AAA Editor Notes
Griffith Observatory is on the southern slope of Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park at 2800 E. Observatory Rd. Facilities include state-of-the-art projection technology in the 290-seat Samuel Oschin Planetarium, a 190-seat multimedia theater and astronomical exhibit galleries as well as classics such as the Hugo Ballin murals, Tesla coil and Foucault pendulum. The grounds provide views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood sign.

The Gunther Depths of Space exhibit hall features a large, eye-catching photomural of galaxies in deep space as well as detailed models of planets and an array of interactive displays. According to Director Edwin C. Krupp, the 1935 facility has “…a theatrical as well as an intellectual impact” as it shifts the perspective of visitors away from their Earth-centric view of the universe.

Food is available.
