Fun for the entire family, young and old.
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 quarter of their collection is pretty neat. There are two short film presentations, and you can walk around the grounds and see more excavations, oozing tar. The park is only about a city block in size, and the museum isn't huge, but will take you about two hours or so to feel like you've seen everything. I'm glad we went.
