The new Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica has glamorous Hollywood past. It was originally the beach house that William Randolph Hearst built for Marion Davies back in the 1920's. It's been renovated and reopened as a public pool and recreation center.
Admission is normally $10 to use the pool and facilities, but on Mondays you can get in for just $1. Passes go on sale at 8:30 a.m. and there's no advance purchase for Dollar Splash Mondays.
Docent-led tours of the Beach House are offered at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on weekdays. There are two beach volleyball courts and a beach tennis court. Food is available from the Back on the Beach Café from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from the Take Out Window from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, visit the Beach House website.

Ice skating in downtown L.A.
Yes, that's right! You can actually go ice skating in Los Angeles... on real ice! Who knew?
Well, I guess I didn't, since this post is a little late to the party. Downtown on Ice, sponsored by our professional hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings, has been open since last month. But it's open for another month, until January 19, 2009, so there's still time to get down there and lace up your skates!
Admission is only $6.00 and skate rental is another $2.00. For those who don't skate (maybe your kids or friends do?) there are free lunchtime concerts during the week, on Friday nights, and during the day on Saturday and Sunday. On select Thursday nights in December and January, Spaceland will present the best of L.A.'s alternative, hip hop and world beat music.
Downtown on Ice, located in Pershing Square, 532 South Olive Street in downtown L.A. Open 7 days a week. Check schedule for hours.
