What a fantastic museum to spend the day at. I've been to this museum multiple times and I always geek out when I'm here. From the dino exhibits to mammals and everything in between, it's just filled with awesome educational fun.

Loved the museum!! So much to see that the 5 hours that we spent there wasn't enough. The gift shop was a little expensive but I think more variety is needed as both gift shops onsite had just about the same things which made it pointless to go back and forth between the shops. I would definitely recommend this as a family experience!!

Place is so awesome. First time visiting. It's very clean and lots a room to move around. It's a must see if you are in the area and have time. Veterans get in for free.

A must see! Love everything about this museum... if you're going on a weekend, try to get there early morning (lesser crowd & easier parking)

Very pleasant experience , was a bit busy on the weekend but that's expected, typically during mornings and weekdays are the best when it's most empty . The place has updated their fossils and minerals so it definitely has a bigger more to offer experience... Definitely a major must do for anyone of any age who enjoys history from clay pots and art to fossils of several land and marine animals and animals of today's world !

We got there at 4PM and the tickets were half price! The museum closes at 5PM but we were able to see everything we wanted to see in one hour. It was a Sunday so it was pretty empty as well. I will definitely be doing the same another time.

It's one of the biggest museums around here. You can easily be here for few hours. Even though there's not much to see here besides the gem room and becoming Los Angeles exhibit, a very very confusing layout of the building. And way too many little kids running around without supervision.

If you're still interested in coming here don't forget to check out the second floor.

Proof of vaccination and ID required, no masks inside. Free admission from 3-5 and free daily for California EBT card holders.

Love the nature gardens, enjoyed First Friday, but almost didn't get into program despite having tickets. Be sure to get a seat early (I e. Don't sit around in the garden drinking wine like I did).

Wonderful visit with my wife, we run The Gem Museum in Singapore and when we saw that there was a special exhibition on gems and minerals we quickly jumped on the opportunity!

Wonderful specimens with clearly written information.

Enjoyed our visit thoroughly!

I LOVED it here! Saw and learned so many things I had never seen or heard of before! The rise of mammals exhibit was incredible. The gem exhibit was incredible. I spent about 4 hours here completely lost and immersed. 10/10 must visit

Jose Rivera 5 stars rating.

Truly delighted by the experience, the museum was very complete and the wings/expo areas very well cared and with much much of information about the matter at hand. The prehistoric wing is a museum-classic and a must to visit, it includes lots of information and actual-size skeleton build ups of dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals... all expositions were complemented with much side educational information. The venue has ample parking space however I'd recommend to go there early as the lot may get full very fast. In case you visit the place with a senior person, you can ask for a complimentary wheelchair and everyone will assist you. Will visit the place again whenever I'm back in the area.

My wife and I took our two kids here on Saturday morning and spent a solid 4-hours. The kids are only 3 so thats good. There was lots to see and lots to do that kept them interested all the way. These photos are only a few of the areas that we walked through, it was all pretty amazing and educational. The outdoor area was relaxing and refreshing, the food court had good food as well with decent pricing. Overall a great place to have some family fun or just explore and learn from history. Will be returning again.

Haven't been here since I was a kid in middle school. There has been some changes to the place but for the most part it's the same. The new Los Angeles exhibit is awesome as it goes through different times and places in the city. Then you have all your archeology and animals.

Great museum so much to see, a little hard to do all in one day with little ones mine got cranky by nap time. stroller is a must. You can purchase tickets online or at the door they do ask for covid vaccine card and ID so make sure to have handy. Parking is $20 If I remember correctly, $15 for entrance and other exhibits do have an extra cost. Don't forget to visit the science center next door (free) and relax in the rose garden. Totally recommend

This is one of the best natural history museums in the nation. My son loves dinosaurs and literally it was his playground for hours. Plenty of fossils and skeletal structures. Endless animal history to view, including a 3D film (a bit outdated but so be it). What's even more amazing is the outdoors garden. Do not forget to take a walk around the museum with plenty of flowers, plants, bees and butterflies to wander through. We had a fantastic time here. Definitely worth the ticket price.
