Visit the Discovery Science Center
The Discovery Science Center is a huge interactive science museum and entertainment complex. The exhibits range from static fossils and diagrams to playing virtual volleyball, lying on a bed of nails and experiencing what a real California earthquake feels like.

Go Bowling
Take up an indoor sport for the day--bowling. The famous Lucky Strike Lanes bowling alley in Hollywood is no ordinary bowling hall. It's jazzed up with fancy lights, a chic retro style and fashionable cocktails. Play a couple rounds and then shoot some pool or challenge a stranger to a game on the tabletop arcades. Then enjoy the nightlife of a 21-and-over bowling alley nightclub that's been known to host performances from A-list artists.

Go to the Griffith Observatory
Even though it's rainy, you can still get some great looks at the atmosphere and sky from the Griffith Observatory. You might not be able to see all the stars and constellations on a rainy night, but you can check out what thunderclouds look like up close, and have the science of how everything forms explained to you in person. It's the best view of Los Angeles hands down, rainy or not.

Go Sportfishing
Go sportfishing and enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Boats go out daily rain or shine, so you're always in luck.

Go to Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood doesn't shut down for the rain so you can still have a blast on all the movie themed rides, take the back lot tour and try making it up the hundreds of stairs that connect the top level of the park and the bottom, where the studio backlots are. Run these stairs "Rocky" style if you dare for a real workout.
