About this experience
Opened in 1913, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is the largest natural history museum in the western United States. Its collection runs to more than 35 million pieces, covering anthropology, botany, entomology, paleontology, mineralogy and ornithology among other fields, so there's a lot of ground to cover across a single visit.
The museum's approach centers on lifelike taxidermy and reconstructed ecological environments, using lighting and theatrical staging to place you inside different historical periods and habitats rather than just showing specimens behind glass. The dinosaur exhibition hall is the main draw, holding more than 300 fossils and 20 dinosaur skeleton specimens, including a Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Interactive exhibits throughout the hall add context to the fossils on display.
This ticket gets you into one of Los Angeles's longest-standing museums, located near Exposition Park. Whether you're drawn to the paleontology wing or the wider natural history collections, the museum is set up for a self-paced wander through millions of years of natural history in the middle of the city.
What to expect
Once inside, you'll move through galleries organized by subject, from anthropology and botany to mineralogy and marine life, each using taxidermy and staged environments to recreate specific habitats and time periods rather than simple static displays. Lighting and theatrical elements are used throughout to make the transitions between ecosystems feel immersive.
The centerpiece of the visit is the dinosaur exhibition hall, where more than 300 fossils and 20 mounted dinosaur skeletons are on show, including a Triceratops, Stegosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Interactive exhibits are placed alongside the fossils, giving you a chance to engage directly with the paleontology on display. A full visit covering the main halls typically takes a few hours, with the pace entirely up to you.
Things to note
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the museum's collections are spread across multiple halls and floors
- Set aside at least two to three hours to see the dinosaur hall and main permanent exhibits
- Check the museum's specific closure dates before visiting, as it closes on select days throughout the year
- Arrive early in the day to avoid the busiest crowds, particularly around the dinosaur hall
- Bring a light jacket, as exhibit halls with taxidermy and fossil displays are often kept cool
- Photography is a good idea, so charge your phone or camera before you arrive
