No. All the pits are fenced off and any spot outside the fences are clearly marked so that you can avoid them.

Paul Baraz | Aug 26, 2018

Not likely and there are places in the park where the tar bubbles up in the grassy areas ; so watch where you walk

La Brea Tar Pits and Museum | Aug 25, 2020

No—but there tar does tend to seep up to the surface. These spots are designated by brightly colored cones and should be avoided.

Julie Gaskill | Aug 25, 2020

If you don't pay attention you can. Watch out for cones marking free seeping asphalt

Greg Griffith | Aug 26, 2018

Not likely. Areas wth tar are enclosed.

The only tar is from all the dogs, and bums sleeping on benches thruout park, not the cleanest around pits dirty dirty. You have to PAY to enjoy this landmark go inside for the real deal

No, unless you go where you aren't supposed to be. Area is fenced off and cones are placed over any random tar outside the fences.

I got a little on my shoes but it was mostly present because I wore white shoes. The majority of the pits are marked but there are some small ones In the grass that aren't.

No tar on your shoes or clothes. They have sidewalks to get to all of the exhibits. The pits do have a distintive smell😀.

You can in the park, however the tar spots are marked with cones. Shouldn't be a concern, even for small children.
