Griffith Observatory (Closed Temporarily)

very good view

it's a very good place to see Los Angeles from above.

Check out James Dean!

See the Hollywood sign up close!

Atop the hills that boast the famous Hollywood sign sits the beautiful Griffith Observatory. The view from the walkway around the Griffith, of the valley lit at night, is breath taking. If astronomy makes your heart beat faster then bring your defibulator because the new "show of the stars" is sure to speed up your beat. You can now schedule an appointment to view the nighttime sky through the observatory telescope. It is well worth making an appointment. Don't forget your camera whether you come at night or during the day because the view is one you'll want to record for posterity.

Great location

This is a really wonderful Observatory, we have gone here on many occasions, enjoyed when the weather permits a spectacular view of our great city below.

Great tourist place to visit!

We go to a lot of Observatories around the country and this is one of the best and also has great views of the city. A very scenic drive up to the top. Go early in the morning so there won't be very many people or just before they close.
