What a great place to learn about history and animals! I remember coming here when I was a kid and it was such a wonderful place to explore. It's near LACMA and other attractions so you can easily spend a day looking at museums.There's a free guided tour for La Brea Tar pits so you can get more detailed information. The museum has discounted rates for students and on-site parking is $9 for the whole day. If you're lucky, you can get street parking.FYI the place smells so bring a hanky to cover your nose hehe...
