USA Griffith Observatory View of Los Angeles
The Griffith Observatory is a beautiful place and is Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Visitors can look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign. There are endless photography opportunites!
Photography Tips
I recommend going early in the day as there are a lot of visitors. I also suggest going during the winter months and during the week.
Travel Information
There is free parking, however it gets full quickly. Depending on how full it is will depend on how far you walk to get to the observatory. Entry is free and you will have lots of free access for photo opportunities.
