We didn't actually go into the museum we just did the outside walk and that was awesome! Can't wait to go back and actually check out the museum next time lol

The Tar Pits museum is a must see for anyone who wishes to understand what today's LA is built upon. The exhibition shows a reconstructed skeletons made of bones that where found in this site. Recommended to everyone - families and grownups!

Family fun and education at its best. Bring the family or go solo. Either way it is an excellent journey through prehistoric history.

We were drawn to this place as it's featured in many a movie and it didn't disappoint. It's fascinating to see the tar pits right opposite sky scrapers full of movie executives. The musuem is really interesting, the kids loved it and it was a beautiful place to spend the morning. Maybe a touch pricey but as the operation is pretty much run by volunteers you can't complain. We had a very enjoyable time here.Recommend also the salad bar a couple of doors down for a really super salady lunch with the gorgeous people!

While there is a lot to see in the museum, you can actually learn a lot from taking the walk around the museum and visiting the actual open dig site. There are symbols on the sidewalk that take you to the site where they are working and will explain their finds.

This was one of the first places i was curious about upon moving to LA. I really enjoyed this museum. It has a lot of exhibits and there is often people cleaning the fossils while you watch. Pretty cool!

I really enjoyed the Excavator Tour! I arrived late for the last tour, but I found the group and joined up. Our tour guide, Ashley Fragomeni, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Ashley also went above and beyond by taking the time to catch me up on what I missed (after the tour), answering any questions I came up with. Talking to her/taking the tour really provided a lot more depth for the rest if my visit. The museum had displays of the ACTUAL fossils that they found. This really makes it much more exciting! They had assembled many of the bones into life-size displays. I also liked that I could look It was cool to see the tar pit seepage around the park. The big areas were fenced off to prevent accidents, but could still be viewed. This is an affordable, fascinating day outing. It is well worth a visit!

Didn't really know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised here. It's small, but quite interesting, and they throw in a free tour of the facility too. There is plenty of outdoor space to relax too. A good way to enjoy a couple of hours (no longer) away from the hustle. It's almost like you're not in the middle of a big city. Educational, and our daughter really enjoyed it.

The museum was not as big as I was expecting and it was a little expensive. The do have some interesting displays and it's worth a trip. Not something that would take more than an hour or two.

We actually chose our hotel in LA because it was close to the Tar Pits. It's something different and very interesting. We spent about an hour here before joining the throngs, a 15 min walk up the road, at the Farmers Market and The Grove.

The La Brea Tar Pits is a must see/do when in Los Angeles It's usually not crowded and the exterior areas are quite relaxing The displays are amazing and there is a working lab with a big glass window where you can watch scientists in action Very much worth the time to go here

We are very happy that we gave you a good send off for your visit to Los Angeles. Yeah, somehow Asphalt Pits doesn't have the same ring to it.

There are a lot of gooey areas popping up in the park. I'll admit I have poked at the "tar" with a stick as well. It's kind of like a smaller version of our Tar Pull (located both inside the Museum and Pit 91). Gives you a better understanding of how hard it was for animals back in the Ice Age to escape being trapped in the "tar."

I really enjoyed this afternoon out, it was on my bucket list and would go again. the museum was small but full of history of the Tar Pits & surrounding area. My family thought it was boring but it depends on your interests. I love the thought of Dinosaurs ect roaming around LA. Plenty of out door space for children.

If you visit Los Angeles and you skip the La Brea Tar Pits, you've missed out on one of the coolest sights the city has to offer. This site and the Page Museum showcase fossils from over 11,000 years ago. What makes this place so special is that the tar pits are still visible to visitors, and there are teams undergoing active excavations all the time. You can see real paleontologists working in the fossil lab and also in some of the sites across the grounds. The museum is small, but informative. Not only do you get to see some of the fossils that have been discovered over the years, the museum does a good job showing you the timeline of the city- you leave understanding how a vibrant metropolis developed around such an important site and what has been done to preserve it.Even if you aren't a dinosaur nerd, this place will blow your mind. Go. Just go.
