the Rubicon Project Reviews

What a great place to spend a day. Free, except parking, easy to get in and out. Bring lunch or stop at the cafe

So much amazing artwork. It was truly an honour to see Van Gogh in person.

Been here a while ago, still good for spending a day here.

Beautiful. I could delete this in my bucket list. Hope to go there again.

One of my favorite places, it's free to visit, though you need to pay a little bit of parking fee, but there is irises!!

one of my favorite place to go with friends. great for pictures, picnik, arts, music etc. $10 for parking, rest is for free. cars with drinks available. Love it!

Wonderful layout. So much to see. Staff is helpful. Outstanding displays

The Getty is placed on top of a mountain overlooking the ocean with a handsomely manicured property with a water feature, several outdoor dining and picnic areas. They offer permanent historical installations while displaying new creations as well. The museum is free and you're shuttled up on a tram which adds to the experience. Good for the everyone especially children and families.

One of the best free museums I ve ever been to! A good mix of classic and modern art. There are free audio guides in the front though they do seem to run out very quickly. Outside of the museum, there are also gardens to walk around. Great place just to hang out!

The Getty would be magnificent without a single painting. The architecture and grounds are worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic! The best museum I have been to in the US and the second best after Lourve in Paris.

There's all kinds of art, galleries and gardens; it's a perfect way to spend the day surrounded by impressive arquitecture, gorgeous pieces of painting or sculpture and even special exhibitions. Highly recommend for leisurely strolling and hanging out

I love art in every form that our mind allows us to perceive and understand.

Loved the Renaissance art.
Great displays.

What a cool attraction and it s free!!!

Beautiful gardens, great architecture, and so much art throughout the different buildings.

Beautiful views of LA.

A great attraction that doesn t cost anything!

Like visiting Tony Stark's Malibu home full of interesting history, artwork and remarkable landscape. The food in the cafeteria exceeded expectations and be sure to bring your walking shoes! Really nice they include an audio tour for free but you have to pay to park.

I did not like it. There were very little funny faces. Not funny, didn't laugh.

I love their vast collection of art and the architecture!

Fabulous architecture, awsome Manet exhibition. Very kind and helpful staff.

A beautiful museum, with an amazing art collection, including Van Gogh's Irises.

This place is a must when visiting L.A, you can enjoy a relaxing day at the Getty watching some amazing art paintings and sculptures.

Great lectures, quality European art and decent dining options. Oh, and it's also free.

Amazing art and amazing people! Great for Family trips and great for groups of friends. Always a learning experience.

The view and the grounds are the best part. Really beautiful place and great to take the family if theyre in town.

Excellent Museum. A great collection of art and furnitures from ancient to Modern age. Van Gogh, Manet, Sisley, Rodin, are part of permanent exhibition

The Getty is awesome. Make sure to get the FREE audio tour. It really adds to the experience. The gardens are beautiful and the views are really cool. I can't wait to go back again, there is so much to see. Very hard to do it all in one day. My suggestion, go early and beat the rush.

Have small kids looking for excitement ? Don't go.
If they are interested in arts, some world history, scripture etc then take them.

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The grounds are spectacular.

Outstanding museum. Loved the exhibits and the setting is just wonderful

Such an amazing place. So much art and too much to see in one trip.

I'll have to come back to experience the whole museum. What I did get to see of it was magnificent! Such a respectful display for what is being exhibited. A person can erase outside interferences and imerce into the surrounding beauty both inside and out

Amazing, and all for the price of parking. Go for the gardens or the architecture, stay for amazing art everywhere.

A gold standard museum for the world. Beautiful grounds, incredible views, well curated collections. A pleasure to go back to over and over again. A must visit.

Nice collection; very informative group tours; and all is free!

Absolutely gorgeous!! I could spend a week here. The artwork is, of course, fantastic, but the views are works of art in themselves. It's free to get in, but parking is $15 (which is a steal, really, all things considered). They do check your bags when you come in. The cafeteria had a million options (my non-vegetarian boyfriend got the Impossible Burger and was overall quite impressed), but I was told that the only safe options I had with my Celiac disease were at the Fiesta Station. The gift shop was cheaper than expected and I ended up leaving with a pretty Van Gogh iris fridge magnet for about $5. Overall, it's like a free Disneyland for the artistically inclined. We're already planning our next visit.

Huge traffic jams in the way in. Not easy to find what to see. Classic art (not my cup of tea)

Pretty nice place to see the city from a different angle. Nice place for couple of photographers or anyone who enjoys art.

