Beautiful architecture. Interesting permanent exhibits. Enjoyed to Hockney birthday exhibit.
Unimpressed with the garden which smelled strongly of garlic from an overuse of Society Garlic, which, if brushed against produces an overwhelming bad smell. Uninviting.
Great location, beautiful artwork, free entrance fee. One of the best in the US.
Free, just pay for parking. Amazing architecture. Gardens are sublime with gorgeous views of Santa Monica and LA. Art collection great. Had some Van Gogh too. Teams ride takes to the top. Parking garage is usually full. Take Uber or public transport. Loved it.
It's magnificent... & surprisingly no admission charge, only a U$15 parking!
The view from any table was amazing. Service was polite and discreet. There was a short wait between courses. The cob salad was amazing.
If you are fans of art this is a must place to visit. You can walk by foot from the parking slot to the entrance it is about 10 min. walk, and that way you can enjoy the view. The place is huge and you can spend at least 2-3 hours. The cafeteria on the lowest level is excellent.
We loved the Getty, the tram ride did make us sensitive to motion sickness feel ill, but other than that amazing expirence
Very good museum to visit if you are in la. The arts are amazing and you can see everything including the paintings and other pieces of art.
Beautiful the sight is amazing and the sunset is fantastic
Gorgeous views and diverse art selections. Staff are friendly. Be prepared for full parking lots on peak days.
Hard to find anything else like it. A full museum located in the hills of northern los angeles, with hundreds of pieces of artistic and historical importance for free to everyone who wishes to enter. Parking is 15 dollars, but you could just catch an uber instead. The food and drinks are decent but priced like an airport, which is hard to complain about since the museum is free.
One of the few free museums in America, with stunning architecture and gardens, great views of LA, and some of the best art you can find in any museum. If you go, there is a parking garage on site ($20 cost when you leave), but get there early. I got there right before opening on a Saturday, and got in quickly to park, but if you go later the line to get in the garage backs up. You can take a tram up for the museum or walk up. Keep in mind you do have to clear security, so don t bring giant bags or you ll have to check them. Walk around and enjoy the gardens and buildings and views just as much as the art. Lots of great food and coffee shops as well. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here to soak in all that is available. This is definitely an LA must-see for locals and visitors.
A lovely place to take the family great education, fine arts and antiques. Where comfortable shoes and clothing. A lot of walking.
Love it. I think it's one of the most valuable buildings in California.
I love the Getty! My boyfriend and I really enjoy walking in the garden after we see the amazing art collection. The setting is spectacular. Getting there in LA traffic is not easy though. It's a great visit and a must.
Great architecture, and museum. Wonderful views of LA
If you live in the LA area and havent been here you are missing out. Great pieces of art and every month there's something new and it's free (parking is $20). Great place to learn something and take a date or children. The views are spectacular except for the smog and the garden is a must see.
Fantastic museum. The kids favorite part was the tram ride from the parking garage up the hill to the museum.
One of my favourite places in Los Angeles. Enjoy the great views over the city and a fantastic atmosphere.
Definitely worth checking out. Watch the movie about Getty before seeing the museum. It will change how you view it.
Wow! An absolutely amazing place to visit. I didn't come to see any exhibits but to enjoy the fantastic architecture, the immaculate grounds and the stunning views of LA that you can get from here. I took loads of photos and absolutely delighted to have been here.
Awesome place to visit. You could easily spend a couple of days exploring there
Absolutely stunning. Disneyland style crowds. Great views, art, and landscaping.
awesome place to visit, nice for kids, babies and great museum too
One of the most peaceful places in town. Lots of beautiful artwork and scenery. This place is a must visit in LA
Very beautiful and clean museum with an extension collection of historical and modern art with a decent collection on photography. The grounds and garden are beautiful to walk around!
Is very nice place to observe the antique staff and Lerner about it
This is an excellent museum and the works of art they have a very nice and just look amazing. It's also a plus that there's no admission but you only pay for parking which I really a great deal if you come with a bunch of people. The staff is very helpful with pointing you into direction of certain areas you might be wanted to go. Be careful when looking at some of the work as some art pieces you need to say arms length aways, which is totally fine.
Superb French art collection. Go there and enjoy the view on LA.
Well organized for huge numbers if people. Nice exhibits, beautiful museum
Great day at the Getty.
We arrived at 10:15am on a Tuesday and waited in zero lines.
We had a packed lunch, picnic style, on the grass while there was still shade.
We left by 1:45pm and the lines were insane and people were eating in the blazing Southern California sun.
The Book of Beasts was very interesting!
Don't forget to play the musical stones.
Nice family outing. Went early as to avoid over crowding.
Huge museum with great scenery and lots to check out. Highly recommend checking this place out, especially if you re new or visiting.
We didn't have the time to look at every piece of art the Getty has to offer, but the architecture is amazing and so are the views! Highly recommend as it is free except for parking.
The only peaceful spot in L.A.!
Plus you get to enjoy beautiful artwork, a lovely garden, and nice views - once the smog from the city clears.
That being said the food is expensive (compared to L.A. street food) and parking is not the cheapest in town.
The best thing to do is to grab a bus, take a picnic basket, and plan to spent the day there.
Walk the garden in the A.M., visit the various indoor galleries around noon, and end your day looking East upon the city with the sun behind your back.
Enjoy! I know I do, no matter how many times I go.
