  • Fun for the entire family, young and old.
    By DavidNH, 09/13/08
    We visited the La Brea Tar Pits today and it was great fun. I'm fifty-eight and took my nine year old niece and my brother and sister to the tar pits and had a blast. You can still see tar oozing, and methane bubbling from the earth, and the collection of bones they've found there is huge. The wall with the 404 Dire wolf skulls, just a ...

  • Weird thing to find in the middle of a major city
    By jamidwyer, 07/14/08
    Nestled between a Staples and a Starbucks, why, it's a pit of tar from which they've excavated the remains of all kinds of unfortunate pre-historic animals. Weird and awesome. Don't miss it -- when I lived in LA it was a must for out-of-town visitors.

  • Critic review
    By spa.brat, 05/06/08
    The tar pits are fun both inside and out. For the price, you would think the musuem would be larger, but it is still intresting.
    This is a great place to bring the family, and a wonderful place to pack a picnic to enjoy on the grass.
    Bubbles of tar can be spotted all around the park, and during the summer season you can watch people digging for bones in the pits.

  • Tarpit delight
    By disappointed..., 03/20/08
    Excellent visit. Exciting to see actual tarpits that
    are being excavated and smell the tar bubbling
    and oozing just like years ago. Inside the museum,
    you have a chance to see many of the specimens that
    have been found and reconstructed. You also have
    the chance to see palenthologist working behind the
    glass.........cleaning and preparing the specimen.
    Very education. Not a full day but half a day's
    fun!

    It was a very exiting and interesting place to go, being able to study creatures of the Ice Age. I can't wait for a return trip

  • Amazing Contrast
    By safeships, 11/03/07
    An amazing conrast of true scientific and educational value in the middle of the most vulgar, cras and commercialzed place in the US (outside of NY).

    Beam up up Scotty.. or beam me back.. I'd like to be in a nearby tree watching the goings and comings 25,000 years ago.

    Would be be possible to place some additional tar pits around LA to ...
