who want to explore the outdoors.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider driving to Joshua Tree National Park or Yosemite National Park for an unforgettable nature experience. For a more urban adventure, visit downtown Los Angeles to see the Broad Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the iconic Griffith Observatory. If you have less time, skip the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens and spend more time hiking and exploring the outdoors.