The Getty has a nice big parking lot, to which you are directed upon arrival by car. Parking is $15, but is discounted to $10 after 3pm. The museum is otherwise free to the public. You then board a little tram that takes you up the hill to the museum itself. The museum is nestled high above much of LA, so you can enjoy some really beautiful views of the surrounding area. That and the architecture of the museum were probably my favorite parts of the visit. Overall, the collection itself did not grab me personally as much as the material in LACMA for example, and I found the display of the art a bit fragmented (across multiple pavilions) and haphazard, which is a pity. The place can also get a bit overrun. Nevertheless, clearly a must-visit location in LA.
Beautiful art and a fun train ride to the museum. I saw some deer walking around. The view here is similar to the observatory and 100% worth it.
I love this place. I can't believe there's no charge for admittance. Sometimes I just want to go there to enjoy the view and those exquisite gardens.
An awesome museum. Really awesome architecture, design philosophies, I especially appreciated all the small hallways and more quiet places that you can escape to
I hope they open soon because this place is one of my favorite museums to go to!! I miss coming here grabbing some fresh air and Always in tip top shape. The grass is greener her folks!!
Some of the stuff is nice but this place is a giant waste of resources and space while serving as a reminder of the extreme opulence of the neighbouring area(s)
Beautiful Garden and Beautiful artifacts at the Getty's. Need an entire day to look at everything.
Amazing architecture and absolutely worth seeing when you're in LA. The views are extraordinary. If you are considering going to the Getty make sure to come when it opens. Even then parking in the garage was hard. Parking per car is 20$ but the museum is free. There is a train up the the buildings though the line is always long. I suggest the walk up the hill which they offer. On the way down the train is not busy at all. Bring good walking shoes and have a good trip!
Free parking is 20 dollars. Great people, friendly, very interesting place.
The Getty was an awesome experience. The art, sculptures, & exhibits are great pieces of history. To top it off, Paul Getty opened this freely for the world to enjoy. Definitely a great place to visit.
This is my favorite place in the world. I always love being here. Their permanent and temporary exhibits are impressive, well presented, and interesting. This environment is welcoming to all ages.
Excellent location take you your family and friends learn about the world
Amazing, as always. Find the doctor of linguistics.
An absolutely beautiful museum. The art was amazing, the buildings ware clean and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place, you won't regret it!
A very cumbersome way to get to the museum. Parking, screening, and then the shuttle ride. But the museum itself is totally worth it. Easy to spend three hours walking from building and covering both floors. Not very kid friendly though. If you have the time, go the restaurant and skip the Cafe's.
Amazing architecture, great views of LA. Amazing artwork located at this museum. Hours can be spent here appreciating the arts and the view.
Free public museum with an awesome tram ride, definitely recommend visiting now to see the GORGEOUS Manet exhibit.
Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, overall such an amazing place and I would love to go there again
Awesome architecture, beautiful art pieces! Regretted only spending small amount of time here!
This is a nice museum with lots of art collection. It is very relaxing to walk around.
Great for families, dates and a change of scenery for work meetings (free WiFi). The only cost is $15 parking ($10 after 3pm). They have exhibits for all tastes as well as fun events. Took our kids to the jazz in the garden events this summer and they loved it!
Beautiful museum with great artwork and the outside is just as nice!
The venue is very beautiful, well preserved and the building is lovely. You can admire the many views from the terrace of the building, especially if it is a sunny sunny day. We took part in a free tour, very interesting, not too long and boring. After that, we explore ourselves. At lunch time, we have a little snack outside and some coffee. The price is very high but not very outrageous, and the choice is also very good. PB&J sandwiches are very cheap, plus bananas, which make healthy, cheap little lunches. In hindsight, we can bring a picnic, and the lawn and grass are very attractive. The staff is very friendly and many volunteers. The bright architecture gives a modern and cheerful feel. There are plenty of water dispensers and the washrooms are modern and clean. After that, we drove to Hollywood's Avenue of Stars, it was not too far away, it was a wonderful day trip.
5 stars, everyone has a thumbs up for Getty!
Did a Watson Adventures scavenger hunt herr. It was great! The museum is amazing.
Always a great experience for us and our kid. He was a bit too young to appreciate the art but the architecture and garden was nice, everyone enjoyed the visit
Beautiful museum filled with beautiful art, and with a beautiful view. Could've spent many more hours there.
Beautiful views, architecture, and art. You can spend the entire day here. Take advantage of the artist demo talks. We enjoyed the camera obscura demo.
gardens and architecture are better than the permanent collection. a great place to spend sunny few hours walking about.
I all ways enjoy what the Getty offers you inside out .
A good moment in this museum. Enjoy the view as well
Admission to the Getty Center is free! The only thing you have to pay for is $15 parking. The parking structure has plenty of levels for parking so you just got to be patient and drive around in circles a few minutes. Once you get out of your car and head to the elevator, it takes you to the tram. The tram is also free, which takes you up to the Getty Center. Once you're there, you're free to roam around and check out the beautiful art and take in the scenery of Los Angeles. This is a great place to take a date and just wander around and take pictures.
Great exhibits including the edible monument. Loved the Van Gogh!
I really enjoy the layout, the exhibits and the staff. Even the security guards were super friendly and helpful.
The museum itself is breathtaking, however the customer service of the security officers needs enhancement. Upon approaching musuem guests, there was a particular security officer by the name of Michaelle Senegal who spoke to our party with an unnecessary rude undertone. Granted one person in our party had touched an artistic piece but the way she was told that there was no touching the artwork, was uninviting and unwelcoming. It should be a best practice to ensure that the wow factor is not only exhibited from the pieces but also the staff as a bad experience will travel faster than a positive one. This is our first trip to California and I will be sure to share this experience with inquiring onlookers on social media and with my cohorts.
This was my second time here and I loved it just as much as the first time. I will definitely go again!
Love the Getty! So much to see, and so much to learn. Definitely worth your time and money:)
