Awesome local place to hike in Los Angeles, one of the very few places left that isnt overrun by Suburban life. The weather was beautiful, the hike is somewhat difficult and definitely if hiking to Griffith Park Observatory make sure to bring water. Beautiful views from the top of the Griffith Park Observatory, can see the whole city and a great view of the Hollywood sign

Great hikes so many trails good parking everybody wearing a mask clean park no garbage no graffiti lots of Park Rangers great place

The Griffith Park is a hiking area on Mount Hollywood where the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Sign sits. Many visitors and locals go for hike there and stay till evening to watch the LA city lights as the sun sets. Very nice view from here. Also this is where you get real close to the Hollywood sign. Must visit and see.

This spot is one of the great trails in LA. Has easy walking path that takes you along the best views of the Pacific ocean and the golden gate bridge on the San Francisco side of the bay. Afternoons can have fog so the view may not be 100% clear but super gorgeous. But if you have a clear day....just amazing. Theres also a convenient parking lot. A pathway also leads down to a cool cave where you can hear the waves crashing. Highly recommend going here.

Angelina. Great trails for Angelinos. Especially good for winter times.. LAs air quality much improved after pandemic. Lets all drive EV.

We went up to the observatory with a Uber and then walked even further towards the Hollywood sign. It was a beautiful walk with a great view over the city. Especially recommended at sunsets.However, we walked down the mountain back to the city, because we would have had to wait a long time for a Uber...

Went here for a weekend retreat with my colleagues. Pretty nice place. Community like with a huge dining area for all of us. Its quite a small hike to the beach and was completely worth it.Didnt ruin the experience too much that I almost lost my phone. Good thing someone found it and was nice enough to return. Whew.

This park has everything! Lots of hiking trails and picnic spots, equestrian trails (horses can be rented nearby), a train, pony rides for the kids, a merry-go-round, and of course the Griffith Park Observatory (where “Rebel Without a Cause” with James Dean was filmed). Walt Disney used to bring his daughters here, and while sitting on a park bench near the Merry-go round, he thought up Disneyland! (The park bench is in Disneyland by the Abraham Lincoln exhibit). I love to drive through the park on a weekend and watch hundreds of people enjoying the park. What a great place to enjoy a beautiful day. There’s even a golf course. Something for everyone! YAY! The hiking trails are open, but you must wear a mask . The observatory is closed.

I took my wife and kids here while on vacation. We spent most of our time hiking and sight seeing.The views are literally breath taking. I cant even begin to put it into words that would do it justice.Simply put, if you live around this area or youre just on vacation in Los Angeles you must stop by and see it for yourself.Just be sure to catch a sunset.

My kids and I visited this playroom last Wednesday, and we greatly have quality time together. They enjoyed playing and very comfortable at the place. Eventually, I saw happiness in their face that they enjoyed what they were doing in your playroom. If given a chance, I will bring them back here, for this place was truly enjoyable and satisfying. Thank you very much! See you soon!

The park is very beautiful at sunset, really a wonderful place. Also the museum is beautiful and watching the planets is a masterpiece

5 days at Friendship Auditorium for my vote center poll worker assignment. Was great experience.

Went last summer. Parking was terrible and we had to walk very far in the California heat but it was overall enjoyable. Very busy. Offers great sights of Hollywood, LA, and the sign.

- Leisure and comfortable !! Griffith observatory is the beautiful place that you can overlook whole Los Angles (especially night scene). The famous Hollywood sign also can see clearly from this place.- When you entered into the building, you will absorb a lot of knowledge from tutoring(or commentators). You also can see the real chemical periodic table. This is a amazing place for people who interested in astronomy(or physics).

BUCKET LIST FINALLY CHECKED!If there is absolutely one thing you should know about me, know that I LOVE FULL HOUSE! YOU GOT IT DUDE! says Michelle Tanner.I cant believe it has taken me so long to finally visit Griffith Park, but boy, was I a happy camper. =DOn a nice day, Griffith Park is a great place to hang out and have a picnic!

