A truly great experience and incredibly cheap considering the amount of time you can spend here.
As sometime who loves dinosaurs it was wonderful

Park is on a different level of insanely bad. But the natural History museum was amazing. I would recommend finding alternatives parking spots other than the blue lot or green lot, whatever two lots they recommend on their museum parking recommendation website page, don't go there. My gf and I decided to park by the usc dorm campus that had meters. I felt a little better leaving my car on the street of a major school than on a random LA street. And it turned out to be safe enough. I was only expecting to look at their exhibit with the purest form of rocks but we ended up buying tickets to the cat exhibit, nature exhibit and dinosaur bones exhibit. Thought we'd spend only an hour there, ended up spending three. If you love learning come here. Cheap and fun, just plan your parking alternatives.

Parking is rather far from the History Museum, and it may be difficult for seniors. Parking is overly pricey, as well as the food choices. Other than that, there is much to see, and worth the cost.

My kids really enjoyed every bit of it. It's so worth it. There's so many different things that I didn't even know it had happened. It's nice to learn new things

It was a wonderful experience for us, My baby was very much surprised seeing the animal models as she has seen them only in pictures. Also my baby touched the real crystal .

Natural History museum is amazing our 3+ year over the dinosaurs, water feature and crystals.

I had an amazing time visiting the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles! The exhibits are beautifully curated, and everything feels so immersive — from the massive dinosaur skeletons in the Dinosaur Hall to the sparkling gems and minerals displays. You can really tell how much care and effort goes into preserving and presenting each collection.
The museum is way bigger than it looks from the outside, so plan to spend a few hours exploring. Every room feels like stepping into a different world — nature, history, evolution, and even the present-day urban wildlife of LA. It’s educational, fun, and perfect for both kids and adults.
The staff were kind and helpful, the place was spotless, and the layout made it easy to move from one area to another without feeling rushed. My favorite part was seeing how they connect science with storytelling — it makes you appreciate just how incredible our planet’s history is.
If you love learning or just want a relaxing day surrounded by fascinating exhibits, this place is absolutely worth it. I’d definitely come back again — there’s always something new to discover!
