I am sorry but I have no idea. I suggest you contact the Observatory directly.

Depending on what time you are talking about, i guess the only limiting factor is if they close access after a certain hour. Perhaps call the observatory and ask if the grounds are open all night if not, what time they close it down.

Yes., I believe so. Only the dome where you watch the films are in the Samuel Oschin Observatory. This part was closed when we were there however the rest of the building was open. This is where the exhibits are located as well as the viewing area of the live image of the sun. Unfortunately, the viewing apparatus that you look into for the solar image was broken down. The facility is free of charge. Parking near the building is expensive however you can walk up in which case that would be free too. Only the Samuel Oschin Observatory has a charge for watching whatever show they have on. The telescopes are outside. Get in line at or before 6:30pm., otherwise you may have a long line. There are also 5 or 6 telescopes outside on the lawn which are just about as powerful as the big Zeiss. Hopefully you'll get to see some planets. Fall is best for Jupiter and Saturn viewing apparently. Hopefully this helps. Great for kids, very educational.

Still trying to figure out when it may reopen. Seems like the rest of California is going to reopen this week. Does anyone have an update? I didn’t see anything on their website.

No there are not.

Night time 😂😂

Hi Spencer... This location is still closed to the public, however when it re-opens...soon, I hope, there will be specific things to experience here. The planetarium shows are scheduled for each day and tickets for those go quickly. Enter on the level that has handicapped parking. Look for the entrance to the planetarium then purchase your ticket (s) at that time. Waiting could result in missing the planetarium experience. After that go to the beginning which starts downstairs. There is a video about the expansion of the Observatory which you can view ahead of your trip. It helps explain why you start on the lower level. This is the first tourist experience I enjoyed when considering moving to Los Angeles. Visiting here sealed the deal in 1981. I still love it here and enjoy the Griffith Observatory a few times a year. Hope you enjoy it as well.

Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for adults over 60, and $3 for ages 5 to 12.