This place is great. Its not huge, but they do have a lot of exotic rescues. Dont listen to some of the reviews on here... I used to work at a zoo, and these rescues are living great lives compared to zoo animals. They look well fed and well taken care of, considering some of the awful ways theyve been treated throughout their lives.

The playroom is heaven on earth for our kids. Thank God, this playroom is near our city mall! We came here numerous times now. The kids love it and always requested to bring them here. The place was huge and wide. The staff and employees are very friendly and accommodating. They sometimes dance with the kids! It was a total load of fun for our kids. The best!

There are tons of different hiking trails to explore. If you park your car by Vermont you can even go on a nice night trail and do not need to worry about getting towed. The weekends do tend to get crowded though so keep that in mind.

Cute little park with the view of the painted ladies as well as the city skyline. Its a great place to take visitors. Parking isnt bad but you might have to walk a couple blocks.

Great place to see LA/Hollywood for newbies in town. I love the Planetarium and the displays at Griffith observatory. There are also great hiking trails along the way. Perfect spot for some picnic or IG pics.

My favorite place to go hiking! You can find an abundance of trails from the easiest walking ones to the ones where youll need your teeth to climb up rocks. The scenery is also great, you can view Santa Monica, Westwood, Hollywood, DTLA & Burbank area from these mountain tops. Not to mention the Hollywood sign isnt too far away & the Observatory is on the way up. I should mention that parking could get hard to find at certain hours.

We landed at Burbank and this was the first place we came based on reviews. So glad we listened! It was a lovely afternoon 26/12/19 with lots of people parking and walking to see the Hollywood sign. Great views of it from the Griffith Observatory (which was closed that day). Griffith Park is amazing and so large-I’m sure we only saw a small part of it yet we parked, walked quite a ways and all the way up to the observatory. If I lived here this would be a favorite spot for me. So many little paths and hikes to explore. We loved it! I hope this review and photo really helps you thank you do like if you like it .

Awesome learning center.. Small place not too many animals but worth the experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely coming back for future events.

Popular recreational area with a bunch of interconnecting hiking trails. Some of the trails are out-and-back, but you have the option of taking a quick hike or extending your trail to take up a full day. The trails are exposed so bring lots of water and wear sunscreen. The trails are popular, particularly on weekends, so try getting there earlier. There are a few picnic tables/benches scattered around. No bathrooms unless you head over to the Observatory. Dogs are allowed on leashes.There are parking lots by the Greek Theater (free) as well as street parking, or you can park up by the Observatory ($15 per hour). There’s a separate lane for ride share so you could get dropped off in front of the Observatory (currently closed during covid). You could chill at one of the green spaces and have a picnic (Jitlada is only a 1.5 mi/10 min drive away!) or just enjoy some urban nature. You can see the hollywood sign or take in views of Downtown or Burbank (assuming there’s no smog or wildfire smoke). Griffith Park is LA’s answer to Central Park, and good for both locals and tourists alike.

I loved it here the few times that Ive been here. My fiance actually proposed to me here. So this place has a special meaning to me. This place is a really nice place to get away from the craziness of LA, to a quite and relaxing place. The second time that we came here, we actually took the route up to the house, it was amazing up there. Totally recommend this place.

Beautiful place to visit. The trails can be dangerous due to poor lighting. The maps have been defaced with graffiti, making the map not legible. And you can easily get lost. They provide so many choices, from a tennis racket to playground etc. They use recycled water as noted on signs. Youll see yellow jacket traps in place. You might encounter coyotes as we did. They are harmless and will run away, if not antagonized or threatened. Only one security guard vehicle was observed down the hill. Parking lot appears to popular as a hook up spot. The abandoned zoo was an amazing view of abandoned cages. The metal rusting due to the weather. The history behind this zoo is sad and the cages are often very small to cage larger animals. They also speculate , that the zoo is haunted. As I didnt see any ghost, I did hear lots of noises in the bushes and often behind me. There is some areas that will give you a Eerie feeling and the climate will change dramatically in seconds.

