We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum located in the city of Los Angeles, is a unique geological phenomenon that offers visitors a glimpse into the prehistoric past. The tar pits have preserved fossils from as far back as 38,000 years ago, providing insight into what life was like during the last ice age. Visitors to this historical landmark can explore exhibits about flora and fauna that once lived near the tar pits and see some of these ancient remains up close. The museum also houses an impressive collection of Ice Age artifacts from both mammals and birds found at excavation sites surrounded by gardens that represent what the area looked like centuries ago. Highlights of visiting include seeing replicas of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, mammoths, and sloths while discovering more about California’s early environment.
