Event Details

The Echo Park Time Travel Mart and Atlas Obscura are teaming up to lead a special bus tour of some of Los Angeles' most time-specific places. We will travel back to the days of cane sugar sodas, panoramic paintings, and whimsical marionette performances.

John Nese, soda afficionado and owner of Galco's Soda Pop Stop, will share some of his favorite bubbly beverages of yesteryear. Box lunches will be provided at Griffith Park's Old Zoo, where we will picnic among the spirits of the apes and climb into abandoned animal cages from the 1930s.

Travel from one extreme locale to another at the Velaslavasay Panorama, where we will trek into a 360-degree display of the arctic north and explore a carnivorous plant garden. Finally, witness a puppetry performance and backroom tour of Bob Baker's Marionette Theater, the longest-running of its kind in North America.
