Hotels near Griffith Observatory
Los Angeles, CA 90027, USA
Perched on the south slope of Mount Hollywood, Griffith Observatory is one of the best free attractions in Los Angeles, combining a working observatory and planetarium with the finest panorama in the city. Its Art Deco domes look out over the entire LA basin, with the Hollywood Sign on the hillside to one side and the downtown skyline shimmering in the distance.
Inside, the exhibits on space and the Tesla coil are free, the planetarium shows charge a modest fee, and the public telescopes open for stargazing on clear evenings. The surrounding Griffith Park, one of the largest urban parks in the United States, has hiking trails with even better sign views.
Pro Tip: Arrive an hour before sunset to watch the city turn from gold to glittering lights, but expect a scramble for parking - take the DASH shuttle or arrive early. Entry to the building and grounds is free; only the planetarium charges.
