La Brea Tar Pits and Museum is an active paleontological research site in urban Los Angeles.
These natural tar pits are in Hancock Park, where the tar has been trapping and fossilizing animals since the Ice Age. More than 3.5 million fossils have been found here, ranging from small honeybees to giant mammoths. This includes thousands of dire wolves! And scientists are still uncovering fossils here nearly every day of the year. It’s right next to LACMA too so you can do both together. Admission is $15 USD (closed Tuesdays).

My kids grew up going here! At 5 they were a little frightened by the roaring woolly mammoth in the museum but they loved watching the paleontologists at work! The outdoor pits where they originally found the woolly mammoths stuck in the tar is a lot of fun for kids to run around in and roll down the grassy hills!
