We have taken our three grandsons to Noah's Ark several times. The littles ones REALLY had a good time. There are so many different activities for them to participate in during their visit. We have a new granddaughter "coming up" and will definitely bring her to Noah's Ark!

To be honest, I don't remember my visit here, but I know it's excellent. It must be from all their zillions of billboards. It seems like a quality facility with interesting exhibits.

We love the Skirball! Great art and exhibits! good for birthdays and special outings. Also good for school field trips (kid friendly.) Definitely a place to visit if you are visiting the LA area.

I was invited to see a pre-release movie with a friend who is a member of the Skirball. That started it. There is a café for lunch, or a lunch-counter for outdoor seating, the grounds are spectacular, and the view over the hills lovely. Then there is the shop, and the museum that is very nice. I learned a lot,... More

Very interesting judaic themed museum although there are other exhbits in a beautiful building. Perched over the 405 freeway so you need to know where it is in the Sepulveda Pass.

Our grandchildren have loved their trips to the Skirball, they learn and play and have a great time. The adult museum component is first rate and very educational regarding history relating to Jews in America. Its a worthwhile trip for virtually anyone....

Go with the kids or grandkids that are 8ish and under. Super fun place for them. Older kids might think it's a bit babyish.

Took our toddler up there and she loved the tram ride. Lot's of outdoor space to run around, and beautiful views and gardens to look at. Just make sure that you have parking, as it is limited and if you can't park, you can't go up.
