Unclear where to park. A lot of fences blocking areas and unclear pathways to the entrance. Paid for experience with a tour and notified on arrival that tour wasn't available that day. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Staff were amazing, friendly, an knowledgeable. Plenty of time to view, read, learn and ask questions. Fascinating. Would recommend.

Fun way to see Beverly Hills and La Brea
Jose was a great guide. Pointed out some hidden gems in Beverly Hills and explained some of the film industry processes from an insider’s perspective. And of course seeing all that by Segway is the most fun way to do it!

I was impressed by the tour guide‘s knowledge about the history of Los Angeles. Furthermore, he‘s been extraordinarily kind the whole time. Also, the tour lead to the understanding that driving a Segway is equally awesome as easy.

Excellent Gem
The highlights are the bones which are well displayed and varied. The grounds are lovely and relaxing. The staff are enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. It’s immaculately clean. This is my second visit; my first having been about 30 years ago and it’s just as delightful now as it was then.

The staff that wore green shirts were fantastic! They interacted with my children and taught them so much. We appreciated the extra knowledge they had and the way they knew how to engage children. It wasn’t crowded at all, and that made all the difference. We were able to take our time and really see and read everything. This is a really cool, quick stop museum.
