My family and I have visited the Getty many times over the years and have always had a great experience. We traveled to LA for my 16 year old’s birthday and visiting the Getty was the #1 requested activity. Our visit didn’t disappoint. The art, architecture, and landscaping always bring us joy.

I could tell that I was in a world destination by how many languages I overheard throughout the day. I definitely got in all my steps exploring this crown jewel overlooking West Los Angeles. Of course we loved gazing at Van Gogh’s “Irises” and Monet’s “Spring” but also found personal favorites that we never knew existed. The gardens were serene, and the weather was glorious. This place will never be overrated and that’s saying a lot considering it’s #1 of all the things to see in LA. It really does qualify as a bucket list item.

We didn't have specific plans so made our way over to the Getty. It was nice. The price is right. We aren't huge art fans so it was nice to see some art and then enjoyed the gardens. It was hard to access with public transport so you'll need to uber or drive there. It was worth it if you're looking for a quiet activity to do. I wouldn't bring my family here.

The Getty Center was wonderful. It is free although there is a charge for parking. The staff(especially one ) was incredibly helpful in directing us to the exact rooms of the masterpieces we wanted to see. Lunch in the Cafe overlooking the garden was delightful. The gardens were lovely.

Beautiful place, a landmark. This place was under my radar, but heard so many good reviews that I had to visit. Well, let me tell you: it's a must visit while in LA. Meticulous gardens, painting collection priceless, sculptures, and those views from LA!

This is a spectacular attraction, as much for the jaw dropping architecture, views and gardens as the art collection itself. One thing I appreciated is how there is a clear ‘pathway’ through the exhibits which are well ordered and structured across multiple buildings and floors. Make sure you leave enough time to wander round the enchanting garden area. The cafe also has a good range of lunch options that are not expensive by LA standards.

The Getty centre is a full day out in the most beautiful surroundings with stunning collections of neo classical furniture, paintings including a stunning collection of Impressionism. The gardens are a joy to walk in and so imaginatively presented. It is a must-see centre & any visit to LA is hollow without spending time there. It’s a full day out for the parking fee of $20. However, be warned that refreshments are extremely expensive with a child’s sandwich meal at $20 and a chicken wrap at $27. Museum shop is equally expensive. Take a lunch and have a great day out.

This was my first visit (hadn't been in Los Angeles since it was built) and everyone told me I had to go. They were right. You have to go. It has an excellent collection in a modern set of buildings (they call them pavilions) that are art themselves. All atop a hilltop setting with great views if not fogged in (which it was the day we went). The collection covers from Medieval to modern and everything in between. Mainly well known masters. The average quality of the art and sculpture (lots of it) is excellent. Because the collection is spread among five buildings, it doesn't seem overwhelming, but it adds up to a good-sized collection. It took up almost two hours to see it all, and we were moving along. Admission is free but parking is $20. You take a tram from the parking area to the museum. If you can get someone to drop you off at the parking lot, then it is free. There were lots of school groups getting dropped off by bus. I can see why. What an experience. There is a cafe although we didn't visit it. Just a great experience.

We went to the Getty center on a busy Saturday. Although there were a lot of people there, we never felt that it was crowded. They have an excellent collection of art from various different eras. While they don’t have as many actual examples of each artist, they do have a representative collection of high-quality art. In addition, the facility itself is an artwork. The architecture is inspiring and the views are great from up there. We also had lunch in one of their cafés, and the food was very good though expensive. It was a great way to spend the better part of the day.

We underestimated how much time we would spend here. This place is big and there is ALOT to see. We took a highlights tour which gave us a brief overview of what this place offers. I highly recommend. We also took an Architecture tour. The docent who gave this tour, Clarence Timberlake was exceptional! So well informed with lots of facts, very engaging with a sense of humor. Just A+. We spent 4 hours here just touching the surface of what this center has to offer. Overall, we had a great time with fabulous docent tours, killer views of the LA area and a nice lunch. Can't beat the admission price - FREE! Highly recommend.
