Muito muito muito bom! Se você curte museus de História Natural, é um prato cheio. O foco são animais da última glaciação e a exposição, que não é muito grande, é de excelente qualidade. Mamutes, tigres de dente de sabre e demais. E eles foram retirados do próprio local onde o museu está. Inspirou aquele episódio do "Família Dinossauro" em que querem jogar a avó no poço de piche. Do lado do LAMCA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art, uma espécie de MASP deles (bem maior))

I am not sure what I had in mind coming into this, but the experience was very good even if different than expected. We waited a day to come because it says online you need tickets on limited availability to go to the "museum". What we did not know is that 75 percent of what you see is outside in the free public park area with the last 25% being inside the museum that has limited access. The tar pits themselves are interesting areas. They are spots where oil comes up from faults and interacts with surface water. They sound far more visual than they are, but there is nothing wrong with that if you manage expectations. There are multiple fenced off "pits" that show where the oil and tar have come up through the ground, but only a couple of them really look interesting - the lake pit being one as you can see big bubbles coming up through the water. The funny and interesting part is that the tar pits pop up wherever they please. There are clearly smaller areas that were fenced as something bubbled up wherever it broke through the grass or dirt, which is really interesting to realize how "live" these pits still are in the middle of developed LA. The museum itself was worth the wait an the time as it has all sorts of fossils and great exhibits that the kids really got into, so I recommend that you make sure you have time for the actual museum if this is your first visit. I don't know if this place has much repeat value unless you come for a specific event.

The Ice Age revisited! Visiting the actual tar pits dating back centuries gave a whole new perspective of the development of our planet. The pits continue to not only bubble but also to provide fossils of mammoths, saber toothed cats and so many other animals and insects. After touring the tar pits, a visit to the museum is a must. The various discoveries from the pits are put together like an intricate puzzle forming completed skeletons of the centuries old mammals and insects. It is an exciting and eye opening experience. Both children and adults will be impressed with a visit here.

This was a terrific experience. You can actually view the tar pits in the outdoor area for no cost. It is very interesting. The fossil/fact tour by Reuben was wonderful and he answered many questions. The indoor museum has a few, and it is well laid out and worth the price. Park in the public lot if their lot is full. Lots of good places to eat within walking distance. It was an enjoyable experience.

The history of the tar pits is pretty amazing, and so for that I gave it three stars. However, the actual site itself, and the viewing of the tar pits was a bit of a letdown. My husband and I went together and we did not get a tour guide and we’re happy we did not pay for that extra. The one tar pit that was active was actually closed so we didn’t get to see that part of it. All in all it’s cool to have seen it but definitely a disappointment overall. The staff is very friendly and helpful and that’s why I would give it a 3 star not 2 stars.

These tar pits are a 50+ year tradition with our family, shared again with our young ones as it was shared with us. Lots of improvements over the years making the destination perfect for all interests and ages. Take public transit if at all possible to this destination and spend time time appreciating the real world up close, in the middle of everything "Hollywood." Everyone will learn something fascinating they didn't expect. Don't miss the pistons "stuck" in the tar because in a matter of seconds you'll really understand the physics of getting stuck. Help support the Museum and it's research. Become a member, your ticket purchases may be applied to your membership. Enjoy!

So had been wanting to come here for many years and finally made it. Watching the recent tv series "La Brea" inspired me even more to say, I have to do this and see La Brea, which only the opening show in the series I believe actually filmed some here. In any case, not plugging the show, but this is a super cool place to see. I love the design of the main building first off, it's a really cool design with a plant area in the middle which you can walk above and gaze into as well. And the structure makes it so you can walk around the display areas really easily. There is even a window to look in on the active scientists doing their work and research, talk about working in a petrie dish lol, but I suppose they get used to it. There is also a short 3D film you can pay 6 dollars extra for and a anime sort of puppet show, that I didn't make but sounded super cool. Went on a tour which is included and boy would I recommend this. They take you around the park and really in depth explain what is actively going on here and apparently through out the LA area as far as oil and tar and so many bones and and fossils still being found and investigated. Fascinating to see how the oil is actively still seeping. up and where. They have so many containers and explain how it's moved to the location and from where so that they can as time allows and volunteers work to clean up the finds over time. Another cool thing is that the parking lot is one price and you can go to all the other museums in the area.

The vast collection of perfectly preserved bones of Pleistocene fauna was very impressive. There are still a vast number of fossils to be processed. In addition to the megafauna, there are many small creatures like mice and insects. Awesome!

There is a nice Starbucks down the street and many others cafes and coffee shops. The Petersen Auto Museum has a real nice coffee shop and it’s nearby.

Depending on the age of the group I suggest 2 hours plus. If you take part in any of the guided activities or watch the movie then allow more. For food we recommend going up Fairfax Ave for a few blocks to the LA Farmers Market. This is a real gem, has plenty of fantastic food, handmade ice cream and lots and lots of shade.

I was reading some of the reviews online and saw photos of an open pit with bones that you can look down into. It looked like an active dig site. Is that still open? Where is it? We just visited and never saw anything like that even though we took the guided tour. We saw Project 23, but everything was in boxes there.

I don't think so -- I didn't see any signs for free wifi and it's not referenced in their site. On that note my cell phone reception at the museum was a bit slow - with text messages delayed.

Is there any problem getting a parking space in the lot? We will be going around 10 a.m. on Saturday. Thanks for any advice!

There is a large parking lot behind the museum. It is not free to park in it though. I think it was $12. You can also park on the streets around it but it is tight around there and there are meters. There is no time limit to park in the parking lot, just until the museum closes. There are also another museums or two next to the pits so if you wanted to look into them you could leave your car in the lot and just walk to them as well.

We have a 9 hour layover in LAX, actually less after going through customs, and we would like to see La Brea Tar Pits during that time. About how much could we expect to spend for a Uber or Taxi ride there from LAX, (it's 10 miles). Also, are there lockers at LAX for us to stow our carry-on bags, outside of security because we'll be coming from the international terminal and we would want to stow them before we go through security at the domestic terminal. We don't land until 11:40 so figure it takes us 1 hour minimum to get through customs, we wouldn't leave the airport until probably at least 1:00 and they close at 5:00, would that work?

Hi Carol/Joe,
Not sure on the lockers at LAX, but being such a big airport, I bet they have something available. Might check the airport website on that one.
As far as the Tar Pits are concerned, I think you should have plenty of time. LA traffic is unpredictable, but you've given yourself a big enough window to do the Tar Pits and LACMA, if you wanted to (next to each other).
