Seeing Stars...With a Reservation

Los Angeles residents are greatly anticipating the re-opening of the Griffith Park Observatory on November 3rd. What you may not know is you will actually need reservations to visit (remember the opening of the Getty Center?).

"During the months after reopening, there will be absolutely NO drive-up access to Griffith Observatory. All visitors must have a timed-entry reservation to be admitted to the Observatory."

So, how do you get a reservation? Well, they have made it fairly easy. You can go online or you can call 1-888-695-0888 and purchase tickets. They will then offer shuttles from various parking lots up to the observatory.

Well, I suppose this is the most effective way to keep people from bulldozing over each other for a peak at the Big Dipper.
