I always recommend that visitors to LA see this art deco building with its three domes and the best view of LA, as well as offering a planetarium show and telescopes that public may view. 10-10 Sat Sun and Tue to Fri 12-10
Griffith Park, Shuttle bus on Sat and Sun from Red line subway station at Vermont and Sunset griffithobservatory.org +1 213.473.0800
Stunning views, smog-permitting, of LA from this iconic observatory that has featured in many a film. You're really out in the woods on the drive to Mt Wilson, which is refreshing after hectic L.A. The mountain is also a hotspot for paragliders.
19 miles (approx 45 min. driving time) from the Angeles Crest Highway exit from the I-210 freeway in La Canada-Flintridge. Turn north toward the mountains and follow Angeles Crest Highway (California Route 2) for about 14 miles.
