So big, nice, we were around here new year 2020

A must see tourist destination! Such a grand building, you must bring a photo ID and walk through security detectors. Its nice to walk around and look at the architectural features. To note, they have a homeboy on the 3rd floor with decent food! I attended council meeting and went to the top floor to the observation deck. A must when visiting LA.

A beautiful old building. They have free access to the observation deck. Staff was helpful and the views up there is beautiful of LA. A must visit when you are in LA.

Gotta find this tiny gem and give it a go! It will be a 15 minute visit unless you have little ones who love to slide, but we are so glad that we made the stop at this tiny piece o fLos Angeles City Hallhistory!

I live visiting City Hall. Whenever I have prior visiting from out of town, I take them to the top. When you go inside, take the elevator to the top floor. The people on the first floor are very friendly and helpful so just ask them for assistance!

Los Angeles City Hall is one of the best kept secrets of this city. Not many people know that you can come here between 8am and 5pm on weekdays to get free access to the observation deck. This is easily one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the entire city from a closer perspective than that of Griffith Observatory. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out on a clear and sunny day to really take in the view of Downtown Los Angeles.

So excited to have discovered this restaurant!! I can see myself coming back here, especially when one of my closest friends also enjoy the food and ambiance. I am looking forward to their grand opening and the gradual expansion of their menu. Highly recommend this spot for any chicken or duck lovers... and of course, if you enjoy yourself a few cocktails, their bar is exceptionally stocked as well! Cheers!!

What a beautiful historic piece of history to come visit in Downtown Los Angeles. What an amazing establishment and the incredible views from the top floor. Words cant explain what an experience this was and Im so glad I got to see it in my lifetime. I love Los Angeles and everything about it. God bless our amazing city

Beautiful landmark, an important pillar of Los Angeles history. Of course, corruption has been happening here for decades. But milestones and successes have also been made. That is life, and for LA the City Hall is an important symbol of that.

City Hall got fantastic views of Los Angles city from the top floor.Its a must in Los Angles site seeing.On the entrance you have to fill a small form and security will body check and then you can take a lift to upstairs.A nice and clean toilet is also free to use.City hall is very beautiful from inside.Many different gates but entry is only from one gate so make sure you are going towards right gate.#cityhallla

This heatwave is for being like Sodom and Gomorrah action.Next is a quake so strong that LA eont be there anymore

Los Angeles has alot of skyscrapers and it feels kinda Urbanish!

Alot of LAPD guarding City Hall and the Courthouses

Free admission and a great observatory deck what else could you ask for?

Los Angeles city hall, city government building in downtown LA. Work for the city so was there for work.

With the Covid the finance department is closed and they leave a number you can call at the entrance. When you call the number it gives you the address to the city hall when its CLOSED!!!

It was always look amazing giving its age

This Place was disinfected by the amazing Corona Terminators, thank you guys for making us feel safe again!

We parked our car at a public parking three blocks away from the City Hall. We were checked by a metal detector. Police also checked our ID. The observation deck is on 27th. It is free to go up. The views were beautiful.

I stopped for a few minutes and pay respect to my friend that passed away the heart shaped garden on both sides is dedicated to my friend her name was Jennifer HEY NOW Sunshine

City Hall is Vibrant! And that starts at-the-top with our Mayor.Stately and warm...these Halls resonate with world power and strength.Yet, there was time for Lynell Washington (Planning Director, Office of Marqueece Harris-Dawson) to spare the embarrassment of a selfie and answer some housing questions. Thats what I call...WARM! Big Thank You! Job well done folks!!!Come visit...see what beautiful treasures lie inside your City Hall...take a tour. Bring the kids during Holiday break. Its FREE!

Really it awesome it gives you the Accurate location you need

Wasnt allowed inside Los Angeles City Hall was there to protest so cant tell you...

Free entrance to the top And get the full view of LA. just need go to 22nd floor and change another elevator.

The LA City Hall has an observation deck to see all of Los Angeles and the surrounding neighborhoods. The best part of the observation deck it is free and even though it is not as tall as the OUE skyspace, you do get some good views. Parking can be a challenge so going early to beat the crowds is the best choice. There is metered parking and structures nearby to park. The entrance to the observation deck is on Main St. between 1st St. and Temple St. Once you enter the building you need to go to security and metal detectors. The directions to the observation deck are posted to show which elevators to take and what floors to stop on.The observation deck has a few facts on city hall and paintings of the past mayors. At the top floor there is a podium with flags where you can pose for pictures. The doors lead to the deck and you can walk around full circle of city hall. You can see a lot of cities all the way to Hollywood, Chinatown, San Gabriel mountains, and East Los Angeles. The place was clean and each side has facts on the cities that you can see far away. The only drawback is its only open on weekdays from 8:00am-5:00pm. It is worth a visit if you have the day off and are in the Downtown LA area.

