1. write down and list the places you want to go and see.
2. go to google maps to see where they are located.
3. Check where the train stations are near your desired places.
4. Google maps will mark train and bus stations as well as lodging establishments.
The Beach Cities are the worst for public transit to the sites. Far flung. But, they are arguably the most enjoyable. So, as Kzapanta suggests, first figure out what you would like to see, then post anew, here. We'll be able to help, better, then.
Wonderful modern church. After the flight the previous day we decided that a quiet Sunday should start with a mass.
After the service they had a mini cookout / coffee / tea and cake service ... as we weren't local we didn't stay .. but they did invite us.

I had a fun day there, unfortunatly I did'nt have any more film to take pics as I had run out of money :-(
but it is supposed to be for kids, forget it!!!! more adults enjoyed it than kids did, me included.
Like the famed TKTS in NYC, LA has it's won "cheap ticket site". There is no booth, just an online web site: www.lastagetix.com . You can get as much as 50% off the retail price, but it is last minute purchasing.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame, probably one of the few occasions when visiting a famous place when you have your eyes looking at the ground while walking. Because the ground is the attraction! Yes, the Hollywood Walk of Fame sidewalk has the names of more than 2,000 celebrities who were honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for their contributions to the entertainment industry. Don't miss your favorite stars! Spend some time searching for them and take photos with them.
One thing they don't mention on the studio tours is that a lot of what ends up in a movie or tv show isn't shot at a studio. Southern California is full of on location filming and if you want to try to catch some while you're visiting, here are some tips.
A lot of productions use bright yellowish-orange signs to lead cast and crew to the filming site. They will have a big arrow and some type of abbreviation of the show's title. So, for example, a movie titled "Virtual Tourist" would have a sign that said Virtual or Tourist or even VT. If you have the time in your schedule and you pass one of these signs, follow the arrows and see where it takes you. Film locations will be easy to spot because there are always a lot of trailers around (they haul everything from the camera equipment to the wardrobes) and big, bright lights.
Once you find a filming site, bear in a mind you may not be allowed to stay and watch. If you are, you have to be very quiet and cannot take pictures while they are actually filming. You also want to make sure you park your car somewhere that is not in the filming area. Anything that causes the crew to have to wait or reshoot will be severely frowned upon because the saying "time is money" is very true in the film industry.
If you don't have a lot of time on your visit and can't just drive around following signs, try going to downtown LA on a Sunday. There's almost always something being filmed down there and Sundays are popular because the traffic isn't as heavy as a weekday.
Another thing to keep in mind is that lately a lot of banks selling off foreclosed homes have been using those bright yellowish-orange signs for their repo/open houses so not every sign that color is going to be for filming. Be sure to read exactly what the sign says before you waste any gas following those arrows.
