What travelers are saying
- Henry SLos Angeles, CA2 contributionsLarge crowds but still fun. Was able to do a couple rides before lunch. Just make sure to wear good shoes you’ll be doing a lot of walking.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ang B265 contributionsGreat to see but so packed and luckily we were on a tour as parking looks to be a nightmare
Plenty of things to see and loads having picnicsWritten June 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can get there by bus if you want (i did), then there's a free tram thing that takes you up the hill to the centre. There are 5 or 6 buildings full of art, some of it fantastic. You could easily spend 5 or 6 hours hereWritten May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- elaine d1 contributionThe ship is very well maintained and the tour guide was able to answer all questions.
the museum area is interesting and history is well researchedWritten May 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The vehicles on show were amazing. Going from the low rider street cars , which were stunning in their design to tv and movie favourites which were great to see. If anyone is in the area I would recommend a visit!!!Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- iancarpyMilton Keynes, UK169 contributionsGreat arena to watch basketball - and as a bonus Lakers won! Had access to the AmEx Centurion Lounge that was cool - 2 free drinks and somewhere to relax before the game. Would love to return next time we are in LAWritten May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ang B265 contributionsGreat to visit
So busy we were glad we were on a tour as parking is a real issue
Shame you can’t drive up closer
You can walk but it’s a fair distance up hill
Great views of LAWritten June 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Parking was $15 and paid by ticketed machine at entrance and exit.
Science Center was surprisingly big given the free price tag. Lots of interesting exhibits throughout...thoughtfully organized by region/category.
I particularly enjoyed the space area which had a space shuttle simulator ($6).
There is a wonderful children's area with lots of puzzles and activities for younger ones. This includes an outdoor area with a play area. Really appreicated having this available for our 4-year old.
Great way to spend a few hours. (Estimate about 2-3 hours to see and read everything they have to offer)Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - CVTravelersCastro Valley, CA245 contributionsMy wife and I spent about 2 hours touring the museum and walking around the grounds. We both agreed that the overall experience exceeded our expectations and the museum was truly a highlight. We are not big museum people but the exhibits in this museum are interesting and engaging. The museum volunteers roam the exhibits and offer additional insights which are helpful and round out the experience. We also enjoyed seeing the fossil lab and watching actual fossil cleaning work in process. The outside exhibits were helpful in increasing our understanding of the nature and composition of the area and added to the realness of the overall visit. We definitely recommend stopping by for a visit. The museum parking lot is convenient although certainly a bit pricey.Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amy MCompton, CA195 contributionsReally nice walk with a Meetup Group. I think total we walked almost 6 miles. One of the group members knew little tidbits about the park, so it made it a better walk. The trail is moderately challenging since there are parts that are either a steep incline or decline (my foot slid a couple of times). However, I think about half of our steps were fairly level and path was very pretty clear. I felt like my tennis shoes were adequate. There was also a couple of water points and picnic areas. There were definitely some incredible views of LA and even the hillside was very lovely. Looking forward to next hike.Written June 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BushkaTexasTexas566 contributionsOur daughter is an architecture student so we went to tour the Disney concert hall. The only negative is you are not allowed to look inside the concert hall seating area with the stage but only the hallways, gardens and outside. We enjoyed studying this beautiful structure but the concert hall should allow tours to see it all if you are going to offer this as an experience.Written May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paisley PrincessEdina, MN125 contributionsCame with a tour on a Sunday morning, there was a lowrider show going on. Venice Beach is a grimmer, grittier cousin to Santa Monica, but that’s what gives it its charm. Only bad part was the lack of benches or places to sit, which might be to keep the homeless folks out…But it also keeps people from really enjoying the Venice Beach Boardwalk. I liked watching the people and seeing the carsWritten May 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not
