First of all, I love the Art Deco architecture of the building. The Astronomers Monument stands in front, with names like Galileo and Newton. Inside, the science exhibits are fascinating and many are simple enough for children to understand. The Observatory first opened in 1935. It closed in 2002 for a major expansion and re-opened in late fall of 2006.... More

Many nice exhibits. This is a fun place to visit and has very interesting displays. Go at night and see the city lights.

Hiking trails are wonderful, the views are fantastic and if you want to get away from the joggers there are just foot paths that you can exclude yourself and they are great! Can't say enough about this park!

An added feature is there is plenty... More

Not many people realize that they have this free, great resource in LA. And there is more to it than just the great views from the Observatory. There are many miles of hiking trails, where you can forget that you are in the middle of a huge metropolis (until you get to the top of a ridge). A hike to... More

Nice place to get away from it all when you are tired of the Hollywood hype. Scenic views and much land to hike around. Check it out next time you are in L.A.
