this is a good place to visit but i have heard things from the people that work in the inside of the museum not make me want to go its awful how they treat their works and pay them nothing. we care about the art but also about the workers one day the line was so long i asked a cashier did they have more staff and they said no because of lay offs and cut backs and they just opened a new location shame on the Getty museum.

Everything about the Getty Center is wonderful. THe art and the building itself is worth the trip, and fun can be found for all ages. It's best to book a reservation if you want to eat at the resturant, but don't bother. The staff is snobby, the food is sub-par and overpriced. For the same vew while dinning head to the cafeteria at suset, ...

Just astonishing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/26/08
The art there is amazing! It's such a beautiful attraction, I could spend days there. Come early because there's so much to look at. The only bad thing is the looooooong line for parking, but it's worth it.
THERE IS NOTHING TO DISLIKE, THIS MUSEUM IS LIKE NO OTHER. ARCHECTURE IS MODERN, BUT FOR THOSE THAT DON'T LIKE MODERN STRUCTURES THIS WILL CERTAINLY CHANGE YOUR CONCEPT OF MODERN ARCH. THE MUSEUM COMPRIMISES OF A SERIES OF BLDGS. THAT RESIDE ON A MOUNTAIN SLOPE. ALL BLDGS. HOLD DRIFFERENT EXIHBITS OF ARTS AND THERE OWN SPECIAL CHARM WITHIN. ...

Big and Empty..
By Ju-Ju Bean, 02/08/08
Location, Location, Location.... Though The Getty is right off the freeway, it happens to be the busiest freeway in the country.(405) It was a bit out of reach really.. It's a nice place, clean, new, and the view.. You really can see the ocean.. However, the Getty is empty. I'm just gonna say that I think all the great art in the world ...

So much to see, not enough time
By quinlangordon, 01/17/08
As soon as the tram reached the expansive marble plaza we were greeted by a docent,and we knew we were in for a treat. Everywhere you look there is art. It might be the gardens,bent re-bar used as a trellis for bougenvilla,sculptures in the grass or the buildings themselves. We went through a few of the exibits and marveled at the pieces. I was ...

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Getty Center!
By Courtney, 12/10/07
We tried to cram the Getty Center into a 2 hour visit... This is NOT enough time!! As we left, we felt as though we had cheated ourselves by not spending more time there. It was definitely one of the best parts of our trip. Make time, and definitely explore everything this museum has to offer. It is a worthwhile experience.

VERY INSPIRING
By DINO, 10/04/07
LOVED THE SETTING-WAY UP ON TOP OF THE HILL. THE FACILITY IS BEAUTIFULLY DONE AND THE EXHIBITS ARE WONDERFUL. THE GROUNDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND WELL MAINTAINED-A TRUE WORK OF ART ITSELF. JUST A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND THE DAY AND GET LOST IN!

Inspiring and Interactive

All the displays were interactive that my fiance' and I have been toying with the idea of getting a telescope of our own.
The movie (though you pay extra) really felt like you are watching the stars and the seats were so comfy.
I am planning to return to the observatory, and this time at night.
