We visited the Museum of Tolerance not knowing what to expect. Well, the family had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the art and the setup. The room flows and makes for easy picture setup. The vantage points are clearly marked for awesome pictures. The staff is accommodating and helps with any questions. The museum is about a 2 hours or less visit, leaving time for more exploring around town.

Love this museum... The only downfall of my most recent visit was a family of 3 (Mom, Dad, and teenage son) being disrespectful in the Holocaust tour by sitting, standing and climbing on the display pieces and inappropriately laughing during the gas chamber area when the video was talking about babies being thrown out of the hospital window in the back of a truck several floors below the window... Its sad that there are people out there that think the Holocaust never happened...The talk that Mr. William Harvey gave was beautiful and eye opening...

Amazing place. Walking through it all takes time so plan ahead. Was able to sit in on a holocaust survivors story. Last time I came was in elementary school. I was able to get tickets on groupon for my family.

It was great to know part of our history. Because if we dont know if we dont teach to our children the story could be repeat it. Between 1938 and 1945 there were killed more the 12 millions people. I dont mention and race because for God eyes there isnt frontier, color religion, because those things are only and human mind and brain. Unfortunately this day we can see people with the same mentally.

Its an incredible, amazing and humbling experience. I recommend it 100%. I truly recommend that you go when one of the survivors is speaking there.

Loved the Museum. Very engaging and educational for everyone. Our tour guide Cathy was awesome. Very engaging for our students.

What an amazing place. So rich in history and culture. Its so tragic and heart breaking to see the ugly side of people and what they can do but definitely something we should never forget and learn. Everyone should attend here at least once in their life to educate themselves about this part of world events and to better themselves as a person and to help society better themselves as a whole.

This should be require for everyone to attend --- maybe even annually. Too much to soak up in one day.

I felt even more moved coming here than I did the actual Anne Frank house. Its heavy, but its also something everyone needs to see. Normally I spend 3-4 hours at most museums, but realistically itll probably take 5-6 hours to completely finish everything this place has to offer. Well worth it.

This museum should be visited by every single American citizen....scratch that.....every single individual in the world. I have always thought I knew what happened during the Haulocaust. I wasnt even close. My only complaint is with the name of the museum. It leads one to believe this is a place that will educate you on current events regarding race, sexual orientation, or any of the above. I have recommended this place to many and upon mentioning the name I always get the same response. Change the name to fit the profile of what you are educating. Other than that, great place to visit. My recommendation, bring a box of tissues.....

It was a real eye opener. I loved my visit. Very sad but so much truth.

If you have been to any other holocaust museum this one is kind of disappointing. However, we got to see a survivor speak and that was the coolest part. The museum itself doesn’t add much to what we had already known and seen and is 85% about the holocaust.

Very powerful and educational. Very few museums have been as engaging and moving as this one. Though the subject matters is very intense on its own, it informs in a way that doesnt rely on your own understanding but shows a whole new perspective, showing the greys between the black and white so easily found in this tragedy in world history.

Came here many years ago. It was a pretty neat museum. I am planning to go back soon and visit again. It looks very interesting. I am pretty sure it has changed a lot since last time I went. Hope to enjoy it as much I did last time i was there.

It was incredible! Our docent Richard was fantastic! He is super knowledgeable about the history and made the experience awesome. Thank you to all the staff for helping me organize this trip for my students. They enjoyed being at the museum!

Impressive museum, everything is stunning!!!!Try to stay longer if you want to see everything.Won’t regret!!!!

Such an amazing experience. Would love to go back! The staff was super friendly, and willing to help at all times. We had a group from a middle school, and it was just amazing to see the reaction from the students. Just makes you appreciate everything! To top it off we had a survivor speak to us, just such an awesome experience.

Mostly had a good time. Except the staff were extremely rude and made me and my sibling feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Ironic being its the Museum of Tolerance. We had a good time and the Anne Frank exhibit was a very emotional and thought provoking experience that I believe everyone should check out. Despite this I have a hard time recommending this place to my family and friends due to the staff acting unprofessional, except the woman at the front desk she was very friendly.

