Many a saber-toothed tiger, dire wolf, mammoth, and ground sloth had the misfortune of “discovering” the La Brea Tar Pits some 40,000 years ago. Excavation on the ice age fossil site—formerly the city’s natural history museum—began in 1915 and continues to this day right in the heart of Los Angeles.

The 3D movie gave a good overview what led to the discoveries that were made in the area. Pre-sale of the tickets helped us skip the lines to get in.

A unique opportunity to learn about our La Brea Tar Pits and the Ice Age Animals. Highly recommend the Excavation Tour (included in cost of admission).
