Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County highlights

While there are millions of specimens and artefacts on display here, you'll find a few exhibits that tend to stand out. The dinosaur fossil displays, such as the triceratops, are particularly popular, but you'll also find one of the world's largest marine-mammal remnant collections.

The rotating exhibits hosted here always have something special to offer whether they're covering ancient animals or ancient humans. Some of the most popular temporary exhibits from years past have included one focused on mummies and another showcasing the soaring pterosaurs. You'll also find a butterfly pavilion here during the spring and summer.

Good to know when visiting the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County

This museum charges a modest fee for entrance, and some of the temporary exhibits, depending on their nature, may require additional fees. If you're looking to save as much as possible, try to avoid driving. Both the on-site parking and nearby state-run lots will run you about $12.
