Tommy HilfigerFebruary 13, 2013"Overlooking the 405 Freeway, the Getty Museum is an oasis tucked away in the rolling Brentwood hills" -TH
Andrew TsaiOctober 15, 2016Extremely beautiful center, free for the public but parking costs $15. Bring a camera and food because what they sell is a bit overpriced and only mediocre!
ArthurJanuary 8, 2011Definitely take a nice camera, you will be taking lot's of pictures and do make sure to go on a warm day as its pretty chilly up there.
Ellen LumbardJanuary 31, 2012Go to the far left corner past the fountain and go up those stairs. The most amazing view of the city!
Gail HJuly 10, 2011Saturdays off the 405 in the summer are the best! Go early, catch an exhibit beforehand. P.s. free parking after 5 pm.- Emma SAugust 3, 2011The architecture tour was fun, amazing, and completely interesting! I learned so many cool facts!
Armando DavidDecember 25, 2014enjoy holiday at this museum, best experience here when visit at LA Read more
Chase MatamorozDecember 30, 2012Come on a day when it's not crowded or the entire museum will smell like armpit. Wish I was exaggerating.
During the winter months you can see the most magnificent sunsets at closing time
Erica SwallowApril 14, 2010Don't miss this architectural beauty. Take a tour to learn more about how the center was constructed. Marvel at the garden. Scope out the 20th-century paintings.
Lynn RoseAugust 6, 2010Be sure to leave time to absorb the greatest masterpiece and that is...NATURE. Drink in the view and explore the garden walkway. ENJOY!
Wenzao LiJune 3, 2016Be sure to arrive a little before opening. The line for the train is very long.
ᴡ NguyenAugust 23, 2011Parking is $15, but the museum is free. The scenery is beautiful, but it gets hot. Bring some water or visit the Cafe to keep hydrated.
The store in the entrance hall is under construction. It relocated to the west pavilion plaza level. So now the west pavilion has a total of 3 shops.
The museum is free EVERY DAY. You only pay for parking. Take a bus, and the entire day at the Getty is free.
Cilt & Co.August 22, 2011The weekends are predictably crowded and parking can get tricky. Aside from that, the Getty is quite stunning, inside and out.
Charming white masterpiece hitting straight your soul. A place to be at least twice in a lifetime.
