La Brea Tar Pits is a uniquely L.A. experience that blends science, surprise, and discovery. For nearly a century, this site in the heart of Los Angeles, in Hancock Park, has fascinated visitors from around the world as the world’s only active Ice Age fossil sites where discoveries are still made daily. Most of these finds are cared for inside the Museum, from towering mammoths and giant ground sloths to millions of tiny microfossils. Nearly 50 years after the museum opened, we’re running out of room!Beginning July 7, the Museum at La Brea Tar Pits will close its doors for a two-year renovation project that will increase the spaces to house its more than two million specimens. In addition to developing a more sustainable infrastructure and improving community access to these incomparable collections, the reimagined spaces will bring even greater awareness to how the Ice Age past informs how we care for our planet today.
We invite you to experience La Brea Tar Pits inside and outside once more before July 7 and make some incredible memories before the makeover.
