What travellers are saying
- Sunshine5251293 contributionsThe quiet Villa and the views from it where worth the price of admission. The statues and exhibits were wonderful.Written 30 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WayneTechMississauga, Canada269 contributionsIt was a bit of a mission to get here with all the road closures and parking availability but all in all, very fun way to spend an evening. If you're into science, this is definitely a place to visit.Written 30 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- April CLos Angeles, CA4 contributionsUniversal Studios Hollywood is one of my favorite places to go to. I love Hogsmeade and many of the rides, and I go numerous times per year. The only thing I would say I'd like to see improved is for there to be more rides and activities, but they are always adding to the park. For example, Super Mario World is slated to open up in early 2023.Written 30 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter L4 contributionsMy son and I enjoyed our visit. The museum is well laid out and the displays have informative story boards.
If you are an automotive enthusiast, I would definitely recommend spending the extra money to tour the basement storage area known as "The Vault". The cars in the vault are parked in rows rather than in museum displays but our guide was very knowledgable and he enjoyed sharing stories about many of the cars.Written 28 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great for kids (and kids at heart) - didn't buy a wand but think for the potter-philes visiting Olivanders and taking the wand on a tour of hogsmeade would be amazing. Trying and see at night if you can!Written 21 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BARBARA MJacksonville, FL62 contributionsPreserved historic battleship a great addition to the area sites. Be prepared for lots of steps during this tour!

- Fiona BSt Athan, UK366 contributionsStunning building and facilities, housing a collection of modern art. The venue is exceptionally clean, friendly & helpful staff, and a very easy entry/ticketing process.
We thoroughly enjoyed the art on display during our visit. Definitely worth a visit when you're in DTLA.Written 19 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cagatravelShellharbour, Australia576 contributionsGreat trails to choose, some lead up to Observatory (Only rest room & water facility) or Hollywood sign.

- GKL1971Delfzijl, The Netherlands72 contributionsSome nice shops and restaurants. Relaxed walking in a good scenery.

- oliviasoma6 contributionsWe walked around the area outside the museum to look at the natural tar pits and other exhibits. Loved it..something you do not see in museums. We did not do the museum since we have been to many and they all sorta repeat. So I cannot review their museum.Written 16 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AshvpSan Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala51 contributionsInteresting building inside and out - sweeping curves of metal on the exterior makes for a striking aesthetic. Worth a visit and the self guided tour was informative. Shame the main hall was closed at the time of our visit.Written 2 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lena KFullerton, CA340 contributionsOn a non-school day, my granddaughter and I visited the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Tickets must first be purchased online, selecting day and time of planned visit. Face masks must be worn at all times, except when eating.
We also reserved tickets for the "Becoming Jane" exhibit on Jane Goodall. We both enjoyed the exhibit, which included a tent simulating what Jane lived in when she was in Africa. My granddaughter really enjoyed mimicking the chimpanzee's sounds alerting that a snake is nearby. There is a small restaurant to get a snack or lunch and plenty of indoor and covered outdoor seating. The gift shop offers a variety of souvenirs, toys, gifts.Written 13 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went alone and saw another hiker that was also taking pictures and she asked me to help her take her photos. I was like only if you take my photo too! It was nice, after that we hiked together for a bit since we were going the same way. I entered from the top while she parked at the bottom. This was both our first time and from different cities. She told me about the tough hike up. I was just gonna do a short back and forth but since she did it, I wanted to do it too. So I circled up and felt the strenuous incline and saw different water station for dogs. Like a bowl by a tree, with water left by other hikers into a bowl.
I definitely stay hydrated and went up with my new Nike oneota be true sandals. They were pretty great for this hike.
I look forward to the next time I come around.Written 1 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fun to walk over all of the bridges.Written 31 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
