Panoramic views and planetarium shows |
2800 East Observatory Road Griffith Park Los Angeles, CA 90027 +1 213 473 0800 http://www.GriffithObservatory.org/ |
The Observatory is the highlight of Griffith J. Griffith's contribution to Los Angeles. The construction of this art deco observatory was completed in the early 1930s and has since undergone a major renovation which has enameled it as one of Southern California's most popular landmarks. The Observatory's state-of-the-art Samuel Oschin Planetarium blasts off amazing light shows providing a visual feast for the eyes. Notwithstanding the new technology, simply walk outside and the observatory which provides outstanding views of the area during both day and night. Anyone even vaguely interested in astronomy will find the exhibits and planetarium shows fascinating. Griffith Observatory is of interest to film fans because it was the site of the unforgettable climax of "Rebel Without a Cause" starring James Dean. For further information regarding entrance prices and reservations please visit the observatory's website. Review © 2009, Wcities |
