The pits are not actually tar, but rather the crude oil which seeps through the ground and mixes with sediment, creating asphalt. You will notice several of them are bubbling. This is escaping methane gas. Reserve your entry ticket here.
The story unfolded a bit like an action-adventure set between 60,000 and 11,000 years ago, as ice age herbivores and their predators became trapped at La Brea. Early excavation and initial discovery continued from 1907 until the rights to excavate the land were gifted to the National History Museum. Elephants escaped from the zoo in 1929. As they w...

The museum showcases skeletons, fossils, and some of the best animal and plant life discovered here. It also highlights other findings around the world,...
Toward the back of the museum are the paleontologists’ labs and offices. Rather than being behind closed doors like in so many museums, they are behind a huge glass window. As a result, we can watch them at work as if looking into a giant fishbowl.
