What are some things I can do in LA with limited mobility?

I'm not a wheelchair user, but I can only stand for 5 minutes and walk for 10. Any ideas what things can I do with those restrictions?
Edit: thanks to everyone that's replied so far! I didn't know if anyone would, but loads of you have given me great tips to make sure my disability doesn't stop me having a blast! I really appreciate you
️Los Angeles or Louisiana?

️It depends on where you're staying and how much time you have. LA is big and you'll probably spend a good amount of time in a car. If you can, get a nice rental car that's not too big. Parking is often a challenge and some streets are narrow. If renting at LAX, the wait times can be long.
Go to the beach if you can. I like Redondo Beach better than Santa Monica or Venice. Pretty and less crowded. There are wide, paved walkways and places to sit and watch the ocean.
The Getty Villa is pretty and accessible, from what I remember. The museum too.
Hollywood isn't that interesting unless you're going to an event. If you want to see it, I'd recommend driving down Hollywood Blvd. between La Brea and Vine. Or check out Cahuenga Blvd. The Hollywood Bowl is great and has accessible options, but you should book well in advance and be prepared for a long drive or shuttle ride.
If you want glitz and glamor, go to Beverly Hills and drive down Rodeo.
Drive down Mulholland for a great view of the city, or go to the Griffith Observatory. Griffith Park is also nice and has picnic areas if you don't want to walk.
Downtown LA isn't really a tourist area to me, but there are good restaurants. Some of the hotels have rooftop lounges with great views. Or go to Little Tokyo and get sushi, ramen, or mochi.

That's awesome thanks so much! Really helpful info
I think you will like it. When my mom first tried one (that belonged to a friend of ours), she wanted one immediately. It's similar to pushing a shopping cart in terms of how it supports you and helps you stay balanced when you walk. Plus of course you have a chair that goes everywhere with you.

️wrote last edited by [email protected]Last time I was in L.A. (Barbenheimer - Mann's Chinese Theater), I rented a scooter from Cloud of Goods. Did the same thing in Vegas. Lifesaver.
They delivered straight to the hotel, it was ready for me when I checked in.
