At the turn of the 20th century, Griffith J. Griffith was the benefactor for the Griffith Observatory and for Griffith Park, he valued the idea of a “public observatory”. In 2020, the Observatory celebrated its 85th anniversary.

One of the best views of Los Angeles. You can see the entire LA Basin, the Hollywood sign behind you and all the way to the ocean with Catalina Island. Most popular at sunset, and for good reason!

The observatory itself is fantastic and I'd highly recommend checking out one of their planetarium shows!

Due to current staff shortages at the time of writing this, the observatory is only open Fri-Sun and the gift shop/cafe close a little earlier than usual at 6pm instead of 10pm like the rest of the observatory.
