Everyone should check it out at least once The views from this place are phenomenal. I started going here when I was a teen prior to moving out of state. I would love to go back and visit for old times sake. Just think it's been nearly 20 years since I've been here and I can still remember how great it was.
WOW!! You have to experience this!! (I am really excited to write this review, in hopes that others will take part of this temporary make-shift observatory.

WOW - no seriously, WOW Totally interesting from the moment you start to drive up the hill and walk in. This place is full of things for your child to see and do. I recommend this observatory for all ages - a definite must-see especially if you're just visiting California. This place will surely keep you entertained for hours on end and my kids love that most of it is all hands-on so now I can truthfully say that I've touched rocks from Mars and Jupiter. My kids get a kick out of it.
A great view, and educational too! The Grifith Observatory is a great place to go for an amazing view of the city and the stars. It's great for a romantic date or a family trip. Inside the observatory there are display and exhibits to read and learn about. Outside hey also have a large telescope that gives you an even better view of the stars. Aside from this they offer a laser lights show that's set to music. Pink Floyd and U2 are two that I know of, they tend to change it so call to check. The Observatory is currently clos... read more
