Well, I'm kind of a nerd so I really enjoyed the tar pits and museum. Usually I would never bother going to a science museum while travelling cause I figure they're all the same but this one was definately unique. When you come into the park you see the tar pits with life size (or close enough) models of what... more

This is the one place in L.A. I had never visited, and I finally decided to take my 6 yr. old son on our recent visit. It is interesting and fun. Actually going to the Pit 91 excavation site is what makes if so worthwhile (although we didn't know it closed 1 and a half hours earlier than museum). There... more

The Page Museum is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. It does often seem to be overlooked, but it really shouldn't be. It's awesome, has a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and is really unique. Visitors to the Page Museum will discover an impressive array of fossils of Ice Age animals who met their ends in the tar pits.... more

I've been to LA many times but had never been to the tar pits or Page Museum. My two sons ages 7 and 10 found it as interesting as their parents. Neither were too much into dinosaurs or bones before the visit but we spent an hour or so inside looking at displays and then another half hour outside sticking... more

I really don't know why the La Brea Tar Pits aren't more well-known and more visited. I have been may times over the years, and everytime I go I find it more fascinating. I have just had the pleasure of taking my 7 and 9 year olds for the first time, and they were completely fascinated and engrossed by this... more

Definately a must see when you come with the kids. It's an inexpensive way to have fun with the kids. We actually went there the last day we were in town beofre we had to catch our flight. My son really enjoyed it. more

We thought we'd see dinosaurs and put our hands in goo, but instead enjoyed a fascinating oasis of ice age history in the middle of LA. No dinos, but saber tooth cats (not tigers) and mastodons. No hands-on goo, except in the gift shop, but a chance to struggle with a mechanism stuck in asphalt. Whole family liked it, from... more

What a great place! Totally educational with amazingly preserved sabre toothed cats and dire wolves. See both short films in the museum as they are both very interesting and fun! more

In the few days that I was in LA, one of the places I had to see was the La Brea Tar Pits. I'd heard about them for years and decided that this was a must do. Luckily, I wasn't disappointed. The Page Museum was great. For anyone who is a dinosaur lover or has kids that are into dinosaurs... more