Took the free elevator (entrance on Hill St) to the observation deck on the 27th floor. It was so clear that day we could see Dodger Stadium, the Hollywood sign, the Griffith Park Observatory, the Pacific Ocean and even Catalina Island.

Must visit place in LA.Free entry.Can visit top floor to get birds eye view of the city.Lots to photograph.Learn about LA and the building.

The observation deck has great views of the city. Be prepared to pass through security and metal detectors. Youll need to swap elevators once and still climb another set of stairs. Everyone was friendly and the view was fantastic. We were able to take pictures of the Griffith Observatory and later that day took pictures of the City Hall from the Observatory. The only downside was the parking deck is underground a block away. To get from the deck to the building you pass through a park with an assortment of homeless sleeping on the benches and in the bushes.

Best free view of Los Angeles from the 27th floor. You can even see the Hollywood sign in the distance. You will need to take photo ID with you, and you will need to go through airline style security. The lifts from ground level to 22nd floor are very ornate.

The free popcorn gives them bonus points! I didnt expect it. But overall food that I try to taste was all delicious. Thank you.

Amazing building to visit. You can really feel the history of the city and the views are just beautiful and the best part is that it is for free.

Los Angels City Hall has fantastic architecture. Must see if you are interested. The people who work there are very helpful and bring a smile the DTLA area.

This is one of the most beautiful and iconic buildings in Los Angeles. When it was built it was a landmark that was meant to show that Los Angeles was now a force to be reckoned with. There were three days of celebrations for its opening.Take the time and go up to the top of the city hall building and go to the observation deck. A multitude of movies and TV shows have been filmed there. Youll be able to see this the that span from the ocean to the mountains.

A very nice place to see downtown LA from. Due to the position of the building outside of LAs skyline, you get to see the skyline from a very good vantage point. You enter from Main St. entrance go through some security and then you can go to the top floor of the building. The mayors office is on the way and there is a cool podium on the top floor. Plus its free!

Love this place and views

Ive only seen the outside. I think its a marvelous building

My main purpose for coming to this city hall was for the obversation deck. I read online that it was free and I love FREEBIES!! Plus great photo opportunity!! I got to view Downtown LA!

Really cool experience being able to visit the observation deck on the 27th floor and seeing the cityscape of downtown Los Angeles FOR FREE

Los Angeles City Hall is the center of all government of the city of Los Angeles. It houses the mayors office and the meeting chambers and offices of the Los Angeles City Council. It has a public (free admission) 360 view slightly obstructed observation deck on the 27th floor. Visitors enter the Main Street Entrance in which you will go through metal detector screener. Then you will provide ID and sign In at the front desk. Moreover, you will read an instruction on how to get to the observatory. Basically you will take the express elevators (#4 to #8) and get off on the 22nd floor and transfer to another elevator going thru the 26th floor and walk one flight of stairs or take a elevator and you will reach the observatory deck. The observatory deck has very narrow walk way so be mindful of other visitors. You will see a spectacular view of Los Angeles.

Very beautiful building.

Must see: historic 3rd floor Rotunda, Tom Bradley Room and observation deck.

The free observatory on top which is open on weekdays only offers splendid 360 degree views of the city. Offers a very unique view and wasnt crowded at all at noon time on a weekday.

Visit the Office of Finance in person to pay your business taxes. Take Metro, ride your bicycle or motorcycle to find convenient parking on Temple. Go thru the security check at the main entrance and greet the friendly officers keeping you safe. At window 4 of Room 101 youll find a friendly and dedicated city worker named Bridgett. If you behave like a rational calm friendly human being she might even waive some penalties if youre late in paying your taxes.

As far as City Halls go, this one gets top marks? Why? Well, because its completely open thats why! With just an ID and a smile you can get yourself up to the observation deck on the 27th floor, and catch some truly amazing photos of Los Angeles just like I did.

A very beautiful building. A must see if you are in Downtown L.A.

Amazing Veiw from observation deck, unfortunately good parking can be difficult to find.

Beautiful 360 degree views of Los Angeles; Free of charge. 27th floor observation deck open during business hours, 8am - 5PM M-F. Take 2 elevators to 26th floor, then stairs or 3rd elevator to 27th. Explanations of city sights on each side.

Bought two lottery tickets at Express Lotto. Its a district lottery venue, so you can get a claim from for Powerball there! Its in the LA Mal. (Downstairs across Main Street.)

Great protest had lots of fun

Beautiful landmark and still carries the spirit of the old downtown. A must for tourists and locals alike.

An excellent ceremony venue that faces a $56 million Grand Park - an Everyones Park - and can view a beautiful night skyline towards the left.

Beautiful city hall! If you’re around DTLA you should definitely visit it. Nice garden in front of the main entrance.

