Big Things Are Bubbling Up! The Museum at La Brea Tar Pits is Temporarily Closed for Renovation
Pardon our dust! Our museum building is currently closed to the public as we undergo an exciting two-year reimagining. While the indoor galleries are transforming, our science continues, including at the Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research and beyond.
Step Outside into the Ice Age
Areas of Hancock Park and our active outdoor excavation sites remain accessible. To get closer to the science, book a spot on our premium, educator-led La Brea Tar Pits Insider Tour for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how our excavators are unearthing the past.

You can still grab your favorite saber-toothed cat plushies, apparel, and gifts! Shop La Brea Tar Pits merchandise anytime at our online store.
