Griffith Observatory

It would depend on if the planets align correctly, but assuming you find a willing partner, Yes.

Yes

Yes they do... But no like before.. Now it's more limited

It like a movie theater if you go early ull get the best seats and if you want just to tour you can come when you want (open day Monday is always closed) you can buy a ticket to watch the solar system or a free movie about the history of griffen Park were a tube meteoroids are at and at night saturday (sometime) they will turn on the the telescope to see stern and the moon ( stern is out normally at early January or March) and the moon is always out at the end or begging of the month)

Yes. Good spot.

Entry is free but parking is not. It's totally possible that top lot could fill up so be prepared to park on the street and walk.

It is free entrance, but paid shows.

Yes it is , everything is open, except the Observatory, is closed.

No it's too small

I recommend you going in there both...at night and during daylight. It's a beautiful view regardless.

New yrs day, july 4th, veterans day its open. The rest of the holidays its closed.

It will take you right in front of the Observatory.

No. No fee for the Observatory, but parking is $4 per hour and there's a bus fee if you park down by the Greek Theater.

There is free parking towards the bottom of the hill - however, it's a fairly long hike, so only to be done if you're able to walk a mile or two up hill. Otherwise, there is closer parking (the earlier you get there on busy days, the further up hill you'll be able to park) - that's charged at $4 an hour. One thing to note - you *don't* need to leave your receipt on the dashboard when you pay. Also, the machines all take card!

Sorry no anymore

Don't go after 10pm. I was under the impression there'd still be some activity afterwards and tried walking past the closed road signs to take some night shots. It was completely dead and about 3/4 of a mile up I was surrounded by a pack of coyotes. Had to use mace to run them off. It looks lit up and potentially active still but it most definitely is not.

Yes it is. It is also featured in many other games like command and conquer, wasteland 2, mafia 2 and the crew, but also movies and series like terminator, back to the future 1,2, transformers, la la land, star trek voyager etc.

Yes, there is no problem, most lead your pet.

Not to sure hopefully soon

Yes

You pay nothing. Just drive yourself to the observatory point. Make sure to carry a good camera as the view is very ecstatic, Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood sign, sun setting, and many more others. At times parking can be a challenge depending on the number of people visiting the place but never worry about it. You'll always find a spot. Hope you'll enjoy when you decide to visit! Cheers!

Best if you go when the game is over

Yes use dash but better than under than Uber or Lyft also cheaper

No admission

Absolutley.

No

I visited during the week and was allowed to go inside because I had my vaccination card.

It's amazing!!

I think no.

Yes yess

Weekday (Friday) Hours Open 12:00 noon – 10:00 p.m. Weekend (Saturday – Sunday) Hours Open 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Closed Monday – Thursday Parking is enforced every day of the year, Monday-Friday 12pm—10pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am—10pm. Parking fees increase over peak season/holidays. If there is no show at The Greek Theatre you may park for free in that parking lot and ride the DASH Observatory up the hill for .

The actual observatory will be closed but the grounds around it and the trails will be open

1,135 ft (346 m)

All the outside and trails are open, just the inside is closed. You can still drive up, park and walk around.

Yes, if the parking by the observatory is not full and the security staff allow access, you may park there and enjoy the views. otherwise you may park down the hill, along the road and walk up to the observatory. The building is still closed due to COVID-19.

It's open if you call in advance

Yes you can.....

for public health

No

You can still drive up.

Okay that's two cheers but my reason for posting was to ask if the reason it was the only object visible last night -after a week of ash and smoke obscured skies, may have been related to it being the only red object!?

Yes, they have parking.

You can try

Lol...you could try but call them and let them know first if its ok. 😁

I know there we need to go on high places like Griffith Observatory but it needs to be dark to see it, and you need to use small telescopes. but I'm sorry I don't know if the comet already passed😔😊❤

They are open on the outside, but you must bring a mask and they require social distancing. Gorgeous view at dusk and night. I think the road closes at 10pm. Have fun!!

