Natural History Museum

I have been coming to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles since I was a little kid. I have gone here with school, church, and family over the years. So being back home for the week, I was adamant about taking my Boyfriend here as he loves museums as much or more than I do. My favorite thing has always been the animal rooms with various taxidermy species from all over the world. Some things have changed over time, but there are so many things that still look the same as when I was a child. The entrance has moved to a different location than it used to be and there have been some updates over the years but it is still amazing every time I am there. We visited while they had the "Unearthed: Raw Beauty" exhibit as well as the "Fierce! The Story of Cats" exhibit. Unearthed, is one of the most incredible exhibits I have ever seen here. It was amazing, breath taking and so beautiful. We unfortunately didn't make it through every last room as we were exhausted from our previous few days of activity. This was an amazing experience and it definitely wont be my last visit here.

A very fun activity to do while in Los Angeles and easily a good three hour mid day pass time . Parking may be difficult to access but once you get in it’s straightforward. The museum is well maintained and upkeep is good. Out doors area with plenty of spots for kids to play and run around . Restaurant cafeteria serves classic fair but also has gluten free options . Definitely something to attend if you are in the LA area and have kids .

An extraordinarily well maintained museum with superb exhibits on dinosaurs, human history, LA history and much much else. Parking can be expensive and a challenge. The cafe is meh. There’s no audio guide shockingly. Outside of that, the quality of the exhibits and the building and breadth and depth of exhibits is stunning. You can spend the whole day here and still have much to see and learn. Kudos to the curators and friendly staff.

I had an amazing experience at the Natural History Museum. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stunning architecture and the welcoming atmosphere. The exhibits were beautifully curated, informative, and engaging for all ages. The dinosaur section was definitely a highlight—seeing the life-sized skeletons up close was unforgettable. I also loved how interactive many of the displays were, making it easy to learn while having fun. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions. Everything was well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're going with family, friends, or even solo, this museum is a must-see. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, educational, and memorable experience!

Really great experience for the price, enjoyable for people and families with kids. Fabulous architecture with a plethora of historical artifacts and interactive activities. Dinosaur exhibit is great as well as the original exhibits the museum provides. A lot of local history, which is unique. Parking may be a bit of a struggle on site but parking a little less than a mile out (nice stroll passing by other monuments and buildings outside).
