City Walk is a pretty decent attraction if you do it right. I always hear people complaining about the parking, crowd, etc., but it's Los Angeles, so what do you expect? When it comes to parking, it's a total pain to pay $10 but those who can read know you can get your money back if you go to the movies. Just take your ticket (in it's entirety because it's void if you rip off the bottom part) to the box office and they'll give you your money (or use it towards the theatre admission). However, if you don't plan on going to the theatre, just park in the FREE Metro parking and take the FREE shuttle that drops you off right in front. The only problem with this is that the shuttles only operate until a certain hour (varies) and if you stay after the last one leaves, you'll have to walk back. But it's an easy downhill walk.
Pros: Parking rebate, cool attractions
Cons: Crowds, high theatre prices