See I'm not sure about the schedule.

Yes, it's a great photo, sometimes its blocked by fog. The Hollywood sign is not visible at night

Thousands.

It didn't rain yesterday

They have different timings.. check this link http://www.griffithobservatory.org/

Parking is not along the mountain and at the top. If there is no even you can park at the Greek Theater and take the shuttle up the mountain. Shuttle is $.50 a person.

I would say about 3 hours for a group, maybe less. It is correct, there are not food options so try to plan your time, there is a cafeteria about 10 minutes down the way but I don't know how good it is. I hope this helps.

All three floors of exhibits are free of charge explore, thanks to the taxpaying citizens of Los Angeles. There are also free shows in the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater every hour on the hour. The only thing they charge for are the planetarium shows, which are worth the ticket because it looks like you're flying through space. $7 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, $3 for children aged 5-12.

Yes. Open. It is.

Parking isn't free but it's not much (I think I paid $4 for 2 hours). The shows cost money but you can see a big chunk of the museum for free.

Yes...apparently!

No fee to enter. They do accept donations. There is a donation box inside, at the bottom is the stairs, on the way to the lower level.

It's free

The museum is free, planetarium shows are $7 for adults, $5 for students, seniors, and kids.

It is right across the street from the greek

They're open every weekend closed on Mondays

Depends on what you want to see. The place is free! You can make a full visit. You only pay if you want to use the planetarium. I would not know the price.

The building is closed on Mondays but you can go to see the view and park up there.

Yes. Whenever the building is open, visitors age 12 and over still must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter. Masks are still required inside. Both requirements remain in place because the Observatory is a City-operated facility. https://griffithobservatory.org/visit/getting-here/

Vermont ave / Ambrose Ave

From the observatory’s website: “Whenever the building is open, visitors age 12 and over still must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter. Masks are still required inside. Both requirements remain in place because the Observatory is a City-operated facility.” So an unvaccinated 11 year old is ok as long as they wear a mask.

They do. Along with other space debris that falls to earth. They even have a moon rock.

Didn’t get a meal because that area was close but chips and snacks are about $1.50-$3. Bottle of water was around $2+

$10/hour

Yes you can. Until the Observatory opens you can wander around as you please. They set up a barrier right outside of the actual Observatory when its open. To get past the barrier, you must provide proof of vaccination and a photo ID. Otherwise, you are free to roam outside the barrier with no problem.

if you've got a digital copy of your vaccination records make sure you have a copy available offline as the connection up there can be spotty. Vaccination records are checked before entering the building and masks are provided and required to be worn when walking around inside as well as watching any planetarium shows. Nothing is required for the lawn or hiking around the area.

There might be restrictions with pets as this is a big tourist area and can get crowded. I would call or check on their site to be sure.

There are a lot of fascinating things to see inside the observatory that can be enjoyed in any weather. That said, my personal favorite part of the observatory is the amazing views of the city from the upstairs decks and that could be affected if the weather is bad. Also, depending on how the parking situation is when you go, a long walk from your car could be uncomfortable in bad weather.

When I went 4/15/2022 you either had to show proof of vaccination completed 2 weeks earlier, or, a negative COVID test done in a professional setting. A home test was not accepted.

Yes the outside part is constantly open. No matter if the observatory is closed you can hike anywhere. But you have to pay ridiculous prices for parking or you got to hike up if you want free parking.

What do you mean

Just Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I believe.

Better clear view during summers

Yes it is

Yes

Only if you are CJ from San Andreas

Sandwich 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 🥪 🍞 💧 🚰 🚿 🚱 💦 ♒ 💧 🚰...u can also enjoy...the land of scenery as well as Forrest-like...environment

I found it too childish

Yeah it is easy if you get the parking above side.

