LA Family Fun｜La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

🦖🌋✨ The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum is the ONLY natural asphalt pit in the heart of Los Angeles! Right outside the museum, you’ll find a real tar pit enclosed by a wire fence—you can smell the distinct asphalt scent from a distance and even spot tiny bubbles rising to the surface. 🤯💦 Inside, the museum displays thousands of animal bones preserved in the tar pits, and there’s even a live Lab where you can watch scientists carefully cleaning and studying fossils. 🔬🦴 How cool is that? One of the coolest interactive experiences? Staff members walk around with real bear and wolf skulls, letting you touch their teeth while explaining their bone structure. 🐺🐻 Yes, you can actually feel how sharp their teeth were! And don’t miss the hands-on exhibit where you can try pulling a rod out of sticky tar—it’s WAY harder than it looks! You’ll need all your strength to lift it. 💪😤 Who’s up for the challenge? Bonus tip: The museum is just a few hundred feet from LACMA, so you can easily visit both in one trip! 🎨🚶‍♂️ Double the fun! Have you been here before? What was your favorite part?