We went to the show A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM this past weekend and it was AMAZING! Theres something magical about hearing Shakespeare while walking around these huge gardens that you just dont experience in a normal production of this play. Also it is hilarious! If youve ever felt like Shakespeare isnt funny, you just havent seen a good production of it yet... this group did such a wonderfully hilarious job that even our 9 month old was laughing! It truly was an enchanting evening!!! If we were free wed go back to see it again!

This is one of my top 5 favorite parks.[Parking] There is a variety of parking options, but it can be limited at times and in certain areas. Along the street near the playground is free.[Accessibility] There are many spots in the park that are wheelchair friendly, such as the observatory.[Atmosphere] The vibe here is so relaxed. Its a welcome place of relaxation from the stresses of city life.[Activities] There are so many things to do! Theres a very nice playground on Vermont, you can hike up to the observatory on a number of trails or walk up the road. You can also hike across to the Hollywood sign.

Nice place to take kids. We came right after sunset, but had we gotten there just a few minutes earlier, it would have been excellent. The views of LA are breathtaking at night.The instruments in the sun room are only usable during the daytime when the sun is out. It’s a fun place!

Griffith’s observatory offers stunning views of the city of Los Angeles, being situated on top of the hill. You can also see the famous Hollywood sign from up there. As the name suggests, it’s an observatory too and you can learn a lot about the planetary system and the stars, sun and moon here. A must visit for the stunning views it offers of LA if nothing else!

Im so happy I was able to go see the Griffith Observatory while visiting L.A. The views of the Hollywood Sign and L.A. are amazing. I went on a Tuesday evening and couldnt believe how busy it was. Theres a parking lot but we had to park on the road. Be prepared, you might have to walk a bit. I promise its worth it!

Griffith Park candle are simply awesome. You will not find a more knowledgable person about herbs then Griffin. The essential oils and herbs are of the highest quality.

Beautiful. Nice scenic drive up through the hills. Parking is ten dollars for an hour or two. Great views of the Hollywood sign and LA in the distance. The observatory itself is full of full of exhibits and displays related to the planets, the tides, the seasons, eclipses etc. Definitely worth checking out.

I cant really complain much, well the parking isnt the best but far from the worst. I love that I can pretty much let my almost two year old just run around knowing that most everything is at his height or kid friendly. He especially loves the dragon slide, train and the old western town. Oh and of course the grass hill that he can run up and down or slide on.

My ideal day is one filled with sun, standing thigh deep in the casting pool with my fly rod. My mind is clear, calm, relaxed. The rod swings back and forth and I hear my line whizz back and forth by my ears. I let go. Another perfect cast.

Nice spot to go to learn about astronomy. I highly recommend seeing one of the shows in the planetarium. Lots of great scenery and cool, local history about astronomy in LA. The Tesla coil demonstration is definitely worth seeing. The murals are also great. The walk up isn’t bad at all. It’s about a mile, but it’s not super steep.

If you dont dig this place, you must be crazy, foo!Its so popular as a take friends from out of town spot, its almost a cliche, but the view back (on clear days) toward the city is spectacular.Try running/ biking the trails to Muir Beach (and back!).Were lucky to have this spot so close by.

You can go there many times and always find something different to enjoy. The telescope and 280° cinema is my personal favorite. Truly helps you feel a little bit closer to space

Havent been here for the longest time and decided to visit with my mom. The view was nice, sadly it was a smoggy view of the city today. Nice place to walk around and look inside the observatory. The displays are fun to look at, favorites were the planets and moon replicas. Reasonable priced tickets to watch shows in the planetarium. We saw centered in the universe and loved the lady who did the voice over. Definitely coming back to watch the other shows. Parking is hard to find and if you do , from what I read on the signs its seems its $10 an hour?I could be wrong didnt get out . We couldnt find any so we went back down to parking lot G , right next to the greek theater. And took the dash, across the street, regular price 50cents a person. Or if you got the proper shoes and stamina theres a side walk to get up there. Nice place to visit on your own or with others.

