On my way to a connecting flight overseas and I have a 7 hour layover in LAX. Anything fun to do in and around the airport?

Thanks.

There's a nice foodcourt in the International terminal. Go there, get some food, and read a good book. That's what I do when I'm there for a long duration.

take a taxi to LAX Range nearby and fire off a couple hundred rounds with a rented handgun.

yeah, that's probably the only fun thing to do in el segundo...

if you wanted to go anywhere else you'd have to find a ride somehow

When I was younger I got stick in the Cincinatti airport with my mom and sister for around 8 hours. We had wheelchair races to pass the time.

If you take the free shuttle bus to Parking Lot C depot, you're right next to the bus transit station. It'll take you anywhere you need to go.

I like the international terminal idea. That is the best food court and the international terminal is the most interesting place to watch people. I dunno about 8 hours, though.

The LAX gun range and the NUDE NUDE NUDE ideas could be combined into a trip to the international terminal idea.

LAX isn't all the interesting for hanging out... but you could go to Inglewood if you want interesting.

I apologize for their awful site. Looks like $12 for the range + 10 gun rental + ammo.
The price isn't too bad. It's $12 + $6 run rental + ammo an hour north of LA. Targets are like $1 for three unless you want people-shaped targets.
