Packed with people on weekends but worth the trip! A lot to do and explore now that they have built the new wing underground. The shows are fantastic and intriguing, and the exhibits are interesting and interactive. The views of LA are stunning! Can't say I recommend the cafeteria- the food is low quality and the fruit cups are moldy. Eat elsewhere and then enjoy everything else this wonderful park and Observatory have to offer!
Great place to hike and get your mind off worries. Definitely bring a cold water bottle,sunscreen, and sunglasses. Fresh wind and an amazing overview of the city. Dog friendly
I came with my family and it was a great experience. The view is so beautiful, there is a museum inside, a theater, a dinner and a small shop. The many downside to this is that it's all the way to the peak as well it is so packed. There are so many people.
The bus is free if you don't want to walk or take a car since the higher you go parking is more expensive.

Saw this place more than hundred times on TV, but you don't realize how astonishing Griffith Observatory is until you are here in person.
The building of the observatory itself is such an elegant architecture situated up on the hill of Hollywood, plus the story of Mr. Griffith, this is definitely a must visit place when you are in LA downtown area.
Meanwhile, this is also the perfect location to appreciate the night view of the Great LA metropolitan area, just utterly beautiful.

Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, stands as a testament to urban green spaces. It's not just a park; it's an escape. The iconic Griffith Observatory offers both educational experiences and breathtaking views of the L.A. skyline. Trails, like the one leading to the Hollywood Sign, cater to hikers of all levels, revealing panoramic vistas at their peaks. The Los Angeles Zoo, train rides, and horseback adventures ensure there's something for everyone. The park's historical merit, combined with its recreational opportunities, makes it a must-visit for both locals and tourists. A green haven in a bustling city!
We spent our last night in LA at this gorgeous, iconic place. What a view! It was crowded but was fine. You can see views from everywhere. Definitely go inside and see the museum. Traffic was heavy getting in and out, so plan for that. We opted to walk down via the trail. Great choice, just know that it is STEEP and dusty, so be careful. Shoes with good tread would be recommended.
Absolutely amazing sights of the entire city, just breathtaking. The museum is very informative and nice. Highly recommend if you're visiting to take this place in. Plan on spending a while here as you take in everything. Do yourself a favor and plan towards the end of the day so you can see the city in the daytime and nighttime. Very beautiful aight to behold.