Of all the ones Ive ever been to in different places, this is the best observatory Ive ever been to. It beautifully done and full of great information that you can really get into. Plenty of things that are hands on as well as live visuals for you to see and get a understanding of.We didnt get to try the telescope at night since we were there in the daytime and couldnt stay all day until evening. We did get to see it and I can only imagine what you could see on a wonderfully clear evening.You could spend hours here. There is a cafe and a little gift shop there as well to break up all of the brain exercising youll be doing. You can stop outside and see the LA skyline in the distance covered in its signature smog. Youll also see the HOLLYWOOD sign. Its a great visit for older kids who love this sort of thing. Theyll have to alot to see.

Griffith Park was astonishing. The view was amazing and you learn loads of fun information. The staff was great as well. Parking isnt the best, but they have a shuttle that makes it easier. If you dont mind walking thats always an option. But, be prepared because Griffith can be packed with people.

A unique botanical garden tucked away in the foothills. An incredible collection of Camelias as well as an impressive rose garden. Their collection of native California flora is also a plus. They usually have special exhibits so check their schedule.

A great place to spend some time with the family! Bring water! Going inside is free, but you can also buy a tour with an exhibition. You can see a big part of LA if the air is clean and no clouds! We were there in the weekend so only tour buses and share rides could drive all the way up. Parking along the street will cost you 10$ per hour.

This has always been my favorite park. I love the mixture of nature & culture in the same location. I am amazed by the silence & reverence the park evokes while located in the center of a large American city, which is Los Angeles, CA. But most of all, I love the wonderful memories which are recalled whenever I visit the park. Cant wait to visit again.

Really great views. Exhibits were informative. Great for kids who love space. Only issue I had was the telescope room upstairs was shut, that was what I was really looking forward to seeing. The restrooms were clean. I took an Uber there and then the bus back down the hill. There was a lot of parking areas and a lot of people hiking up the hill to get to the observatory. I was told it was a 2-3 mile walk to the Hollywood sign so I opted out, but there were plenty of people on the different hiking trails in the area.

LA must see. Low cost with great views. Very interesting exhibits and information and a great place to get an overview of a good part of the area. Beautiful!

When your heart aches for a sense of nature and tranquility Griffith Park can be self soothing. I love this place and its shaded hideaways. Its gift shop has much to offer as well, with the best part being the plants you can buy at a reasonable price. I hope to visit it more throughout the year.

This is an awesome place to visit and see the skyline. It has a great view of the Hollywood sign and some nice hiking trails. Its a must see attraction and the admission price is hard to pass up. The founder wanted it to remain free for visitors and it still is to this day. Its full of knowledge and everyone will learn something during the visit.

Great unique architecture in the views of LA on a clear day are awesome. Expect to do some walking if you can’t find parking in the upper lot. Expect crowds, I’m talking lots of people shoulder to shoulder as the observatory really isn’t that large for the amount of people that visit. Very cool to look around and see all the space themed exhibits.

Distance measures. Measures me assures d within d changes

One of my favorite spot in Los Angeles. The area is quite huge and clean. Most people would come here not only for the observatory which is pretty famous and iconic, but also to have a sight of Hollywood sign from this area.But what I really love is how you can see LAs downtown iconic skyline from above. As a person who loves taking picture of a cityscape, this is a perfect place. And yes, if you want to find the parking space easily without many people, better come in early morning. The downside is you wont be able to enter the observatory since its closed in the morning, but hey, you can totally enjoy the area and trust me it is very satisfying.

