Griffith Observatory in LA
While researching my upcoming trip to LA, a friend alerted me to the Griffith Observatory.
http://www.griffithobs.org/ Looks like it reopened not too long ago, and admission requires advance reservation (not unlike the Getty Villa). Anyway, by looking at the website, I can't really tell what's there to see. Has anyone been and can enlighten me? I have a rather packed schedule while in LA, and will only try to fit it in if it's that great. |
Been there several times but not recently (but i'll top this post for you).

We went the first week it re-opened. While it's still free to get into the observatory, there's a charge to take the shuttle there. In order to ward off the anticipated crowds, one must take a shuttle. I would recommend going late in the day so you can view the telescope at night. It is well worth the trip!
|
also be aware that there are long waits to get on the shuttle up there for your reserved time.
i haven't been myself, but spoke to a couple last night who waited an hour for the shuttle! i think it would be a worthwhile destination while you're in LA! |
Can anyone elaborate what's there to see while there?