It's free drive up park free

Free! Unless you want to see a planetarium show or buy a toy rocket (psh, I definitely don't have, like, three. Toys are for kids...)

Yes 🙌

You should try heading there early before they open, last time I went was a weekday!

It’s close due to pandemic will be open sooner!!

I’m sure soon, since almost everything else opened back up again on the 15th.

More to come re opening after 6/15

Inside is closed, outside is open.

Yes

Yes you can.

Yes it is open

Either along road to the top with a fee or at the bottom for free and hike to the top

The Observatory has been closed so not sure you would even have access. There's parking down at street level so you can take a short(20min) hike up or you can also drive up and find paeking closer to observation area.

😷😷

As of March 13 2020 the observatory has been closed. So no one has been working there

Yes. But only outside. All else is closed. Except for bathrooms.

Due to the pandemic, the building itself is closed. However, you can hike up to it and enjoy the terrace and the surrounding area's which are quite nice. The views are phenomenal!

Yes but do not forget to put masks

A video how looks inside. https://youtu.be/owkl7i99sZ4

Yes! I was there on Wednesday!

Yes & hiking trails are also open

No

The grounds, terraces, and sidewalks are open. Most hiking trails are open too.

I'm not really sure

It's closed

To talk to an agent, press 8.

closed, checked and only grounds keeper/security up there. Building is closed but area is open if you still want to look around/hike paths. Be weary and use mosquito repellant.

It's inevitable at some point. Although NASA / Government have kept a close observation in attempt to prevent such incidents.

All grounds!!

It shouldn't be a problem. As per their website you can do photo shoots outside (not inside) as long as it doesn't block any sidewalks or pathways or interfere with other visitors' access. http://www.griffithobservatory.org/visiting/helpfulguidelines.html#photography

Yes you can buddy. Take your own car. You might have to park far away and walk. I dont know if its worth the effort though. Just go on a weekday and enjoy. Why make it complicated. The observatory is free anyway.

Yes they have tickets for the shows but most of the observatory is free to see.

Hundreds. It gets especially crowded around sunset (and I would assume sun rise, but that's too early for me).

Yes it should be

Emmm... i think 6 or 7 pm

Nada. Nothing. It's free.

Website says they close at 5 pm but unlike Christmas, they ARE open tomorrow normal business hours.

Nopr

No, it is closed

But i think the observstory is closed on a Monday.

7 $ inside the observatory, outside it s free

no entry free

Yes to handicapped parking

Most probably yes. Not movie stars though.

Yes the view is nice, even if the building is closed.

I would recommend 90 minutes before sunset so you can get a parking spot at the top parking lot. Sunset there is very impressive, and watching the lights of LA start coming on after sunset is fabulous.

Yes, but the line is huge

We took the bus, red line I believe. Parking was a nightmare the night we went. The bus was 50 cents. Parking was $10 an hour, if you could find a spot.

Ues, the gate also close, so cars cannot enter, but the rest of the park area is open for you to enjoy.

Excellent place to view much of Losangeles, CA.

$10 per hour Go on a clear day for good view of Hollywood sign

You can park downhill free, but need to hike 15mins going up to the observatory.

What vinoth says is correct, have fun

The truth is I don't have much knowledge of what I know about this place, how little I know what in astral phenomena created what in this place has a telescope to look at it more but what happens in it

No wifi in the Observatory.

Unfortunately we do not drive with gasoline

You can drive up to the observatory. There is limited parking near the observatory. If the parking is full you can park down and hike up.

There is a cafe inside the observatory

Everyday, if you arrive at the greek teather parking before 4 PM. That parking is free only if the aren't events at the greek theather in that day, so check the theather website.

it s free

There should be indoors. No outdoor

Until 10 pm

Very safe and it's 1 mile stretch, no chance of getting lost

I think it's free to enter , ticket for show

Just around the park only. Not inside the actual building.

If you park in the Greek Theater lot you can take the shuttle up the mountain 50 cents one way. Otherwise parking costs at least $5 dollars and you might have to walk a good distance up hill.

