The Getty Villa was so interesting. It's beautiful to see all the Roman/Greek artifiacts, artwork and statues plus the recreations are amazing. My 7 year old loved the children's area. Best I have ever seen at any museum. We spent 3 hours here. You must get your tickets ahead of time. Go on their website. more

Before you go, make sure you register online and print out the ticket. Security won't let you in unless you have ticket. It's free and all you need to do is plan ahead. It's very huge area and it's beautiful. I specially enjoyed the garden. I will go to the other one next time for sure. more

Start with the film explaining the... more

This is quite an extensive museum with several gardens and pools to enjoy as well as dozens of rooms, two levels of them, with thousands of exhibits. Most of the exhibits are antiquities from ancient Greece and Rome: statues, coins, jewelry, busts, vases, pots, more. It is amazing how well kept they are, considering their age. The Getty Villa just... more

Picturesque setting, great artworks, and lively gardens are words that come to mind when I recall this gem along the PCH. The villa contains many Greek/Roman artifacts worth perusing. But, what captivated me more than anything was the serene environment. The villa property is extraordinary and the garden is grand. The best part - it's free! Plenty of benches for... more

My best friend and I (who had who traveled to Italy together a couple years ago) decided to spend an afternoon at the Getty Villa on our day off work for MLK Jr. Day. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision but we were able to find timed tickets available on the same day we wanted to attend. First of all, the... more

The Getty Villa turned out to be the highlight of my recent 4 day vacation to Malibu. The grounds were incredibly beautiful and the staff / tour guides were all very knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight of the tour for me was seeing the ancient sculptures. My best friend and I had intended for this to be a 2 hour... more
