About Miracle Mile
Miracle Mile is home to Museum Row, one of the densest stretches of culture in the city. Urban Light outside LACMA and the grounds of the La Brea Tar Pits are free any time, and several museums here offer free-admission days.
The stretch of Wilshire Boulevard is lined with landmark Art Deco architecture, and Hancock Park's lawns provide a free green pause among the museums.
