About La Brea Tar Pits

La Brea Tar Pits Insider Tour offers behind-the-scenes access to active excavation sites where visitors sort real fossils and explore bubbling tar pits up close. While the museum building undergoes a two-year renovation, outdoor areas of Hancock Park remain open for exploration. The educator-led tour runs Fridays at 11 am and Sundays at 11 am and 2:30 pm, providing an exclusive look at how scientists unearth Ice Age discoveries. Visitors can also explore the Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research and learn about recent findings, including a newly discovered Ice Age toad species. The site is located in Los Angeles, California, accessible via LA Metro's D Line at Wilshire/Fairfax Station. Visitors who arrive by Metro and show a TAP card at check-in receive a $2 discount. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website.
