Excellent museum and art gallery, should be on any trip to LA. Unfortunately, the tar pits aren't included in your ticket but much of that is open and can be experienced from the outside.

LACMA is about to go through a major upgrade next year, so try and get to there before then or it will take about 4 years before completed.

Lots of cultural history but also excellent exhibits and attractions for all. Metropolis II is well worth viewing in action, but only operates at certain times so make sure to check when you get there and plan around that.
