About La Brea Tar Pits

La Brea Tar Pits invites visitors to explore Ice Age fossils and active excavation sites in Los Angeles, California. While the museum building undergoes a two-year renovation, Hancock Park remains open for outdoor exploration of the bubbling tar pits themselves. The La Brea Tar Pits Insider Tour offers an educator-led, behind-the-scenes experience where visitors sort real fossils and get closer to how excavators unearth the past. The Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research continues paleontological work on-site. Nearby restaurants and food trucks on Wilshire Boulevard provide dining options, or visitors can picnic in Hancock Park. Tickets are sold online through tarpits.org. Visitors arriving by LA Metro's D Line to Wilshire/Fairfax Station receive a two-dollar discount with a TAP card at check-in, as noted on tarpits.org.
