Griffith Observatory: The Eye of Wisdom in Los Angeles, a Must-Visit Free Landmark
Griffith Observatory is no ordinary attraction. It is a spiritual symbol of Los Angeles, where science and romance interweave. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or not, it is definitely worth a visit, and admission is free (except for certain exhibitions and performances). Its charm lies in its unique integration, with distinct and profound highlights:

Core Highlights:

1. Unparalleled panoramic view of the city:
Located on the top of the Hollywood Hills, the observatory itself is the best viewing platform overlooking Los Angeles. During the day, the city texture is in full view; at dusk, witness the &quot;City of Angels&quot; covered with golden rays of light, the lights are on, until the lights of thousands of homes under the bright stars, and the Hollywood sign is within reach - this is the most iconic postcard perspective of Los Angeles, a holy place for photography enthusiasts.

2. Immersive astronomy science hall:
Samuel Oschin Planetarium: The world&#39;s top dome theater, with advanced laser projection system and surround sound effects. Its programs (tickets required) such as &quot;Dark Night Stars&quot; and &quot;Center of the Universe&quot; are not simple popular science, but a soul-stirring journey of cosmic art, taking you through time and space to feel the vastness and mystery of the universe.
Free exhibition hall The content is easy to understand and highly interactive. Must-see:
Foucault pendulum: a classic device that intuitively demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
Planetary models and astronomical maps: Exquisite display of solar system and cosmic knowledge.
Giant Tesla coil demonstration: (at a specific time) watch the spectacular sight of artificial lightning, full of scientific sense.
The historical building itself: The Art Deco style incorporates Greek revival elements, and the dome and murals are full of astronomical symbols, which is itself a work of art.

3. A window to experience the stars:
Free public telescope observation: This is the most precious tradition of the observatory! Open at night when the weather is fine (see the official website for details), you can witness the lunar craters, Jupiter stripes, Saturn rings, and even distant nebulae with your own eyes through powerful Zeiss refracting telescopes and other equipment. Professional volunteers explain on the spot, making the universe within reach. This real stargazing experience cannot be replaced by any screen.

Is it worth going? Conclusion:

Highly recommended to:
Visitors who are visiting Los Angeles for the first time: This is a great starting point to understand the city&#39;s geography and temperament.
Photography enthusiasts: Capture the classic camera position of Los Angeles panorama and Hollywood sign.
People who are curious about astronomy and science: Free and high-quality science feast.

We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.