Everything is free, except the planetarium. Parking is $ 8 per hour.

It was open when we visited. I believe you have to buy ticket for that.

Yes, you can

You can park near the greek theater and take a shuttle up. The shuttle is 50 cents and comes every 30 minutes

I would say 2 hours as well it is really busy since it's free admission but it is $10 an hour for parking

I believe they do

Early afternoon, because at sunset time it's so crowded.

Some parking you have to pay for. The lots are free though

Also the planetarium show has a ticket which is also nominal (under $10 per person) & i would recommend watching it esp if you have kids...one of the best planetarium shows i've ever watched!

Yes I believe it's one of the best spots to see it and take a picture in front of it (zooming in)

Of course

Excellent place to walk and the view towards the angels is beautiful

No problems

Parking Is very expensive, I suggest you leave the car far down the road and hike up 15-20 minutes

Free

We enjoyed the morning because there was still parking. Lol

No, it is a government owned organization, and is a part of the state park.

Yes there is a restaurant/cafe called "The cafe at the end of the Universe"

Not

Not sure about luggage, but you can bring a bag in yes.

Yes I believe so. I think there is required times where you must pay, there will be signs showing those times.

It really varies depending on the show, but to most popular are 30 minutes. However, they have much longer show that approach the length of full movie. They have some event called "Sunset Walk" which scheduled to be a 1 hour long. To get more info you may visit www.griffithobservatory.org/programs/programs.html

Yes its possíble but you have tô buy ticket to the planetarium. Without buying a ticket it is possible to see several other attractions!

Not as far as I know but I was there only for Saturday night.

there is no cost to enter or park. If you want to take the bus to the top of the hill you need to bring 50 cents per ride per person. most events are free.

Yes

It is free to enter and free to park. If you don't want to walk up the mountain, take the bus to the top, called the Dash. The bus costs 50 cents per person to ride

Yes. While it is an observatory, and the entire inside is about looking at planets and stars, the views are spectacular. From the observatory, you can see the Hollywood sign at a good distance, mountains, the ocean, as well as entire city views of LA and Santa Monica. The observatory itself is atop a mountain, so you also get nature in the trip.

As long as it's not Monday. GO is closed on Mondays.

sunrise over la is wow

The planataty shows cost $7

No sorry they don't have wheelchairs

Family diner! It's close by and the food is excellent.

A very nice coffee ;)

The entrance is paid

Don't know how big you're talking, they have regular parking at the top and lots more parking at the bottom.

Free for visit and you can purchase ticket for shows (as i remember us$7)

Admission to this place is free. For more information, you can visit this website http://griffithobservatory.org/

Free for the observatory. Park at the greek theater for free or pay $10 an hour for parking at the observatory

Absolutely. The front lawn as well as the top of the building has an excellent view of the city and the surrounding country side. Happy New Year!

Honestly there are probably a lot of them but unfortunately even regular parking is scarce.

They have public telescopes that are capable of viewing Saturn

No

It's free. Planetarium shows are $7.

Yes

I ask myself the same questiom

It's free to enter the museum and 7 bucks to enter the optional planetarium show

Worth it, but expect traffic jams and a dire parking situation. May make sense to park at the free parking lot further down and hike up.

Its up to you...but I would be there atleast 1 hour to see inside and out and absorb the scenery. Also at night the view its really beautiful...I went at night and was well worth it.

It is free to enter the museum itself, the three floors of exhibits and the documentary about the museum. The only thing that costs money are the shows in the planetarium, projected on the main dome where you feel like you are flying in space. Worth the $ 7 entry fee

I think you can

But parking quite expensive though, 6$/hr

Unfortunately the rangers close it at night :( after 10PM is marked very clearly. However its not clear if only vehicle access is restricted. By parking after the greek theater close to the bird refuge parking lot, it only takes minutes to walk up to the top.

