Griffith Observatory

The Observatory (de sterrenwacht) is het hoogtepunt van Griffith J. Griffith's contributie aan Los Angeles. De constructie van deze art deco sterrenwacht was afgerond begin 1930 en sindsdien heeft het een grote renovatie ondergaan die het gemaakt heeft tot een van Zuid Californie's populaire observatiepunten. Het Het state-of-the-art Samuel Ochin Planetarium van The Observatory biedt een beeld dat een lust voor het oog is. Ondanks de nieuwste technologie is het ook de moeite om de buitenkant te bekijken van The Obsertory die tevens een mooi uitzicht biedt, zowel overdag als 's nachts. Iedereen die ook maar een beetje interesse heeft in astronomie zal de exposities en het planetarium fascinerend vinden. De Griffith Sterrenwacht is ook interessant voor film fans omdat dit het decor was tijdens de climax van de film Rebel Without a Cause met James Dean.

Come in and stroll the vast grounds populated with the rich and famous (as well as the infamous) and the beautiful and formidable.
