The Kodak Theater is the theater where the Academy Awards are hosted. Located in Hollywood next to Grauman's Chinese Theater, this tour offer visitors a chance to see where it all happens. Guests can view an Oscar statuette, as well as the chairs that various celebrities sat in during the current season's show. The Kodak Theater has also played host to other high-profile events, including the ESPY awards, the Daytime Emmy Awards, Victoria's Secret fashion shows, the "American Idol" finals and BET awards.
While famous for the various hand prints, footprints and even Whoopi Goldberg's dreadlocks that are immortalized in the cement outside the theater, Grauman's Chinese Theater is a great place to catch a movie. The theater opened in May of 1927 and, according to MannTheaters.com, is the most sought-after theater in Hollywood for movie premieres.
The Queen Mary was built by the John Brown Shipyard in the 1930s and has made more than 1,100 voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. Since the ship was retired it has been restored and has spent the past 30 years at the Long Beach Port. The ship, turned into a hotel, offers guided tours of the historic ocean liner. While touring the Queen Mary, guests have the opportunity to dine and shop on the ship, as well as learn about various events throughout the ship's history.