Not inside the building unless they are service dogs, but there are many great walks available in the immediate surrounding area that doggies love.

Most likely very vague as far as evening as concerned the parking lot is usually closed off and full by 5

Yes except the planetarium.

You can not bring your own telescope unless you're with LAAS on a star party night. However, there are Observatory telescopes on the sidewalk every clear night it's open.

It is free

Yes. The grounds are open but the building itself is not. If you don't want to pay for parking, you can park at the theatre and hike up.

No you cant

I recommend you go to there early.

12 pm

Summer season = more people. Less parking space = higher cost. Park at the theatre and hike.

Of course

Yes for the parking next to the Griffith. It is free if you stay down the hill and walk to the Griffith. Approximately 20 minutes walk.

Buenas tardes Samantha. Do you mean if it's suitable for kids? Indeed. They'll fall in love with the view. The place rocks either way but I recommend you to go during daylight and at night as well so you enjoy both views. There's a small kind of museum in there too.

Ms. Vázquez is correct. The Observatory is a tourist place.

Not free, Pay Stations - July to September 3 parking is $8/hr. M-F noon-10pm. After Sept 3, parking is $6/hr. Or you can hike up there for free!

Yes!

As far as I'm concerned it will be free. Be mindful that the parking is scarce compared to the amount of visitors they received. Most of people leave their cars downtown and walk the whole way to the Observatory.

But you have to pay to park. Six dollars every hour.

Yes, entrance to the viewpoint is free, as long as you can get yourself there. If you'd like to see a special star and planetary show it will cost $.

Yes, it more crowded after 7 PM becaue of it is great place for seeing the LA at the night and also for photography.

Yes free. U will most likely be parking along the hills curbside. Not sure if they actually check the meter parking.

$8 an hour now. Free parking at the greek theatre on non concert nights.

Not a clue but maybe you should Google it.

Yes. It is open until 10pm today.

Closed due to fire. Tomorrow will be open again

It will be open tomorrow

The entrance to the observatory is free. However, events such as the Planetarium cost between $ 3.00 and $ 7.00, depending on age.

No. Not tonight.

Its closed on Monday

Yes. Be sure you pay for enough hours. You will be fined.

No special viewings. Unfortunately, the Lunar eclipse is only visible from Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and Australia, on July 27. However, the Observatory and Telescope are open normal hours, that day.

Noon to 10pm. Bring a packpack.

Yes

No they close all the area

Yes it is

No

5 or 6 PM is good but may be you have hard time because traffic. Totally after 6 is better becuase when getting liitle bit darker you have better view for Photography.

The grounds are open but check hours for specific information

Free

Fantastic view of the Hollywood sign!

You can use

Free

Yes

Theyre usually closed on Mondays so Im guessing no, but you can check their website to be sure.

There is a lot of parking at the base of the hill (next to Greek theater). You could park there and walk up the hill in about 15 min.

If there was rolled Rebel without cause and also Terminator 1984

They have a fabulous website. Check it out!

At the peak moment aquarid meteor on 6th May

What is a brochure?

I'm not really sure about that

I thing that you can get some cane of permit from the local authoritys

Hello Rupa Sridhar. rises around 2:15 a.m. local daylight time in early April, and around 12:15 a.m. at month's end. Three hours later it is shining more than 20 degrees up in the southeast – providing an eerily beautiful end for a late-night Griffith telescopic observing session.

Manageable if not crazy busy, more worried about losing a toddler in the crowds when stupid busy. Off hours for sure

Go early, earlier the better. No reservation to drive up and look around or go inside just to look around. However you do need tickets for the shows inside. One of the theaters inside was recently named the Leonard Nimoy theater, very cool.

Yes the parking is paid, it's $5 per hour on the side of the road that leads to the observatory. But know that finding parking is still difficult although it is expensive. If you are lucky, there is a spot on the other side of the mountain and it's kinda off the road that's free. When I visited 2 years back they didn't have paid parking but now they do.