A really educational and life changing experience. It’s great for older kids and adults—I wouldn’t recommend bringing anyone under 12.

The tour guides took great pride in their presentations that were informative and thoughtfully rendered. Thank you for treating our Ambassador Leaders with such compassion and kindness !

Went to Museum of Tolerance last night(9-5-2019). An interview with Walter Mosley, author. We received his latest book :Elements of Fiction . The facility is clean, filled with many exhibits ,one of which is based on The Holocaust! Ann Frank is highlighted. Parking is free.It was last night. Staff ,very courteous. The auditorium is very comfortable. Note:The museum is closed on Saturday. Adult admission is $15.50. Senior discount: $12.50 . Students/Youth (5-18): $11.50. Bathrooms :Clean. Parking is underground. Vehicles are searched, one must open their car trunks, have I.D.....Enjoy ,gain knowledge... Don Owens

So many stories to be told. This place tells them with Grace and dignity. Take the time to listen to a survivor tell their story.

Went to a movie screening here. Was cool to see a movie here. They check your car for security, so be prepared to open your trunk and have them through your car. The movie seats are quite uncomfortable. My knees were touching the seat in front and Im not even that tall. The seats dont recline, so be prepared to sit up straight.

Amazing place. Great place to learn and reflect. Great artifacts.

Probably the best time Ive had all year so much to learn. Unfortunately no photos of the actual place but here we are 8th grade field trip to the museum of tolerance

I visited this place in 1988 ish. Each visitor was given a liitle card with a picture, name and history of a holocaust victim. Mine was Abram Beem. He was murdered as soon as he got off the train. He was just a littleboy. Ive kept his picture on my fridge along with my own childrens pictures.

An amazing place to learn about the history surrounding the Holocaust. The guest speakers and the exhibits, such as the Anne Frank, is amazingly immersive, educational, and emotional.

First time visting and enjoyed an evening film screening and discussion. Only peeked at some of the lobby artifacts and didnt have the opportunity to fully explore the exhibits. I will definitely return. FYI --- If you park in the main lot, your trunk will be searched and there are metal detectors upon entrance. Allow yourself a little extra time if attending a timed event.

A heartbreaking and somber experience but definitely an experience that is necessary... The genocide of the Jewish people was a truly horrific crime against humanity that shall never be forgotten... My children and I had the absolute honor to meet the guest speaker who is a holocaust Survivor, he shared his heartbreaking and painful story with us all and it is a story I will never forget.I highly recommend.

Very well done interactive presentations of the history building up to the holocaust that helps explain how ordinary people could do unthinkably evil things to fellow citizens. Be sure to allow a couple of hours to explore the full exhibit. And the diary of Anne Frank was a very important addition. If more people were reminded how this happened, it might help prevent another holocaust.

I was very lucky to have met Mr. Bill Harvey , a beautiful, brave, soul. A must see even.

Its sad. But everyone has to visit this museum atleast once.

I love coming here!! Theres so much history here. The holocaust exhibit is long but worth every second. My favorite thing here is the Maya Angelou exhibit! Beautiful and well done. We have the family membership and its well worth it!

Everyone should go. Well done.. Anne Frank exhibit was great

The set up in incredible. Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A must for locals and people visiting LA

This is a place to learn history and human experience. When I come here I feel disgust towards the awful people who did such things and I feel sympathy for the people who went through this. As a young (almost) adult, I feel the need to learn as much as I can before I go into the real world. I am loving and accepting of others already and I want it to stay that way. Hopefully, people learn not to commit these vile acts against other humans because then we are nothing more than monsters.

I loved this museum. Its very spacious and interactive throughout. I would recommend for ages 10 and older. I learned a lot coming here and it helped to put this horrific event in history in perspective. I also enjoyed the survivor coming in and sharing his experience. The workers in the musuem are knowledgeable and engaging. Would definitely go again. I didnt get through the whole museum, please allot a few hours to really explore.

