La Brea Tar Pits

It’s the perfect time of year to visit the La Brea Tar Pits! Explore the fossils of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and mammoths from thousand-year-old asphalt deposits, watch scientists prepare newly discovered fossils and see the iconic life-size replicas of extinct mammals in Hancock Park’s Pleistocene Garden. Visitors can even catch a 3D film of mammoths from the Ice Age or see the Ice Age Encounters show with a saber-toothed cat. Visit the La Brea Tar Pits this winter season and be sure to watch out for the City Light Pole Banners GOLD METROPOLITAN MEDIA created and installed near the museum’s entrance.
