Notes
If you are staying in Hollywood and not planning on leaving the area, then the Hollywood CityPass will be perfect for you.
I think most of you would probably be more interested in the Go LA Card as it is much more flexible. If you buy a 3 day card, it can be used any 3 days of your vacation. It also includes a things like movie studio tours, amusement parks, museums and cruises.
