"John Paul Getty was an industrialist and oil tycoon, needless to say, the man was loaded!
The Getty Villa, located on the southern end of Malibu is the perfect way to start a day or end it; you'll see a lot of Green and Roman art, the Landsdowne Herakles and the stunning grounds!
What's more: It's free to enter, you just have to pay for parking! (Last time I went it was $20.)
What's cool about the Getty Villa and Center is how accommodating they are to families, you can even drop your kids off at their kid center so that you can enjoy the art in peace. I'm not so sure I'd do it, but one of the staff members at the Getty Villa was raving about how wonderful it is! So, whatever floats your boat! :)
When we were there, we debated whether to leave and have lunch in the Palisades or in Malibu, but we ended up eating lunch at their onsite cafe. If you do, get the aioli burger! It's the best (albeit most expensive) hamburger you'll ever buy.
