While you could just walk into The Getty for many years, due to its overwhelming popularity and public health crowd control you’ll need a reservation now. You can book your tickets here. The system is really user friendly and even tells you how availability looks for each day and time! You’ll need to show the ticket at the base of the mountain befo...
Let’s be real: all the best things to do in LA are busy on weekends. Historically The Getty Center could get extremely crowded and see enormous lines to take the tram, though the current ticketing system helps. Since The Getty Center is closed on Mondays, Tuesday through Friday are the best days to visit The Getty Center. I prefer going first thing...
Our family loves eating at The Getty! There are options for all price points and styles. If you arrive right at opening and need fuel for your day, stop by the Museum Courtyard Coffee Cart. They have plenty of drink options (including caffeinated ones for those of us who like to start our days that way) plus a selection of pastries. You can even or...

While Getty Center tickets are free, most visitors are required to pay $20 to park their cars in the lot. There are a few options to save on that fee though. The easiest option to save on Getty Center parking is to go late in the day. On most days, if you arrive after 3pm you’ll pay only $15. On days when the Getty Museum is open late (like Saturda...
- Van Gogh, Irises. The absolute star of the Getty Center is Vincent Van Gogh’s Irises. In fact, it’s so sought after that the museum employees may point you right to the West pavilion where it’s housed.
- Edouard Manet, Spring. Manet is known as the “Father of Impressionism,” though he really preceded and overlapped with the movement. Manet had a huge impact on the development of modernism.
- Claude Monet Works. The Getty has a trio of significant paintings by the ever-popular Impressionist artist Claude Monet. Sunrise is a painting that kicked off the Impressionism movement.
- Cezanne, Still Life With Apples. Cezanne was a hugely influential painter of the late 19th century. Monet called Cezanne “the greatest of us all.” For Picasso, he was the father of modern art.
If you are in LA, The Getty Center is a must do landmark site to see. My only advise if you don't like crowds is to make weekday opening 10:00 a.m. free reservation online. Just note: the only way to get up to the center is by tram and the parking is $20. I had made 10:00 a.m. reservations on a Saturday.
