It's a great photo op, usually there's no one else there, or maybe one of two other groups. But the place is big enough that you don't have to wait in line to take pictures! Street parking is free, but also, be respectful of the area as it is a residential area!

We came out for Friday night roller skating at Melrose Rooftop Theatre to celebrate a surprise…read morebirthday with friends. It's a fun concept, but the experience left a bit to be desired. We checked in at the front entrance and took the slow-moving elevator up to the rooftop. It wasn't a huge deal, but definitely something that stood out. When we got to the top, we were asked to fill out a waiver on our phones--super quick and easy, but honestly something that could've been done earlier when buying tickets online. Parking in the area was $20 at a lot across the street. Not terrible for a Friday night in LA, but still worth mentioning. Your ticket includes skate rental and one drink, so we grabbed a Paloma (the other option was not available) which hit the spot. Unfortunately, the skating surface was a bit of a letdown--treaded hard plastic mats that didn't offer a smooth ride. It took a lot of effort to move and wasn't beginner-friendly. Plus there was a tricky spot that tripped up more than a few skaters. The biggest surprise was the low energy overall--music was pretty quiet, and the vibe felt more relaxed than festive. We expected more of a party atmosphere for a Friday night rooftop in the heart of LA. It was still fun to do something different and hang out with our group, but unless they upgrade the floor or amp up the energy, it's probably a one-and-done for us. Tips: - Allow extra time for the elevator to the 3rd floor. - $20 parking lot across the street. - 1 Drink included, so grab one and make the most of it!

I found myself so taken with the new building that I ran out of time to see the original building's new exhibit...I guess I'll have to come back ;) With this new addition, I think this place might just have become my single favorite art museum in LA. This museum is impressive, fascinating, and super well curated. I also love how they put on a great event here to show off the new digs and let us LA people in to see it for free! By the way, we loved that strawberry paleta too! A great (and tasty) relief for that hot day. Much appreciated, and can't wait to come see what they do for their next exhibit!

In the (many) years since the last time I was in LA, my list of things to see and do down here has…read moreonly gotten longer and longer. Yet, during that time, checking out LACMA has always managed to stay right near the top, just after eating in KTown. What can I say? I guess I'm just a connoisseur of food and culture...heavy emphasis on the former, far less on the latter. After all, as much as I appreciate museums and art, a big reason for wanting to come here was to also get our prerequisite IG photos of the Urban Lights display like everyone else! Since my gf's friend bought our tickets online for us, I can't really speak to the price or the process. However, what I can say is that buying tickets in advance is highly recommended so that you can lock in your preferred entry time slot, rather than taking a chance on whatever walk up slots are left when you get here. Similarly, their parking lot can fill up quickly, especially on weekends, but there are alternatives nearby. The surrounding streets offer spaces, but most of them seem to have time limits/meters. Otherwise, there are several other parking lots nearby, including a large one a half block away at the Petersen Automotive Museum that we parked at. Now, in all, LACMA is made up of four separate buildings/pavilions filled with exhibits and pieces from a variety of movements, periods, and artists from around the world, whether it be American, European, Latin, Egyptian, Asian, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Abstract, Surrealist, Pop Art, Picasso, Monet, Diego Rivera, Andy Warhol, and so much more. The artwork here also extends beyond just the physical, as there was even a live trio performing with a violin player, a singer, and a bicycle riding performer. I don't know if it's just me, but that felt pretty rare to see. Given how art is largely subjective, everyone will feel differently about LACMA's specific exhibits and pieces, but I think it's objectively safe to say that their overall collection of artwork is rather impressive. With so many different distinct styles curated together, there's so much to see and potentially something that speaks to everyone. What's more, the physical museum itself is great - a little congested in certain areas as guests milled about, but I definitely like how modern it felt and how it stretches over Wilshire (kind of cool to stand there and watch all of the cars passing below). Despite how big and spacious this place is, though, there were times inside the main building/gallery where it felt really hot and stuffy, so a bit more A/C would've been nice. Even though we spent a good chunk of the day wandering through so many of their halls and exhibits, I'd be lying if I said we got to see (and appreciate) everything that LACMA has to offer. My favorites were the pieces by Monet and Picasso, as well as the Pop Art wing with Warhol's pieces. However, I'm still kicking myself for neglecting the outside area and the very thing we came here for - the Urban Light display! Pretty horrendous on my part (I just wanted to see in the car with the A/C on blast), but at least it's accessible 24/7 to the public without needing to buy a ticket, so we can always correct that mistake the next time we're in LA. Which, hopefully, won't take nearly as long again.