The view at the Getty museum is really fantastic! The art collection is also very dedicated. Nice place to hangout while day.

Beautiful architecture, art, and views. Well worth it.

Definitely recommend the Highlight Tour. Our tour guide, Monica, was phenomenal, great at answering our questions and creating a lively discussion!

Beautiful museum with a great collection. Fantastic view of Los Angeles. You can see all the way to the ocean coast line.

The views alone are great, not to mention all of the actual art

Great art, great surroundings, great food, great people-watching spot...and the price is right, just $15 for parking.

Must visit place. Give half day if you plan on visiting the museum. Food at the cafe was good. It is really wonderful for keeping the attraction free to all.

I was underwhelmed with the art exhibition. However the view over downtown LA and the architecture of the building as well as the landscaping made up for it.

Priceless artifacts and paintings beautiful architecture a must-see place if visiting California or even if you live here

Completely worth it for the $15 entrance fee for parking only. We like European art from the 1800's and the one room they had was great. We checked out that room primarily, and did a gentle stroll around the garden and took in the views. The place opens at 10AM on Sunday, but there was already a short line entering the parking lot. By 12 when we left there was a pretty long line (30m wait verbally) for the tram with everyone new taking the long walk up. Show up early -- even earlier than the opening time. You just won't be able to walk into the museum, but everything else is open - garden + sculptures + views.

What a lovely place to spend the day. The only issue is with the parking. They do need to put a better system in place. You can get caught trying to park for 45 minutes.

Usually a new one of a kind exhibit + gallery art and good cafeteria to relax

Beautiful museum, amazing exhibits, and a serene view. This museums is great and a must visit, plus it's free. All you have to do is pay for parking.

November 2016 visit - Our first visit was gorgeous! Garden was open and flowers were blooming.

February 2019 visit - Took the shuttle bus up, then took the tram down. Garden was closed due to no flowers. There are other arts to look at in the museums if interested. Parking free for first hour, $15 fixed price after that.

One of my favorite places in LA. Architecture, view, art, botanical gardens. Parking is easy & cheap.

This museum is a free experience for everyone. I recommend to take the tram and keep an eye out for the Egypt in the classic world exhibit. Parking is 15 dollars (10 if you get there after 3 pm). You can also get to and from there by bus. Take some snacks and drinks with you since you can take all day to get to know the different pavillions. Have a picnic near the central garden. There is a small cafeteria available.

Beautiful architecture, amazing art, wonderful gardens and it's all free. Defiantly worth checking out.

One of the best places in LA. There is a lot to see there, 5 buildings around the central courtyard each 2-3 storey full of Renaissance paintings and there are beautiful gardens located around these buildings. You should probably dedicate an entire day if you want to go there.

If you love art there is plenty here to see. Free admission, just pay for parking. Wait forever for the tram, or get some exercise and walk up the hill.

Huge and amazing museum! Free entrance, the parking is $20 but totally worth it. You can take your own food or buy inside (a bit expensive)

Lovely place, even though we spent almost 45 minuets in the traffic to get in but it was totally worth it.

Been going here since my days at USC in 2003. The best art collection under one roof in southern california, period ! Timken and the SD museum of art come close but this is it ! Need a day to just relax and take it all in, and the views are to die for, great restaurants on premises - overall was a great experience every single time ive been there.

We did not get to spend enough time, only got thru 2 galleries in 3 hours. Plan for all day trip. A wonderful experience

Beautiful architecture and great selection of art in general.

Getty is always nice, parking is $15 after 3. Careful with how big of a knife you bring for your picnic, I had to bring mine back to the car.

I love this place. I remember my old art teacher telling me she use to work here. Ever since then I wanted to go. It's free plus parking is only $10 after 6pm on Saturdays. This is by far the best museum I've been too. Definitely the best on the west coast. The art work is priceless. Expect to be here a 4-5 hours of just exploring. Its huge.

Great place to visit here and there, but not too often. They have some rotating exhibits and some permanent ones. The admission is free, but you pay for parking ($15 or $10 if coming in after 3pm). During weekends, it gets very packed, so you can either wait in line to take the tram up or walk up with provided umbrellas.

We thought the curation was difficult to follow and there was little natural flow in the exhibitions or between the various exhibitions on show. This was a pity as the architecture is unusual as is the garden. It should have been a wonderful experience but we left rather perplexed and disappointed.
