Perched high above the city near the Hollywood sign, the Griffith Observatory offers a mind-expanding window on the universe and plenty of intergalactic fun. On a clear day, you cansee beyond the fog and haze to glimpse stars, moon craters, Jupiter’s satellites and more.With its three copper-cladded domes, this stimulating shrine to science has been a famous LA landmark since 1935. Movie buffs may recognise it from numerous sci-fi flicks, including *The Terminator*, and the 1955 James Dean film *Rebel Without a Cause*. The observatory hasn’t just played a significant role in Hollywood history, it’s also made a major contribution to space exploration the Apollo astronauts learned about celestial navigation within its walls.In addition to exhibition halls with more than 60 space-related displays, the observatory has a 300-seat planetarium beneath the central dome and a multimedia theatre for education programmes and activities, the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon.Scan the stars when the skies are clear with the Zeiss refracting telescope, solar telescopes and other instruments available for public use. Time your visit to coincide with a free monthly star party so you can peer at the moon, visible planets and other objects in the solar system through a variety of telescopes.When you’re ready to come back down to Earth, take some time out in the grounds around the observatory for more awesome views. From your vantage point on the south slope of Mount Hollywood, you’ll see the LA basin laid out before you. At night, with the city lights sparkling below, the spectacle is simply stunning.Griffith Observatory is about eight miles (13 kilometres) north of downtown. It is open five days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday, but is closed on most holidays. Admission to the observatory and the surrounding grounds is free. ## Plan a trip to see Griffith Observatory Price found within the past 48 hours.

(209 reviews) I didn't realize this property has a virtual front desk. It worked fine. There was a 2 min wait when I arrived but it was easy to do (just like an airline kiosk but it's a video call with a real agent). The motel is VERY nice. It's a 10 or so unit motor court with very newly redone units. Nicely furnished and appointed. My only confusion was the amenity kits at the lobby are extras. I wasn't sure if I needed to grab what I needed for my stay (You don't). I would have liked 2 things different for my room. The window shutter didn't close fully and there was a lot of light leak from the outside. And the bedside lamps are a glass shade so they have pretty direct light. That's a style point. I would absolutely stay here again. It's super convenient and I am glad to know about it.
