Despite it being in the heart of L.A. traffic flow during operating hours isn't bad. It's a really nice place to go and have a good time. There's a general ticket line that doesn't take too long to get through, there's a fast lane pass but general tickets are the ones I'd go with, it's the same experience just a slower entrance. The 4 stars is because you do leave your shoes no matter what kind, under a bench along with everyone else's shoes. If you have expensive shoes that are very popular, maybe leaving them out isn't for you. They do offer lockers, but they mite be full, just keep that in mind. There is public parking available at a not so bad cost, cash only of course. Plenty restaurants around there.