Probably

DASH Observatory public bus service from the Vermont/Sunset Metro Red Line station to the Observatory service operates during the following times: Monday – Friday12:00 noon to 10:00 p.m. Saturday – Sunday10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Yes, need debit or credit card

Yes sure you can go at any time

Not sure about that maybe wise to bring your own if you need one good luck.

Free

It's free you just pay for parking

You would have to call and ask

I'm not sure maybe calling them you can find out.

It's free at the bottom and you can take the shuttle or walk it to the top

It's free to enter,

Free to enter

After i park at Greek theater's parking lot and then take DASH from there to the observatory, right?

Check the websitr

No. What you have to pay for is the functions they do in the dome

Cloudy

Email your question to the Observatory, then post the answer on here

Yes, it is open.

Monday closed

No fire wk. I would think because of danger of fire in a lot of green.

Entrance is free. You only pay if you want to go to one of the movies that expose

I believe so but there is not a lot of parking available in the lot itself and if you are late, you have park street parking driving up the hiss which may be a problem for you.I suggest going there early.

Check the last page. Check hours

Walk, a bus also goes up, type in maps directions to use transit.

Actually no it isn't. The park closes at 10 pm.

You can also check the shuttle pick up locations in Hollywood and find free parking around there. The shuttle drops and picks up right in front. All that info is on the website.

The parking lot at and around the observatory cost $4 hr. Best bet is to park for free down the hill near the Greek Theater and then take the shuttle bus across the street for 50¢ round trip.

No they will be closed on new years day

They run all day, you can find their full schedule on their website.

I don't now. This information is not disponible.

Yes

If you want to get the most from the place check out the planetarium show times and spend the day.

You can hang out until 10pm when the park closes.

Yes, they have planetarium shows for everyone

Fantastic view! You wont be disappointed! Views of LA & Hollywood sign. Its very popular though & i wasn't able to park in top car park, had to park along the side of the road and walk the rest of the way..

Free

Two public telescopes, both free, line depends on how busy the place is - longer waits in summer. I was there at a busy time, wait was about 30 mins

For a while at least - because it takes a while for people to disperse

I believe it closes at 10pm

The parking is $4 per hour. But if you park in the flat area the parking is free. There is a bus that can take you up to the observatory for 50 cents.

Yes. Parking is limited

Yes you can stay but the museum is close at 10:00 and you can stay for the view like @ 11:00pm-4:00am it says it closed till sun set till sun rise but I never got stop and if you will go on a hike don't hike at night because there's a P22(a Bob cat) if you every confront him make a lot of noise an make your self look big

Yes, but not a lot of options and it is expensive.

Yes we pay for parking lot.Its's 4 dollars each other.

They will carry it. There's nowhere to check in a bag or a coat. There's also a cafe if they prefer to buy a sandwich.

That is very interesting place and have lot about our earth and sky to know and fun place Related to famous movies and move stars.really good to see nature.

There is a shuttle bus that goes from the end of Hollywood Blvd if that's any help to you, it's probably always going to be busy roads up and down + hiking up is hot and sweaty.

Yes

no the best time to go is during business hours hiking or walk it gets really dark plus there's people out there up too know good some times.

You can go for a really nice hike if you're up to ,the weather is super nice and you don't really feel it just make sure you do it during the day at night is very dark and is almost impossible

Parking is $4 an hour at the metered spaces and the parking lot.

It is free.

Griffith Park Observatory is open noon - 10 pm on Halloween

Yes, there is a paid parking right next to the observatory, but it is awmost full. There is free parking on the road up to rhe observatory, but one has to wall a bit rhen, somerime for up to 10 minutes . Have a comfortable shoes😉❗Enjoy your trip. Bu the way one can hike to it on a trail from the botom of Griffith park if you park near Los Feliz blvd. It takes 30-45mim.
