Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits

The family move: Get here before LACMA opens (plenty of street parking ), run around the grounds, tumble down the hill , bring bikes + a picnic , then hit the museum before naptime. Solid LA day.

See a unique natural history museum for fossils excavated from the La Brea Tar Pits, which trapped animals here for the past 50,000 years (the period before the Ice Age), right in the middle of LA!

It’s so amazing getting so close to millions years old fossils of marmots etc. todays day life..! Be careful not to get tar on your shoes while walking in the garden .

I assure you, the lighting at this location (especially around 3-4pm) is to die for. If you don't pull out your phone for a selfie, something's amiss.

There are areas in Hancock Park , location of the La Brea Tar Pits/Page Museum , that still have tar actively seeping though the ground. Be careful not to touch it! Sticky & messy! Check link for more! Read more