Very moving and eye opening experience. Recommend for teens and older. However, not a place for young children.

If you have the opportunity to go to this museum, get there. It is amazing. The only thing that I regret is that there are no more Holocaust survivor speakers. Every step from the moment you walk in the doors til the moment you leave, is beyond indescribable.

Was very informative, and I learned a lot about the Holocaust.

Great people, great place, always is important to learn new stuff- free parking 15 usd access. Takes +2 hours avg visit.

What an amazing experience. This is life changing and humbling!

Everyone should visit a Holocaust museum. This museum had a few facts I did not know. Taking a tour is the best way to see this museum in a comprehensive way. There is not a lot of artifacts the majority is interactive audio visual exhibits. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more artifacts

I suppose they get an E for effort on this review. Vehicle search from high school drop security guard: check. Complete search inside museum and all metal objects placed in bin because of walk through metal detector (w/wand) like Superior Court: check. Not being able to get in because I had cigarettes and lighter: priceless. Im going to have to give this a Jay score of 0. Not recommended. The LAST time this place wastes my time. I heard it was overrated anyways. Not really a museum more of interactive slide show thing. What they need to put on the website is a warning of what not is allowed into the museum.

The Museum of Tolerance is such a treasure in the heart of West Los Angeles. I went to see the Anne Frank Exhibit and the speaker who is a holocaust survivor. I left there thinking how can I change the world for the greater good.

This is a wonderful and amazing educational experience for all ages. I suggest to go because it talks about a hard world back in time and most importantly the Holocaust

Grew up nearby and have only been there once. A very intense experience. Extremely well done and thought out!

The event was but Sikh Coalition called Project Sikh About all the developments we have had since 911 to make people aware about our identity. A Right place for right event

Very Informative Museum in Beverly Hills. Staff was super kind and guided to different display areas and were very helpful in explaining certain exhibits while also allowing you to roam on your own and at your own pace! Thank You to all the wonderful staff here for making it an Enjoyable experience!:) Free Parking is always a Plus!:)

The museum was great in that it has a different way of telling the story of the Holocaust. Its more of a self-guided audio tour.There are also some very interesting screens that you can scroll up and down on that give you the history of different types of oppression in the United States. I wish I had more time at the museum since theres just so much to read.

If you have any bit of humanity in you, this place will touch it.Please take time to speak to one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors.They are a living history book that survived one of the darkest chapters in our human existence.

Powerful, educational and eye opening!

Love the history that is cherished here!!! Thank you MOT for allowing us to see these amazing artefacts!

This museum is amazing. I definitely left in a changed state, its an emotional rollercoaster so bring your tissues. The exhibits are often Interactive, induce self-reflection, and promote important discussions with the people who are in attendance with you. I suggest you get there as early as you can, there is a lot to see and read. The museum does it really good job of transitioning and comparing the similarities between the Holocaust and other Injustices in history and all around the world. Going up the spiral staircase and reading the stories of the people photograph was very sad. But in descending the stairs, realizing what these people had survived, I was inspired.

Fascinating history. So much to absorb. Not enough time on a school fieldtrip Have to go back. Also want to hear a survivor speak

Soooo important! Its horrible to see the things that humanity is capable of, but its incredible that we can remember together.

Excellent tour guide and having a holocaust survivor talk to us was priceless. Thank you MOT

I loved it ️. It was so great to see the survivors of World War 2 and for them to tell their stories.

Very informative and great experience, thanks to Rachael very helpful with questions we had! Thankful that we were able to listen in on a survivors story. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful theater hvac runs cold easy handicap ramp to lower seats!

I had always wanted to visit this museum and it saddens me how disappointing this place was for me. The exhibits were fine. It was the staff that made me and my husband very uncomfortable. From the very beginning at reception they were rude. I was so excited to be there that I tried not let it bother me, then we went onto the first exhibit and were constantly given bad looks by the staff. We werent part of a group or school trip, maybe thats why? Even then, thought it was okay to wander on your own but, the staff sure as hell made us feel otherwise. Also, if this place does require a guided tour, nobody that works there mentioned it. They simply gave us a map and told us where to begin walking. It was so bad that my husband and I cut our trip short and left for home. As another review said more like museum of intolerance.