Beautiful park that overlooks downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood hills. We went to visit Griffiths Observatory. Definitely recommended if youre into astronomy; I loved all the exhibits. Parking was an issue though, as there was no more parking up top. We had to park far down the hill and walk up. Highly recommended even to just see the city during sunset.

Beautiful place!!! Amazing observatory and perfect place to see the Hollywood sign and the LA skyline.

Had a blast here. Went at night to also see the city view at night. But most importantly, had a blast inside the observatory. Went there the following morning for a hike as well.

Such a great place to take your furry little friends. My dog loved the place and the hike was great for humans too! Nice views and lovely place to walk your dog along the beach. Parking is free too! Try to go on a clear day!

Best spot to get a shot of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. However, we had no idea where any of the hiking trails began so that could definitely be better marked.

Griffith Park hike to the Hollywood Sign is super fun and great exercise - about 1.5 hours on a casual stroll (one way). Nice Instagram moments. Bring water and snacks if you like, but especially if you have kids. Good shoes help too! Hollywood sign picture op is priceless!

This place is awesome! Whether you want to take the kids (or maybe even yourself) to learn a bit more our galaxy or enjoy the view (which reveals a big part of LA), it’s a great place.Inside you can see scientific explanations about how the sun works, how our planet works, how the other planets in the galaxy work, there’s some history about the scientists who studied astrology and other details. There’s also some shows that are live presented at the planetarium for U$7 (that’s what I paid at the time at least) which are definitely something you should do if you have the time (it took an hour for the presentation I chose).You can park your car down by the Greek Theater parking lot, which is free while it’s not opened, and do a 12 - 15 minute walk uphill to enjoy the observatory. You can also do the trail to the Hollywood sign, which is also viewable from Griffith.

Come early! There are 3 red pandas and they seem to be most active when their keeper is with them at 1015am. Plenty of food option, clean bathrooms and a good variety of animals here. I attached a photo from their prairie dog exhibit because theyre adorable and seem very happy.

Famous spot to see the Hollywood sign and all of LA. It was really cool to gain perspective on where we have been staying! The views of the sunset were amazing as well!There are a lot of hiking trails which you can enjoy. I wish we had more time to try them out! Highly recommend visiting!

Worth the trip. You have to pay to park and hike up the winding mountain road. We took A Day In LA tour (highly recommend) and got dropped off and picked up very close. Beautiful views. You can see LA and the Hollywood sign. Im told its best to visit at night.

Beautiful park with plenty of places and things to see and do! I find myself doing something at Griffith Park every time I visit Hollywood (which is often) from Texas. There are many hiking trails through the hills with lots of wildlife, the Griffith Observatory is a must see, many small parks, the LA Zoo, and even things like haunted houses and hayrides during the Halloween season. Perfect place for fitness buffs, casual sightseers, and even movie nerds who love visiting filming locations.

This place was a blast! Took the family here to learn about the stars and different methods people took to study and map them. Really enjoyed the planetarium, the shows were amazing! We were only able to watch 2 out of 3 due to the time we arrived but that only gives us a reason to go back. Be aware that the shows dont want children under 5 due to it getting very dark and loud but as long as you have good behaving kids it wont be a problem for you. I took my 3 year old in and she loved it.

Best views in the city. Great for an adventure. Areas to hike nearby. Lots to read inside with nice displays. You can tell its a bit out of date though. We should have 4K LED walls everywhere to better display the stars. But overall you have a nice view of the city other than the smog layer

This is the best place to see LA! It’s historical & interesting! Perfect for group photos or beautiful panoramas. Make a point to see the telescope. It will change your life!

Great for sunset or any exercise activities like biking, hiking, jogging. Family or on your own. Lovely park in LA.

Griffith Park and Observatory are the good places to visit. You can have a great view of the Hollywood sign. There are free parking lots but you may need to walk a little bit to the Observatory.When the park gets crowded, it is not easy to find parking but it’s worth a trip to visit this place.

