Join us for a beautiful and informative nature walk at Deukmejian wilderness park in Glendale, where we will learn about much of the native plants that make up our Southern California landscape. Jacqueline Waldman, photographer turned nature educator at Deukmejian park, will lead the slow-paced hike and teach us about the flora and fauna of the area. During our nature walk, participants will be invited to forage site-specific weeds and fallen organic matter for a subsequent camera-less imaging workshop at the interpretive center.

A sneak peek at our events

What people are saying about us...

Curio Club has filled a large void in Los Angeles for tours of the weird and wonderful. Visiting the occult places in LA is one of my favorite past times, and Curio Club has found places I hadn’t even dreamed of but now go out of my way to tell anyone who will listen about them. I’m so thankful this group not only exists, but encourages us to go outside of our comfort zones and experience something new. Ben is a fantastic tour guide, he’s informative and entertaining but leaves time for participants to experience these wonderful worlds for themselves. 10/10 would recommend! - Alyssa K

Curio Club feels like an insider's guide to the strange, unique, and wonderful hidden gems of Los Angeles. Each event is an incredible opportunity for adventure and learning that will make you fall in love with Los Angeles all over again. - Michael M

The folks at Curio Club LA put on fascinating and fun events, but more than that,  they can help you find a more personal and special relationship with the city we live in. Their knowledge of hidden curiosities adds color and detail at the edges of the overall LA picture, and makes it feel deeper, richer, and more alive. If you’re craving the spark of stumbling on something you never knew existed (but instantly love), hop on the Curio Club mailing list. Attending their events makes me feel lucky to live in this city - I highly recommend!

Curio Club has the inside scoop on all things strange and wonderful in SoCal.  At every outing, you’re likely to learn about not just something new, but something you never even knew existed. - Randy D
