Great space for families with young children - My family and I went to the museum for a few hours during a visit to LA. The kids loved all the exhibits with the living creatures which can be found around CA. There was definitely plenty to see and do and we weren’t able to do it all. We will have to come back on another trip to LA.

Worth coming to see it once. - I enjoyed the dinosaurs, mammals, and gem displays. I found them informative and laid out well. Also went to the rose garden (unrelated to the museum) outside on the backside of the museum. I was out of town and had never been here. While I am glad I chose to go here, I would probably not come again because I am just like that..I don't typically repeat visiting places. Please go though if you have never been!

Great Museum - One of the best museums I have ever visited. The exhibitions are very exciting, and the exhibits are fantastic. Dinosaur fans will definitely have fun with the large exhibition. The outdoor area is also beautifully designed. What I especially liked were the friendly staff, who provide useful information during the visit and with whom you can have great conversations.

Gorgeous place - Fantastic museum, some old areas and new. The building itself is beautiful. Great collection of dinosaur bones! If you are there for the Butterfly exhibit well worth it!

Didn't tell us there was a special event and the museum was closed; wasted our money - We booked tickets for this day; it said they were open until 5, but when we got there, they said they had closed for a special event at 2. So we wasted money to go to the museum and almost $100 in cab fare.
