We visited the La Brea Tar Pits on July 3, 2022. We didn't pay admission to visit the museum, but did pay the $15 flat fee to park in the gated parking lot. The tar pits are in a public park and and are free to the public to walk around and see. The tar pits in general are very small, with the exception of the large pond/lake which is mostly water.

The extinct animals discovered at La Brea Tar Pits were trapped in the asphalt between 11,000 to 50,000 years ago. They may have lived in the Los Angeles region for much of the last 100,000 years. Before that time the Los Angeles Basin was covered by the Pacific Ocean.
