Griffith Park is great as far as I am concerned. There is so much to see and do here. If nothing else it's a great place to unwind and have a family picnic and enjoy great views of LA. The only downside I see is that there can be a lot of graffiti in certain areas. more

If you spend any amount of time in L.A., you need to visit Griffith Park. It is probably to Los Angeles what Central Park is to New York City. I have been there at least 100 times or more, over a good 15 or more years. One thing you can say about it is that you will never have trouble... more

We would like to one day rent some bikes and... more

Griffith Park is not only the largest municipal park, but it has alot of fun activities, too. The Observatory is being renovated right now to a state-of-the-art complex, but the lookout point from there is great. Also, there is the zoo, Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, pony & wagon rides for the kids, a great miniature train ride, a train... more

It is well worth making time to visit Griffith Park for the views of L.A. We went to the Observatory and spent at least an hour going through the exhibits. As well as a fantastic view of the city ( smoggy but good) you can also see the HOLLYWOOD sign ~ yiihaa. more
