Standing opposite the "HOLLYWOOD" sign, Griffith Observatory is a landmark of Los Angeles and where many famous films and TV shows have been filmed. Come at sunset and evening to watch the stunning LA sunset, city lights and the starry sky. Astronomical exhibitions are display in lively fashion in the Observatory's halls, where the ceiling is hanged with models of the eight planets of the solar system and decorated with exquisite murals. The dome theater here is modeled on the sky canopy. Lying on the seat and watching films about the evolution of celestial bodies, the vast universe seems to be within reach.

Griffith Observatory is located at 2800 E Observatory Rd., Los Angeles, California 90027United States.It is an Art Deco stargazing spot atop Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park. For those astronomy enthusiasts or who are interested in stargazing is one of the best spot. The Griffith Observatory is one of the most visited observatories in the world with various reasons. Beside arts and stargazing, the view of Hollywood sign from here with the photogenic views is where many visitors as well. Of course, Griffith Observatory's main draw, though the free entry was certainly a bonus. A fee of between $6 and $10 to see the planetarium shows is worth it if you happen to be there too.
The Greifs Observatory, located on the top of the hill, is one of the best places to take a photo with it. The nearly 100-year-old Observatory displays astronomical knowledge of the eight planets and cosmic objects. The top ball screen theater is built to mimic the sky, and tourists lean on their seats to enjoy 360° films about the evolution of the celestial body. The tourists seem to be in the vast universe, and the naked eye technology makes the universe close at hand and within reach. The top terrace can also see the entire city of Los Angeles, orderly streets, neat city buildings and urban skyscrapers can be seen at a glance. At sunset, you can see the red sun falling into the sea on the platform. The stargazing platform with giant telescopes is free to the public at night, and visitors can clearly see the stars and even the surface outline of the moon, and experience the magic of the astronomical world. Super recommended!
Griffith Observatory is on the mountain, free parking, free visit, but parking spaces are difficult to find at peak hours. The road up the mountain was very blocked, and it was difficult to move forward. I finally arrived at the observatory parking lot. I waited for a while before finally finding a parking space. The day we went, 10PM closed, and we 9:30PM were still looking for a parking space, so that we went to the observatory and closed the museum before seeing a few exhibitions. However, in addition to the observatory, the night view of Los Angeles is also very beautiful, and it is not blocked by driving. You can see the Hollywood sign during the day.
