I've lived in LA for a little over 6 years now and my parents visit me a couple times a year. I've been running out of things to do with them so I decided to book tickets here on their most recent trip, even though I had never been myself. The venue is just gorgeous and the exhibits are so diverse. My parents haven't been to many art museums in general so they were very excited that they got to see pieces by Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and Rembrandt for the first time. Also, the furniture and art collections from Versailles were amazing. My parents were so thrilled to be in the same room as pieces that held the same space as historical figures such as Louis XIV, Marie Antionette, and Louis XVI. We got to see way more than any of us expected and spent the whole day here. They couldn't get over the fact it was FREE!

A unique museum that certainly creates a "wow factor" by combining architecture, gardens and vistas. It has a collection that is focused on one man's art interests. An excellent collection that also represents what was considered art at a specific time. The collection demonstrates that Paul Getty certainly had taste and money, but clearly that is not everything.

I enjoyed it very much. the building and garden and master prices that are collected there all together are very unique. A different museum in LA not in downtown but in a top of a hill. Admission is free and you just pay for parking. At least you need half a day to be satisfied. There are free tours inside. You can get the time table and enjoy professional explanation of guides. Spend a few minutes for garden .there are some cafe there. Sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in heart of the museum. Biography and photos of Mr Getty were very attractive for me . When we visited the museum, reservation via website was needed . Check it before going there.

The Getty Center is a fantastic spot for everyone! With its mix of art, cool buildings, and beautiful gardens, it's a total cultural adventure. Whether you're into art or just want a chill place with awesome views, The Getty Center has got you covered. It's a must-visit – you won't be disappointed!

My friend and I went here for a few hours. We did both the architecture tour and the garden tour. We had Steve as a guide for both tours and they were very informative. The gardens are so beautiful. We also had a nice meal at the restaurant. And the museum is free! Highly recommend

All I can say is: Oh, Wow!!! The Getty Center exceeded our expectations in every way. We spent between 3 and 4 hours there exploring the magnificent gardens, architecture and the incredible exhibits. This is most definitely a "Bucket List" item for any trip to LA.

The Getty Center is always a great place to visit. It’s huge. It’s free (except for parking). It’s educational. And it offers great views of Los Angeles. Makes for a nice day trip if you’re visiting LA. There are, however, much more interesting places to visit if you like art and history, such as the Getty Villa and Huntington Library.

Visited the Getty on a tour that included the Rose Bowl Parade. We had about 1 1/2 hrs to spend, which was not truly enough time. The Getty has lots to see. The gardens are beautiful. The sun was out the day we were there. Many people were enjoying spending the day outside. I found the buildings rather confusing. I wanted to see one particular display about J Paul Getty, but one of the staff send me to see something else. I also noticed the staff in the gardens were a bit harsh about staying on the paths. I'll admit the paths were a little misleading as to where they went. Good view of the area. There is a tram from the entrance to the actual center. We were able to take the tram to the center- good as was an steep uphill walk. We did walk down the path as the wait for the tram was too long. The walk was about .9 mile. There were many famous paintings sin the gallery.

An excellent rang of art on display. The museum is free to get into, but you do have to book a time slot to enter. Even then, be prepared for a wait to enter. Take your own food. The prices in the cafe were ridiculously high.

Really amazing place! An absolute must-visit destination for art lovers. Remember to allow plenty of time. Two hours was far too little. But we enjoyed the whole time! A real experience! Reservation in advance is mandatory. Parking for a fee, but you can also park at the Getty Villa for the same fee same day. Free guided tours available, worth taking advantage of. We went on a short tour and heard some interesting things.
