Griffith Observatory

2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, 90027, CA

This observatory perched on a hill in Griffith Park is the place for your budding astronomers to learn about Earth, the skies, the sun, the stars, and other matters of galactic importance. There are plenty of interesting exhibits, as well as telescopes for use in the daytime or evening. The planetarium shows get rave reviews, but note that the shows are inappropriate for children under 5, as they’re likely to be “disorienting and/or disturbing”€ for this age group, according to the Griffith Observatory website.
