What To Expect

Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

Spend an enjoyable and educational afternoon exploring the National History Museum of Los Angeles County with a general admission ticket, which offers you access to a wealth of exhibits. First, discover more than 300 fossils, marvel at 20 complete skeletons, and virtually excavate specimens at a series of multimedia stations in the Dinosaur Hall. Here, you can also view the world’s only Tyrannosaurus rex growth series, get a behind-the-scenes look at paleontologists in the Dino Lab, and see dinosaurs come alive at the Dinosaur Encounters show. Then, journey through an epic evolutionary story that spans 65 million years and includes 240 specimens — such as mastodon and whale skeletons — as well as animal dioramas from North America and Africa. Continue on to the Gem and Mineral Hall, which features more than 2,000 individual specimens and a vault containing diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and gold. Find out how LA went from a tiny pueblo to a sprawling metropolis in the Becoming Los Angeles exhibit, and take a stroll past native plant species in the Nature Gardens, where kids and adults can take a closer look at how things grow in the Get Dirty Zone. Before leaving, don’t forget to scope out L.A. creatures scurrying about the Nature Lab, and try your hand at interactive touch-screens that let you explore stories about Los Angeles’ plants and animals.

Definitely worth the price of the admission ticket, a very good learning experience! Food was affordable and there are lots of options, with a free drink. So many exhibitions to see !

This is an old style “specimens in the cabinets” museum set in spectacular old buildings. Mostly, the museum is about dinosaurs, mammals and birds. The dinosaur hall is very good, with whole actual skeletons on display as well as many others that are casts, plus some pretty good simple explanations of various aspect of dinosaurs. The mammal display has separate halls for American and African mammals and I has the usual stuffed bears, deer, foxes, elephants, etc in small scenes inside cabinets loosely representing their habitat. The bird display is packed but randomly organised. It has examples of birds from all over the world. Other areas include a section explaining the formulation and growth of L.A., and a few other unmemorable things. The building is spectacular indoors and is worth a visit just to see that. We spent probably 75 minutes with the dinosaurs and an hour seeing re rest of the museum.

Bought tickets while visiting LA, when we arrived we were told we could not enter without a Vaccination card & Drivers license. Would not come back I’m sure it’s a beautiful place but this city is being run to the ground with these requirements. Can’t even grab something to eat because every restaurant requires you to carry your vaccination records.
