Incredible how beautiful this place is, super clean. The staff super helpful and everything went super smoothly. We parked at the bottom (free parking) and took the bus. 50 cents per person. You can pay with cash. 10 dollar parking all the way up, great place to go before sunset.

It was my first time at the Griffith Park Observatory. I stayed for the star show, which was phenomenal, and got to see the only Mark IX projector, if I'm correct, which is a marvel—the only one working in the state of California. There is one on display in New York. There is plenty to do and see; it is a great place for you and your family to make cherished memories.

Ain't no other Observatory in the world like it. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Make sure, if you want to see the sunset, GET HERE EARLY! MOST OTHER TOURISTS AND LOCALS WILL BE THERE TOO! Best way to get there, just use an Uber! ( easiest way ). We loved it; wish that it wasnt a 12 hour flight away 🇳🇿. Will, from Auckland, New Zealand.

A place to sit quietly and watch the cityscape. Host of displays in the museum. Free entry but parking payable. For a minimum fee tour, park your car at a parking lot near the Greek Theatre parking lot and take the bus ride up to the observatory, which commutes to and from the observatory till 10 pm. 50 cents per person for a one-way ride.

As others have suggested this is a must watch in LA. And dont ever miss the planetarium shows. Thats the best $10 you can spend in LA. My only complaint is with parking and its directions. I feel they purposely make the parking hard and its insanely expensive. Did I say, views are awesome from the deck?
