I went on a Bank Of America Free Weekend. Bring your BOA card and ID and it will be free. Check the BOA website for details. I spent 5 hours here. There is free parking, a reasonable cafe on site and its directly opposite the LA Zoo. Lots of interactive exhibits for younger children. Being an Aussie I loved finding out more about not only the West but about the history of LA and their native people. Exceptional.
After living in the Los Angeles area for a couple of decades now finally made it to this Museum! We came here for a Native American Arts Festival that was being held on the museum grounds. The museum is excellent and has a very good display of Western history! The Native American Arts Festival was also very nice with lots of vendors selling high quality Native American arts and crafts! We are going to have to come back and visit the museum.
We went on the second Tuesday so the visit was free. Parking is free always. There are a lot of activities for younger children. The museum is very cool and the AC is wonderful. There is a small outdoor space which is shaded.
Lovely exhibition on Native American culture. Despite the fact that Native Americans roamed these lands years ago, I generally found it quite hard to find any decent exhibits or Museums to go to in LA and surrounding areas. I spend around an hour in their exhibition and would like to think it reflects some of the older practices. The main message I took away from this exhibit is that humans don't have to destroy the planet, in fact, they have proven methods to vastly increase the productivity of the lands, through traditional native practices... Fire isn't all bad!
Beautiful museum! There is a monthly free admission day. In the downstairs level there is a fun play space for kids. My 5 year old got a little bored, but I thought the exhibits were wonderful. There is a cafe onsite with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is ample and free.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Can't believe that people don't usually visit this place so fun and I learned a lot about what Californians are where we come from and potentially even where we're going. It talks about the LA River and its history as well as people that live here thousands of years ago and the Spanish taking over as well as did you know the family story with the sepulveda boulevard? There's tons to know and a lot of cool guns with history. Come time-travel land make it a nice picnic Day old Western style.
Went for the Street food cinema and it was so much fun. All you have to do is buy your tickets, and you can bring chairs, blankets, food and drinks! They do have food trucks and free sample non alcoholic drinks around the venue. JayZ’s tacos Carné Asada burrito was so delicious. Parking is free and you can park close just come when the doors open! They have chair rentals for $10.
A fantastic museum and well worth visiting. I came for their Dress Codes exhibition but ended up spending half the day there also exploring the other galleries which I hadn’t planned. Not only did the artwork draw me in but the exhibition design and interpretive text is eye-catching and well-designed. I look forward to coming back in the future and will def be recommending this to other museum goers when they’re in the area.
Interesting, but I was expecting more cowboys and less Indians. Fairly small and more expensive than expected $16 for adults.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
A must have spot for a weekend trip with kids or friends. There are a few floors with exhibits, firearms of the west collection is quite extensive and the stories and knowledge is abundant on each firearm, you can sit on a plastic horse, but in a real western saddle and make pictures and feel how the cowboys felt back in the day, they have a fully restored 1948 Indian road master motorcycle, it's a gem. There is lots of art of local artists depicting time pieces from the local history, mythology and notable events.
