Ways to visit Griffith Park

Griffith Park is an ideal escape from LA’s bustling city center. Visitors can rent bicycles and tour the park on two wheels, join a guided hike or horseback ride up to the Hollywood sign, or explore a multitude of museums, golf courses, tennis courts, and hiking trails. Budding astronomers can visit the landmark Griffith Observatory, which boasts rooftop telescopes plus the world’s most advanced star projector, while kids love the Los Angeles Zoo and its 250 animal species. Don’t miss the Travel Town Museum, which features dozens of vintage railcars and locomotives; the Museum of the American West, where kids can pan for gold and explore a stagecoach; and the Griffith Park merry-go-round with its carved and colorfully painted horses. If you’re short on time, visit the park on a Los Angeles day tour to also see city highlights such as Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Best of LA, Hollywood, Griffith Park, Santa Monica & Venice Tour from Anaheim
Had a great time. It is a little difficult to hear from the back of the van however, despite the driver using a small microphone. Would recommend sitting at the front of the van otherwise you may need to keep asking the driver to speak up like we did. Unfortunately, we were picked up last and the only seats left were at the back.

Private Tour of Griffith Observatory
Our guide, Esteban was a former Griffith employee and animator for the Planetarium show. His knowledge and passion would be impossible to beat. Learned so much in a short period of time and the time flew by. Highly recommend.

We’re able to go to places where we can’t go by ourselves and enjoyed so much especially my son was so happy to see the arena we’re the LA lakers played as he was a fan of them. And our tour guide was so knowledgeable and funny so sorry I forgot his name. We had our tour last April 22, 2023

Mount Hollywood Hike (Sign, Observatory & Griffith Park)
Damian is a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and his love for the city and its story really comes through. We weren’t sure about doing a walking tour but we were so glad we did. It was a highlight of our time in LA and we learned some really interesting things about the history and development of the area. Will definitely recommend the tour to friends heading to LA.
Pleasant Surprise!

Griffith Observatory Hike: An LA Tour through the Hollywood Hills
As a born and raised Angelino, I have to say that I was amazed by the scenery at this hike! The weather was perfect, the hike itself was not too difficult and Liz was an excellent tour guide. She was super knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Griffith Observatory Hike: An LA Tour through the Hollywood Hills
We were lucky enough to be guided by Katie. Top class, dropped so much knowledge about LA, historical landmarks, secrets and tales! I even boosted to my local friend afterwards and she did not know any of this even though she was born and raised in Manhattan beach.

  • Bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and plenty of water.

How to get to Griffith Park

Griffith Park is located at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, in LA’s Los Feliz neighborhood. Access to the park is easiest by car, and parking is free. For information and maps, stop by the Griffith Park Ranger Station at Crystal Springs Drive. On weekends, holidays, and during summer, the park’s higher elevations can be congested with heavy traffic, so it’s best to use the DASH Observatory Shuttle to access Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign.
