The experience

Dinosaurs and the natural wonders of California, at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

The museum’s Dinosaur Hall holds over 300 fossils and 20 towering mounted skeletons, while the African and North American Mammal Halls set dioramas of the world’s wildlife against natural history and conservation context.

It is a straightforward general-admission visit rather than a guided experience — self-paced, and easy to combine with Exposition Park’s other attractions on the same trip.