This park has everything! It was a beautiful walk with a great view over the city.

Its a great area for lots of people to relax and visit with each other.

Griffith Park is beautiful and has a lot to offer in general. The old LA Zoo is site of many shows/movies such as Jerry McGuire and Anchorman. In fact, while we were there they were filming a Lifetime movie. You can venture around and go in the cages if you like. Beautiful sight for a picnic or leisurely day.

I dont know how youre supposed to review a park? Great for hiking, plenty of places for a party. Crawl around in the Old Zoo or visit the animals at the ... actual Zoo. Just please please dont smoke here!!!! (everything is so flammable T_T) Anyway. Im partial to this park cause I grew up around here so it gets five stars!

I have loved the Griffith observatory since the first time I ever went there back in 2014. It’s one of my most favorite spots in LA since it overlooks the entire city and also you can see the Hollywood sign from there. Inside is really informative and the I also went to see one of their little shows which was fun. I love taking pictures here and also seeing the huge telescope. I love everything to do with space and it’s truly fascinating. Inside they have a gift spot as well as a cafeteria.

It’s free!! Museum and the observatory!! You only need to find a place where to park. Good luck in a busy day, but the place is stunning. I would definitely recommend to visit the place at daytime but stay for the sunset and to watch the place change with the night

Beautiful park with amazing views!! Parking is a bit of a hassle as to sort of be expected for the area but it is well worth it!!! The views alone are priceless make sure to check out the observatory and climb up to the top. Inside there is a lot of cool history about how the observatory and park came to be (some astronomy related as well due to the original purpose of the site!)

Fantastic view of LA and the Hollywood sign! Great architectural building with a relaxing vibe

I didnt go all the way to Griffin at the top was walking the roadway line. Just went for a walk up a hike up with the homie Eric. It was nice and peaceful it has a very beautiful view all around.

As far as zoos go its a nice one to walk around. The 10-5 hrs means you wanna get there at doors opens on a warm day or most of the show is gonna be sleeping in the shade.Surprisingly good burger + fries at the zoo diner.Having attended on a holiday weekend, it was absolutely rammed, somewhat surprisingly as I didnt know what to expect. There was preferred parking for 10$ cash which was worth it on the busy day.The south Park entrance was chaos going through the park so if you are going when its slammed maybe avoid that one.

Gorgeous views and so much history for LA. Go see the ibserbatory, but also make sure you do some of the hikes as well!

If you like astronomy then put this on top of your list of places to visit while your in Los Angeles. You can visit the observatory, look through telescope, check out exhibits. The park is extremely nice with may different hiking paths depends on your fitness levels. When you get to the top, the view is spectacular.

Beautiful. Nice scenic drive up through the hills. Parking is ten dollars for an hour or two. Great views of the Hollywood sign and LA in the distance. The observatory itself is full of full of exhibits and displays related to the planets, the tides, the seasons, eclipses etc. Definitely worth checking out.

Lot of good day hiking, not overwhelming with people. Many trails

The creme brulee milk tea is really good, even though it is more on the pricier side and the most expensive thing on their menu. But I would say its worth the price! Has creme brulee at the bottom of the drink, and bits of sugar that give it a nice, extra crunch! Boba was really good too! The staff are super nice, they always offer you samples, and even walk over to your table to give you your drink!

Good place but could be improved in terms of offering. I heard It offers beautiful city views as it was cloudy when we visited. I think it could be more informative experience overall

A great experience for anyone, and a must see on your journey to Los Angeles. The Griffith Park has something for everyone. Be it hikers, animal lovers, space enthusiasts, you’ll find something of interest here guaranteed.

Amazing observatory visited by people of all kinds of backgrounds. The view during night time is mesmerizing. You can learn a lot about sciencr, astronomy and astrophysics while you enjoy their demonstrations. I used their telescope to look at the moon and it was an amazing experience. Dont touch it I recommend going in the night. It was completely free..

