Top Museums in Los Angeles

If you're planning to visit multiple museums in LA, consider getting the Museum Pass. It can save you some money and offers access to a bunch of places, including LACMA.

Don't forget to explore the basement. I thought the best exhibits were all upstairs, but there are some cool surprises down below.

If you're a student or teacher, bring your ID! I saved a good amount on tickets with a student discount, which was unexpected.

I think the museum has a café, but I found food options a bit pricey. So, if you wanna save some cash, grab a bite before you come or pack a snack for the road!

I recommend starting your visit at 10 AM, just when they open. It gets packed later, and you can enjoy the exhibits without having to navigate through crowds.

If you're a car buff, take some time to read the info plaques. Some of the stories behind the cars are super interesting, and it adds to the experience as you go through the museum!

Bring a water bottle with you. The museum has a nice café but it can get pricey. Keeping hydrated for less is always a win.

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded and I could take my time looking at all the cool cars without feeling rushed.

I recommend getting the audio guide. It was a little rough around the edges, but it gave me some neat insights I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Make sure to download the Griffith Park app. It helps with hiking trails and gives info on some cool nearby attractions that you might miss otherwise

I recommend visiting around 3 PM. The sunset views from the observatory are stunning and you can catch the evening stars, which is a really great experience.

My advice is to check out the planetarium shows! They’re educational and really entertaining, but get your tickets early to avoid long lines.
