What to expect

Make your way to the stars and explore the universe at the Griffith Observatory guided by an in-app self-guided audio tour! Facing Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park, this snow-white observatory designed in the Greek style is one of the most popular attractions in Southern California.

The tour starts at the monument outside the Observatory and tells you the stories of the six greatest astronomers in history. Continue your trip at the Keck Central Rotunda where you can marvel at Hugo Ballin Murals and learn how science and mythology are related. Then, you will look through the telescope to see the Sun and learn about the solar system. Next, visit the Gunther Depths of Space and see the largest astronomical image of the night sky with its spectacular galaxies and nebula. Hear about landing on the Moon, meteors, and comets in the Edge of Space exhibition.

Learn about the most complicated astronomical instruments in the Wilder Hall of the Eye. Finish the tour at the huge terrace with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and the famous Hollywood sign. At night, the legendary 12-inch Zeiss start projector is available to have a close-up of the planets and the stars.