Loved the field trip coming there and loved the vote system and the diner part

Amazing place. Walking through it all takes time so plan ahead. Was able to sit in on a holocaust survivors story. Last time I came was in elementary school. I was able to get tickets on groupon for my family.

Very educational on tragic events of the jewish holocaust. Guest speaker painted a vivid picture of their experience of the holocaust. Learn how much we as people take for granted this freedom and power we all have.

Great place if you want to teach your kids about history of race.

I learned so many things I did not know.I had such a great time.I have been telling my friends and relatives about the great experience I had.The day went by so fast but the memories will stay in my head.

Remembrance, contemplation and inspiration for humanity to make sure history does not repeat itself.Beautiful museum with generous people who care!

Such powerful and valuable information in this museum that everyone should come and learn more about.

Everyone should visit this museum. Period. It is heartbreaking the tragedies that intolerance has brought about in our past. We need to learn how to prevent them for our future generations.

If you have played close attention to the Trump administration for the past couple of years, this place will make you think Hitler copied trump.....

We didnt get to go inside, but I have been here before. I just want to get information out there to my fellow vapers. Do not bring any vapes, electronic cigarettes if you plan on visiting. We didnt know and we took Lyft so couldnt put it anywhere, and they will not hold it. We will definitely drive here next time and leave it in the car.

Lovely facility, free convenient parking, free admission 3rd Thursday of each month, I believe. A message that is critical to humanity, yet hard to experience. Large theater with good sound and comfy seats for live shows and films.

The guest speakers are great. All the exhibits are really informative. Only con is that some of there technology is outdated.

Great experience ... took our 9 year old daughter (who was familiar with Holocaust) but material seemed to be appropriate. Museum is presented is sort of a diorama format and well laid out, and personalized with the name of an individual whos fate you learn about at the end. It is not just a holocaust museum (thus the name), as there is an entire section devoted to tolerance. There was also a survivor, Mr. Amrom Deutsch, a survivor who spoke the day we were there ... great experience. Very moving.

When I found of about this museum and I found out they had holocaust survivors speakers I knew I had to go. After the whole experience I ended up very glad they have a place like this, we need Tolerance, Respect, Integrity and many more positive things to make this world a better place, and this museum teaches you how to be a better citizen and gives perfect examples of what happens when we do not tolerate one another.

Good place to take teenagers. Real eye opener.

Ive been trying to get to this museum for years. I found it very interesting and informative. the displays were well thought out and I believe every high school kid should be required to visit this museum.

Such a beautiful Experience Ive never been here before and to actually experience this museum touched my heart in so many ways. The staff is always there to help and answer any questions you may have. Come and get a glimpse of what it was like living during the time of the holocaust.

This Museum was truly an immersive educational experience for the entire family. We even got to hear from an actual Holocaust survivor. despite the painful details of what happened in history, the museum is so beautifully and impeccably put together that anyone who wants to learn about the nitty-gritty of the past will truly appreciate it. I appreciated that the museum had free parking in their own parking garage as well. Something to note however is that this experience is timed in a specific way for each do to enjoy it fully be sure to plan at least a few hours to spend your time here and make it worth it. My nine-year-old was a little bit antsy but my twelve-year-old got a lot out of it. use your best judgment of whether you think your children have the attention span and emotional maturity to deal with these types of sensitive topics. Even though my youngest struggled a little sometimes, she agreed it was worth visiting.

Not to visit here after taking a trip to Los Angeles would have been a totally wasted trip. Will make Everything you ever learned , real.

I really loved it! It was low-key, but very informative.

This experience was life changing. I need to go again and stay longer. I pray I will have the strength to recognize and fight against such horrible atrocities. More importantly I pray I will never have to. Please visit and share with others.

