Tour Description
Step into the rich tapestry of history with our Miracle Mile Segway Tour, offering not just an exhilarating ride, but a fascinating journey through the evolution of this iconic stretch known as the "Miracle" Mile.
In the early 1920s, Wilshire Boulevard was merely an unpaved farm road, meandering through pastoral landscapes of dairy farms and bean fields until visionary developer A. W. Ross recognized its potential. Ross transformed Wilshire into a bustling commercial district, challenging the dominance of downtown Los Angeles and providing an alternative for the displaced Jewish community seeking better housing opportunities.
The transformation was remarkable, marked by the development of Museum Row, home to renowned institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum, and the Craft and Folk Art Museum. These cultural landmarks not only showcase exquisite art and artifacts but also embody the spirit of innovation and creativity that defines the Miracle Mile.
As you glide past these cultural gems on your Segway, you'll be immersed in the stories that shaped this vibrant neighborhood. From the ancient fossils of prehistoric creatures at the La Brea Tar Pits to the contemporary masterpieces at LACMA, each stop offers a window into the rich tapestry of human experience and expression.
Beneath the towering architectural wonders of the Miracle Mile, including the iconic May Co. building, now LACMA West, you'll experience the thrill of riding a Segway while soaking in the historical and cultural significance of each landmark. Our Segway tour combines adventure with insightful commentary, offering a unique perspective on the dynamic evolution of this beloved neighborhood.
