My husband and I visited in 1996. He is deceased now(2000), but I am coming back to CA. and I want to re-visit the LaBrea Tar Pits. Thank You

Great park. Very interesting place to take your kids. You can see the tar pits and exhibits of the fossils that have been extracted from them. Free entry. Parking is $6.

We weren't sure what to expect, but it was an interesting museum. quite different than other museums, and you can see the tar seeping up and the things they find in it.

Awesome place, and a lot of history behind. Excellent for adults and kids. I can't believe that in the middle of LA we find history from thousand of years ago, and the finding never stops. Every summer thousands of bones are found in this place.

I have enjoyed visiting the La Brea Tar Pits since I was a little girl. Now my two boys enjoy it with me. From the moment you enter the grounds and see the large pond full of tar, to the landscaped areas, where more tar seeps out through cracks (!) you really get the sensation of what it must have been like in prehistoric times when the whole area ...

In the middle of the craziness that is LA, the tar pits, the Page Museum and the park surrounding them are a peaceful refuge. Sit by the boooke and watch the dragon flies flutter around. It's also a great place to take kids, and out of town visitors. It captures everyone's imagination.

but one word of warning keep your kids off the low grassy areas tar is seeping all over the place and it gets on everything and wont come off.
it is a tar pit after all.
it sits next to the museum and is a great place to relax.

The La Brea Tar Pits was our highlight to
Los Angeles. It was a educational highlight
but in a fun and interesting way. The 10 minute movie they had showed exactly what happened at that time and you could then relate what you saw in the movie to the fossilized bones in the museum. The visit to "Pit 91" was also most interesting. You can ...

This is a very interesting spot go and check out on the Miracle Mile. It’s not a whole day thing but it’s fun to go and take the kids and check out this ancient site. The Museum has plenty to offer. Most of the exhibits were excavated on site. So it’s definitely worth the trip. Being an LA Native I my dad brought me here a few times and being an adult now I have gone back many times and I still enjoy it everytime.
