Highlights
More information
Griffith Observatory is a world-famous landmark, but even Angelenos don’t know a lot about it. Called “the hood ornament of Los Angeles,” it features a public observatory, planetarium, and 67,000 square feet of exhibition space.
How can you experience it without missing anything? This private tour, designed by some of the observatory’s former employees, covers everything from science and history to architecture and movie trivia. Highlights include a show in the planetarium theater and seeing the incredible 500,000-volt Tesla Coil. And don’t forget the opportunity to get a closer look at outer space through telescopes, whether by day or night.
That’s why we call this your close-up with the real stars of LA.
