Architecture, great views!
Emily Van NordenDecember 30, 2009
this is a great place to go when you have a craving for some free culture and art. Just pay for parking and take the tram up for amazing views and ancient artifacts!

The space, the view, the art… take any of the tours.
Andrew TsaiOctober 15, 2016
Extremely beautiful center, free for the public but parking costs $15. Bring a camera and food because what they sell is a bit overpriced and only mediocre!

Everything is free and you will love it.

Saturdays off the 405 in the summer are the best! Go early, catch an exhibit beforehand. P.s. free parking after 5 pm.

Great museum and view on L.A. !
Erica SwallowApril 14, 2010
Don't miss this architectural beauty. Take a tour to learn more about how the center was constructed. Marvel at the garden. Scope out the 20th-century paintings.
Chase MatamorozDecember 30, 2012
Come on a day when it's not crowded or the entire museum will smell like armpit. Wish I was exaggerating.
Lynn RoseAugust 6, 2010
Be sure to leave time to absorb the greatest masterpiece and that is...NATURE. Drink in the view and explore the garden walkway. ENJOY!

Parking is $15, but the museum is free. The scenery is beautiful, but it gets hot. Bring some water or visit the Cafe to keep hydrated.

The museum is free EVERY DAY. You only pay for parking. Take a bus, and the entire day at the Getty is free.

Must park in deck and take team. $15 unless you uber it.
Cilt & Co.August 22, 2011
The weekends are predictably crowded and parking can get tricky. Aside from that, the Getty is quite stunning, inside and out.
Hamilton Fortuna BautistaDecember 5, 2019
Anyone else thinks the outside looks way better than the inside?
