Travel Guide
The La Brea Tar Pits are so cool! The museum itself is full of fascinating exhibits of the history of North America, including its prehistoric past. There are hands-on experiments to play with and lots of great life-size animals to bring the past to life!
You do need to pay to access their parking lot, but you can also find a spot along the street and walk if you’d like. Outside food isn’t allowed in the museum but there are plenty of beautiful grounds in the area to have a picnic.
And while you’re there, take a stroll and check out all of the outdoor exhibits. There are active digs in working pits and plenty of little outcroppings of tar to play in. Do be careful, though. It’s very sticky!