I have only been once to this park. However I love how its hovering over Los Angeles. The view of the city is amazing. Finding a parking can be challenging but worth checking out if in town. There is free parking if you dont mind walking up the hill for 10-15 minutes. Not recommended though especially if you have kids or elders with you. You can meter park for couple of hours for few dollars.

One of the most beautiful points Ive visited lately. The views are spectacular, the planetary info and history was interesting, and its free! Bring a jacket if youre here around sunset. It gets chilly.

Beautiful landmark of LA! The architecture, the history, the education about our world, and the view! I spent way more time there then I anticipated. I would recommend you park is the free parking lot at the bottom of the hill and shuttle up. It’s $10/hr for parking at the top. The shows in the planetarium are about $7 pp. Worth setting aside some time to wander through here.

One of my favorite places in Southern California. Excellent views of Los Angeles, the Hollywood sign, and the Pacific Ocean. Great trails and picnic options. If you love Astronomy, the planetarium is a must as well as the various exhibits within the Observatory. Make sure to check out the telescope at night as well as one of the routine star parties outside on the lawn.While there are an abundance of parking spots nearby, the likelihood is that you will either be having a long walk or need an Uber to pick you up / drop you off. This makes it particular unpleasant for anyone with children or the elderly and that is a shame considering it is one of my favorite places - this is why I give it a 4 star instead of 5.

Breathtaking views at any time of the day especially in the night. The monthly public star parties are amazing to see celestial bodies. Saw nebula and moon in a close up, an amazing experience

Great place to learn, understand the fundamentals, experience and explore the science behind activities in our solar system and astronomy. Models and displays are very helpful in understanding the functioning of instruments. Some of the instruments and displays are not working so it was a bit disappointing.It is free, no tickets need to be purchased. A very inexpensive ticket if you wish to visit the Planetarium.Parking near the observatory, meaning if you drive up all the way to the observatory, is $$. Its best to park free down the hill and take a hike through the trail and enjoy the nature and also get some exercise!

One word scenic. The views here are just unreal. If you like hiking, trail finders this is the place for you. Views for days! A great view of Hollywood

Great hiking area. Some moderatly difficult spots in a few areas where you may have to scramble or push through some brush. Decently kept trails overall. Easy to navigate. Cell service is spotty in some areas if you are relying on phone for GPS, but it picks up again after a few minutes. Beautiful overlooks of the city around every turn.

They recently started charging $10 per hour for parking so I thought that was insane on top of that there was no spots. Just park down the hill and walk up. Save yourself money and enjoy the nice hike. Nothing much has changed but its still one of those attractions that you must visit in LA

One of the most amazing places to work out , Hike, jog , or to just unwind.Very mellow and attractive place .I love it.

Been going here for over 30 years. It is still a nice place to walk. At night the stars come alive and the beauty is not only can you look up and see them the observatory allows us to get up close and personal with many stars that a naked eye can see.. If you have not gone to a show at the observatory... Do yourself a huge favor and get to one.

Excellent views of the city and all sorts of interesting science exhibits inside. Definitely worth the trip, but parking is a nightmare!! Park at the Greek Theater at the bottom of the hill. It’s free & easy and the shuttle (.50 cents) picks you up right there and drops you off at the top. (I think the lot closes at noon on concert days so you have to be there before that.) The .8 mile walk up from there would also probably be quicker than trying to find a $10/ hr spot along the hill on the road on the way up.

The scenery speaks for itself! Good work out and always pretty clean. Many trails going to and from! Love my legs being worked out here!

Wow! what a place! Observatory is good. Hollywood sign is visible from here. Management has done a good job maintaining this one. Kudos to the team!

Incredible 360 views of LA and Hollywood sign. I didn’t go inside as it wasn’t open yet but enjoyed the grounds. Lots of hikes all around too or you can drive up to the top.
