Over deze activiteit

Gebruik uw algemene toegangsbewijs om toegang te krijgen tot de La Brea-teerputten en het museum. Op deze plek worden fossielen uit de ijstijd midden in LA opgegraven.
Geniet van deze unieke bezienswaardigheid en haal het beste uit uw dag. Bewonder de teerkuil vol borrelend teer, reis terug in de tijd met prehistorische planten in de tuin uit het Pleistoceen en verken de actieve opgravingen, waar de wetenschappers elke dag iets nieuws vinden.
Het museum zelf beschikt over een rijkdom aan museumstukken. Bewonder de fossielen van prehistorische mammoeten, sabeltandtijgers, wolven en grondluiaards, of kijk toe hoe paleontologen in het laboratorium aan hun nieuwste vondsten werken.
Voor een uitstekend overzicht kunt u een plekje reserveren in de Excavator Tour, inbegrepen in de toegangsprijs. Deze begeleide tour ontrafelt de geschiedenis van de teerputten en legt uit hoe zoveel grote dieren hier bleven plakken. U bezoekt ook het Fossil Lab, de Observation Pit en Project 23, waar medewerkers voortdurend proberen de raadselen van prehistorisch LA te ontrafelen.

Wasn't much different from my last trip there nearly 20 years ago. Not much interactive, just bones in displays mainly. The reconstructed skeletons were cool, but there wasn't a lot to keep the kids interested, it took all of half an hour to see it all. The one movie wasn't running and the other movie didn't seem to be letting people in, maybe I misinterpreted it, but no one there seemed very friendly or inviting, and there were only a handful of other people in the museum. We did see several school buses as we were pulling in they getting ready to leave so maybe the staff was overwhelmed from the kids. The grounds were nice, but we choose the hottest day of the year to visit, so couldn't enjoy the outdoors much. They were doing much in the pits because of the heat and there wasn't much signage to inform about the pits, only that most of the work had been done 30 years ago. They have built a huge modern art museum on the same grounds, but my grandkids aren't much into modern and contemporary art. We did go to the Farmers Market and the Hollywood walk of fame then up to Griffith Park Observatory, the observatory was the highlight of the trip. I spent 12 to park at the museum, which was half what I spent on the 3 tickets, seems awfully high price to park for an hour.

Very cool. Lots of interesting facts and info about past researchers in the area, animals that used to roam the LA La Brea area and the asphalt/tar pits in general. My son wasn't as impressed, but definitely a fun place to visit and learn about those who've lived well before us, animals and humans alike!

Wonderful experience for my family from France. Great learning experience for my 5 year old grandson loved the bones and tar! Little 13 mo. old interested in sights and sounds... Area around the Tar Pits great for walking and lunch. Highly recommend getting tickets on-line and getting there early.
