Los Angeles Griffith Observatory Guided Tour

Located at the top of Griffith Park, the Griffith Observatory is one of the most recognisable and photographed places in Los Angeles. This tour offers you the opportunity to learn about its history, its architectural secrets and its importance as a centre for scientific dissemination since 1935.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you will explore spaces such as the main Rotunda, with its impressive dome decorated with astronomical murals, the famous Foucault Pendulum, and rooms dedicated to the solar system, historical telescopes and physical phenomena that you can experience for yourself.

During the tour you can also access the outdoor terraces and platforms, from where you will have privileged views of the entire city. On clear days, you can see from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific coast. Your guide will also point out key points in the landscape, including the iconic Hollywood sign.

Beyond its scientific function, the Griffith Observatory is also a pop culture icon, the setting for classic films such as "Rebel Without a Cause". Your guide will tell you curious anecdotes related to its use in film and its influence on the cultural identity of Los Angeles.
