So I am going to LA, and I was wondering if anyone knows cool things (specifically tech related, doesn't have to be) to see in LA.  Anything from some kind of company studio to a landmark.

 

Lemme know!

It depends on what you mean by tech, exactly. The Griffith Observatory is pretty incredible, I could spend days there. The space shuttle Endeavor is located at the California Science Center.

As for computer related stuff:

There are tons of game studios such as Activision, Riot, Naughty Dog, Cloud Imperium, Neversoft, DICE. Down further south in Orange County, you've got Blizzard and Obsidian.

I know Cisco has offices in LA. Intel has a campus in Orange County, and so does WD.

However, I'm not sure if any of these places give tours or anything like that.

I was quoting Invader Zim.  I was assuming that's where you came up with your username?  Amirite?

Nope, just as a little kid I was nicknamed "mini" and then sometimes moose, and that became minimoose...  Who is Invader Zim?

This guide covers LA pretty well: https://sites.google.com/site/theredditguidetola

 

I definitely recommend going to the Griffith Observatory and/or The Getty for great views of the city(when its not covered by smog). 

 

Beaches in the Malibu area are very nice(Zuma, Leo Carillo). If you want to free dive, there are some nice spots near Laguna Beach. 

Hiking is also another option if you are into that type of thing. The hike up to Mount Wilson is very nice. 12 mile round trip, not too bad if you are in moderately fit condition. Views are great from up there.

 

If you want to go shopping or just check out landmarks, Hollywood and Pasadena are good places for that. 

 

Food is a big thing in LA, you can find pretty much any kind of food you want here. Little Tokyo has some very nice and cheap restaurants. Check out Shin-Sen-Gumi if you are a fan of ramen, its one of my favorites and a great spot to go with friends.

 

I don't have time to list more stuff right now, but check out the link I posted above!

I live in the SF bay area...  So good food is on every block.  And I have been to The Getty before.  But thanks for all the other suggestions!