The staff were accommodating, the room was decent but lacking in amenities. Research about the local area though as some of my friends told me it was kinda like a local red-light district. Thanks!

Iconic building, nice to see it as we toured around.

Such a iconic landmark!

Historic building appeared in countless movies & tv shows. Visitor entrance is in Main st, you can get an amazing view from the observation deck in the 27th floor and all for FREE! ;)

Very beautiful place to look at and take selfies

Historic Building. Great place to take a walk down through Grand Park on Downtown LA.

The observation deck views are some of the best in LA & take D dash to avoid parking a block away

Very pretty building. Great views. Dont leave this landmark off your calendar.

Went protesting. No Justice, No Peace!!!

I hope now you know this is my arm

Enjoyed my stay in for a few months on a business try this particular place is beautiful! Will be returning in the next vacay

Great 360° views of Los Angeles, and its free

Nice app

Got around to take these photos.

Be sure to visit the FREE 27th floor observation deck for some incredible views!!! Youll be glad you did.

Is a great ! place to run or walk, nice view ...

I was really happy to visit this iconic building, and admission was free. The staff were very friendly!The place to take beautiful photos, at the top of the building the 360-degree city view is spectacular.Dont miss it out if you visit LA. Unforgettable experience.

Really a beautiful place. Love it.

Great observation deck! Totally free and no crowd.

It was fun to be there, it was good too show off housings also its a good way to fall with help with God ?, ,

Protesters

Great place to visit and see the views

Los Angeles City Hall is an incredible complex with beautiful structures, with a combination of old and newer architecture. It can be a little bit of a maze to get around in, but I enjoyed my visit here. The Vintage wood doors, and lovely three-dimensional artwork I viewed on the third floor, were very enjoyable to see.

Replace building. Plant a tree

Pretty cool

Nice to see such romantic City Hall

Go to the roof top observatory and check out the view!!

Very beautiful building, It us in the grand oark and the view is fantastic from there. It hs open for everyone to vizit.

The Daily Planet building from the original TV Superman! And of course too many other turns as a famous building in countless films and TV shows over the years and to this day.Kind of a thrill to go inside; appreciate the architecture and view the city from the 27th floor observation deck. (Free)

Beautiful building, nice park right outside. Hoping these folks are working overtime to solve traffic and homelessness! Nice job.

I went up to the visitors deck on the top floor. Great views of DTLA. And its free!

Great historic building to see the los angeles skyline for free!

Pretty good

Only an outside view, but spectacular. Highly recommend.

I think this is one of the secrets of DTLA. When I was there, there was only a small handful of tourists enjoying the free and breathtaking views. You have to go to the main door, surrender your bags and stuff for security screening, register your ID and off to the city hall tower after using 2 separate elevators. We reached at 4:20pm approximately and was pleasantly surprised by the thin crowd as well as the orangy hues reflecting off the different sky scrappers and surrounding mountaineous terrains. Each side of the building has a photograph with the sights plotted out and identified so that you can get the bearings of this enormous city.

You can go upstairs to the top floor when they are open . The observation deck isn’t very highly but it offers great view of the Los Angeles Skyline and grand park views as well.

Pillars are slightly obstructing the panoramic views, but the central location and high vantage point make it a nice sightseeing spot, especially considering that it’s free.

We took the tour of Los Angeles city hall and it was great. We also went to the 27th floor level for a fantastic view of the city. There’s a subway station 2 blocks away at First and Hill and they’re building another subway station even closer at 2nd and Broadway.

We got off a subway train at the Los Angeles Civic Center station and walked only two‪ short blocks to Los Angeles city hall. We took a tour of this amazing building which ended on the observation level. The views of Los Angeles and Catalina island were awesome.

Historic Building. Great place to take a walk down through Grand Park on Downtown LA..

The pics of city hall are the back of the building. ThE pictures of the skyline is the view you get....its really breath taking. Im sure the skyline view at night would be awesome. Grand park is right there its a great park with lots of art installations. I encourage all, natives and tourists, to spend an afternoon exploring DTLA!!

Such a beautiful city

Why cant we create legal camping zonesGet the tents off sidewalksShuttle them to camping zonesCreate a work for shelter program that mimic what a prisoner work program does its not brain surgury but human rights and human decencyBring services to the camping zones why have disorganized camping when it could be organizedBe a model for the countryIts a crime against natureWe treat prisoners better than we treat homeless messed up worldIf non.criminal homeless people are at campground s only criminal s will.be left on the street less crimeHalf of the crime is done out of desperation from being homelessCmon guys !

We rode a subway to the civic center station and from there walked two blocks to Los Angeles city hall. The tour was fantastic. We got to see the mayor of Los Angeles’s office. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms.

Nice place to visit

Great people here

Perfect place to exercise your first amendment rights
