Take in the views as well as the fascinating space and science displays as you enjoy a visit to this popular attraction.</p>

<p>The Griffith Observatory is in Griffith Park to the north of Downtown Los Angeles. Sitting on a south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood, you&#39;ll have incredible views out across the City of Angels and of the iconic <a href="https://www.thomascook.com/holidays/usa/california/los-angeles/things-to-do/hollywood-sign">Hollywood sign</a>.</p>

<p>After taking plenty of photos outside, head inside the observatory, which is free to enter but closed on Mondays. As you make your way through the impressive building, you&#39;ll come across lots of great exhibits where you can learn all about astronomy and our universe.</p>

<p>The aim of the observatory is to spark your imagination, so you&#39;ll have plenty of opportunities to see and do your own observing. There are often special events, talks, and things like sunset walks, so check the observatory&#39;s website to see what&#39;s happening while you&#39;re there.</p>

<p>If you can stay at the Griffith Observatory into the evening, the views across LA are incredible when the city&#39;s countless lights twinkle in the night. A peaceful spot that feels like it&#39;s separated from the rest of bustling LA, you&#39;ll head back down Mount Hollywood feeling nice and relaxed.</p>

<p>From the Griffith Observatory, it&#39;s just a short journey to <a href="https://www.thomascook.com/holidays/usa/california/los-angeles/things-to-do/dodger-stadium">Dodger Stadium</a> if you want to watch the city&#39;s baseball team in action. Or, if there&#39;s enough time left in the day, have another fun and educational trip to the California Science Center.</p>
