I visited the La Brea Tar Pits recently and had a great experience. We bought tickets on the spot with no hassle, which was convenient. We spent about two hours exploring the site before heading to LAX. The exhibits were fascinating, showcasing a variety of prehistoric fossils and providing a glimpse into the ancient world. The outdoor areas, including the active excavation sites, were particularly engaging. It's a compact but enriching visit that fit perfectly into our schedule. Overall, it's a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in natural history and paleontology.
Visiting the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum is an unforgettable journey into the past of our planet. This unique museum in the heart of Los Angeles offers a captivating glimpse into prehistoric life. As you walk around the site, you can see actual tar pits where archaeological excavations are still ongoing. Inside the museum, an incredible collection of fossils awaits you, including skeletons of mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and giant sloths. The exhibits are presented in an interactive format, making the visit engaging for both adults and children. The museum's scientific staff are always ready to share their knowledge and answer questions, creating a sense of active participation in the research work. The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum is a place where science meets history, inspiring and astonishing with its scale and significance. A must-visit!
This was a cool place, especially for the kids. However, two exhibit areas were closed, with no mention at admission and, of course, no discount. The indoor museum itself was relatively small, and the pits themselves, according to my kids, were quite underwhelming. That said, it is a very unique and interesting place. The skeletons and life-sized models on display shed real perspective on the massive scale of the prehistoric animals that once roamed North America. Had the cost not been over $100 for my family of six, I would have rated it higher.
Wonderful and educational for all ages. Who knew LA had such a rich fossil history smack in the downtown area?!? Awesome to see the active dig sites and lab to preserve and document the fossils. This was on my bucket list and so glad we made the time to visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This museum is educational. My favorite part was the outside area which is free. I enjoyed seeing real tar pits. The museum inside, which is paid entry, was nice but I did feel like the price for our entire family was a lot for the small size of the museum. I do understand though that they are funding research which is important. We did pay and go inside and saw some interesting and educational exhibits. Overall this was a great stop for our family. There are bathrooms in the museum. There is a movie that costs extra. Just don't miss out on all the interesting things to see around the grounds.
It was amazing. A lot of fun and super cool. So much information and some of the most amazing fossils. Highly recommend, but make sure you walk the grounds as well.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Real interesting place to spend a solid hour. Talk a walk looking at the tar pits bubbling which is pretty fascinating. A lot of space and open grass fields, great for picnics or to read a book which I saw plenty of. That was just the outside. Parking was $18 and entry was $15. Completely worth it but next time I’ll plan to pay the meter and walk there.
There is so much to see at the Tar Pits and Museum. Great place to visit. A lot of information and history. It was a great day to walk around in the park, too! We got in early, so there was no wait, but if you are going toeards afternoon, I would purchase tickets in advance as it did get busy. Definitely add this to your visit if you are in the area!
Free to enter the Tar Pits. $15 to enter Museum xtra $ for the movie. $18 to park on site : I don't feel too bad about the parking fee as i have some injuries that cause some pain and the parking is very convenient for me. Also the fees serve a very worthy purpose. Me and my daughter really enjoyed the visit. It was a beautiful late winter season day at about 70 to 72 degree max temp. The gift shop was grossly over priced but i bought a fossil that was reasonable to add to my collection. You can walk a dog on a leash outside if you want to. We over heard a few small tours and all the information plaques were informative. There was a very hands on feel and a lot of replica casts that you can get photos with and touch. The pits were very cool and actively bubbling. The revelation was the tiny tar puddles that randomly show on the grass and outside next to the sidewalk. Look out for them so you do not get sticky shoes and also poke a stick into one just for fun. A few decent places to eat are right nearby. Excellent salad place or burger joint and coffee shop. It's not too large and an hour or so can be just perfect.
Came here with my kiddos on New Year’s Day. The museum was closed. But we did enjoy seeing the tar pits! My kids had a blast seeing the bubbles come out of the pits and learning about fossils. They love the mammoths statues around one of the pits. The kids enjoyed playing on the grass fields as well. Definitely recommend for anyone to come even when it’s closed. We had a great time.
