Review:
Griffith Observatory is a beloved Los Angeles icon, a leader in public astronomy, a popular gathering place, and one of the most popular attractions in Southern California. Located in Griffith Park on the slope of Mount Hollywood, the observatory is located at 1,134 feet above sea level and can be seen from many parts of Los Angeles. It is the best spot for taking photos of the world-famous Hollywood Sign and it offers fantastic views of the whole city and its surrounds. Entrance to the observatory is free of charge and it is one of the most popular venues for informal education in the States. Griffith Observatory is an interesting combination of public planetarium, observatory, and exhibition space.
