This museum is a gem with various interesting exhibits, but it is kinda short - you can cover it in a hour or so. I've heard that most of the exhibits were closed that day, which makes the admission ticket a bit "expensive." Anyway, it was actually a good, world class modern art museum. My teens were very interested in the first hour but then they got bored. As a tip, you should buy your tickets on line to by pass the long lines. We actually bough the tickets as soon as we arrived at the site, and went straight to the will call. Wonder why those lining up to purchase tickets didn't do the same. There is also parking underground. You should probably wait until dark to see the lights. I would come here when all the renovations are done, and the new museum of motion pictures is open to the public…

You’ll not only enjoy Urban Light but you will find the entire block a marvel to look at. The Tar Pits are less than a block away. Don’t forget to pack a lunch as the grounds at the Tar Pit is wonderful for an impromptu picnic. So many things to get into. Definitely a place you’ll want to return to.…

Super fun place to explore and take cute pictures. Very crowded. There is underground parking for $20 an hour. The urban lights itself are free to explore. There’s lots of street food for sale all around.

Very busy place from morning till very late at night, so many photoshoots happening all over the place specially the light post in the entrance, we actually went there twice to capture both morning and night time. Just be mindful on the others taking picture because it is always jam-packed, tripods are not allowed inside the area but allowed in the pathway outside.…

We visited LACMA and on arrival as we paid for tickets were told that some pavilions were closed. Ok this is a world class museum there will be plenty to see...uh wrong. Artwork is sparse and if you dont know as we didn't, if artwork is on loan there is no Photography allowed, if artwork is owned, like at the Getty Center, you can take pictures, no flash of course. We were rudely told off for everything like having a bag, taking a photo, talking, looking up close, etc etc to the point we were done! A complete waste of time and money. We love, really love, art galleries and have been to some amazing ones but this was completely underwhelming. The outside of LACMA has the very instagrammed light installation and that was fun but being told off every 5 mins inside made us wish we had stayed outside in the sun! There are better places to see art in LA, go to The Broad and The Getty Center instead.…