I thought it was a timed entry but it is not...or it wasn't when we went. I followed the parking sign on the wall which led me to a lot just a little north of the museum. It was $20 to park there. Had I had more time to plan, I may have parked somewhere else as I felt that was a bit steep. I'm assuming metered parking would be hard to find in that location as it is in the heart of Hollywood. I thought it would be similar to the Museum of Illusions in New York, but rather than a museum feel, this was purely just photo ops. You can rent tripods at the front for $10. They also provide free lockers for your bags and stuff- which I would highly recommend. I didn't take up the offer in the beginning but soon realized that was a better option. I would also like to highly recommend and thank Tim! He showed us the ropes of how to take photos and he took some photos for us. He was friendly, professional and patient with my two young kids. He definitely knows his way around an iPhone camera and showed me some tricks I didn't even know. Tim's photos came out a lot better than mine as you need to find the perfect angle for the pictures to have that illusion effect. The tickets I purchased online also allowed us to go to the giant house next door and the upside down house. Tim came to the rescue again and took some amazing photos for us in the upside down house. It was a fun experience for all of us and I would definitely recommend visiting this location. If you see Tim, ask him for some pointers! Thank you, Tim!

Upon arrival we followed the signs to go see the tar pits. It was hot outside but not too bad as there was a breeze and it was early. The tar pits had information that you could read as you look around. You can check out the dig sites and walk around at the park in the area. In the museum they had all kinds of prehistoric facts and information. Apparently the museum has now closed due to a renovation and won't reopen for awhile. So I'm glad we got to see everything before they shut it down. Overall the La Brea Tar Pits and dig sites are cool to see if you like that kind of thing. There's not much to it but it's informative. Hopefully they will get the museum reopened soon so that people can enjoy that as well.

The amount of "jokes" I heard coming the two employees with long hair, pertaining to the victims was disturbing. Those same employees also felt the need to follow me around for some odd reason which made me very uncomfortable to the point I almost walked out. I respectfully approached one and asked was there a downstairs to which he snapped, "yeah we have a downstairs" in a very dismissive and rude tone. Lol alright buddy, not sure who pissed in his Cheerios or stole the meth he obviously smokes from the looks of (it?) him. Try rehab, friend :) There were also some pretty loud and obnoxious guests, who kept making it hard for some of us to concentrate, and while I understand the museum can't exactly control who they get as a guest, I was hoping at least ONE staff member would tell them to keep the noice down. Nope! Instead they followed the quiet girl around and allowed the hyenas to roam thru the museum making crass jokes. It's funny I just realized I've already written three paragraphs before I actually got to talk about the museum contents so I'll make this short. Blood, guts, porn and more blood. While I did learn some things, I was expecting a lot more for $21 fridgin dollars. Most of the stuff in there could've been found on Reddit. Welp I crossed this off my list and regretfully so.

There is a huge line for the shuttle going down so it might take hours to get back, might be better to hike.

Inside theres a lot if planet science stuff kjnd of like the california museum of science so fit for kids, and outside has quite a few architecture for city views. The planetarium show is sort of like a school story telling with the projector instead of grand graphics, but very cute. Keep in mind they close the tickets some hours before the show and theres a line outside around 30 minutes i think before show time. They only have a few show times so plan accordingly so you arent stuck up there wandering aimlessly. There are also a lot less people than i expected frolicking/picnicking in the grass and moreso tourists walking around, especially crowded inside. The sunset is worth it if you want a clear view!
