Fun Facts

The museum is located at the La Brea Tar Pits, where over 3.5 million fossils have been discovered, including mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and dire wolves.

The tar pits naturally preserve bones, allowing scientists to study them in remarkable detail, providing insights into the prehistoric ecosystem of Los Angeles.

Visitors can observe paleontologists at work, excavating fossils from the tar pits in real-time, making it a dynamic learning experience.

The museum not only displays fossils but also conducts ongoing research and educational programs to further understand the Ice Age and its species.

It is located within Hancock Park, which also houses the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offering a rich cultural experience in one area.