It was a great experience I went their on a field trip with my child development class I and it was touching and sad too. Ive been their before so this was my second time back.

Well worth the $15 admission fee. A lot of the exhibitions are interactive and pretty thought provoking. Ive gone on two different Sundays and been able to hear a different holocaust survivor speak each time. Dont think once youve heard one person speak youve heard it all. Both of them had interesting stories and perspectives to share. The museum is more than the holocaust, though! There are exhibits about racial conflict, societal norms, and current events. Its more than just history, its our world today as well.

A lot of people think this is a holocaust museum. Its not just about the holocaust, its about having tolerance of all people.People you think arent like you. People of different cultures. People of differing opinions. I highly recommend the talks they have there. I was privileged to hear a man speak about his experience in the holocaust and where his family is now. It was very inspiring.We took a large group of motorcyclists there. It was a very nice visit. I highly recommend going to this museum. Its also great for children.Especially in todays world where everyone thinks their perspective is the only true perspective, you might be surprised at what life lessons you will find when you walk through those doors.

Very informative, heartwrenching, our tour guide was great!

A necessary cultural and educational experience. It must also be said: All those who work in this museum are kind people. I went with a university group and they treated us like friends.

Love it! We are from Chile, we went there two years ago. Was an amazing experience, we were able to talk with an holocaust survivor, the exhibition is amazing, the people is so nice. I though I could see the hole museum in a couple of hours but we were there the entire day. So much emotions, so much history, amazing!

I learned a whole lot during my visit here in the survivors experience made me change my thought process. We are all human beings and deserve to be treated as such.

You would never know how many families were affected and killed by hitler and his armies if you did not go to this museum. How the jewish people suffered. Including all the innocent children. Its very sad to see all the destruction before your eyes. Each station has a story of a family. It was sad to read their stories and their suffering. Im glad I went. It made appreciate our united states and how blessed we are. You can get a separate guide through the tour for free. I would not take a small child, they would not understand. Junior High school kids and up is better.

Great archival of an event and such that makes it tangible and real.

Such a powerful museum it is really important to go and visit. You learn so much about tolerance. It does have a large exhibit on the holocaust, but it also teaches you about all kinds of hate. From segregation to homophobia. It is a very important thing to see

Wow! I had no idea this museum was going to be this impactful! Truly a must see, so much history, so much knowledge to gain. I only wish the audio tour had headphones like Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. There was a lot of noise from other people who weren’t paying attention, and I had to pay extra attention to the audio.

So much knowledge to acquire, such an amazing experience and we just went through one exhibit. Going back at another time to go through the Anne Frank exhibit.

Can be self guided or you can schedule a tour. Very somber and sobering, still I think everyone should go at least once. If you can, schedule your time to hear one of the live holocaust survivors speak. Free parking in the on site parking garage.

Truly remarkable museum. I was told we could easily see/do everything in 2 hours. I disagree. I would have preferred much longer. Dont miss the Diary of Anne Frank exhibit. Its worth the extra charge. The entire museum is a combination of audio/visual displays

Amazing the history of this monument is such a precious one that should be kept safe for the traveling tourists an amazing amount of relics and replicas are located here with such knowledge of the past

My english class went for a field trip and this was a great learning experience i really enjoyed having the chance to go here it had a lot of information about people in the holocaust. Our tour guide was Lina and she was just a great person who knew her stuff. I would recommend going here if you are interested in the holocaust or want to know more about it or just to go and see the exhibits. Its very interactive and can tell the stories of people in the holocaust.

Great educational value. Very well presented. The speaker was very inspiring and uplifting. Everyone will gain the great insight especially during these days when our democracy is being put to the test. Its on the past but the lessons of the past is still applicable today. Get there early as there is so much to see and understand. We came midday and did not see all of the exhibits. Well have to come back.

They have an absolutely amazing experience for educators. It was a wonderful, life changing training. Thank you to everyone who helped this happen for our school district.
