Museums and Cultural Attractions
Griffith Observatory
This world-famous Works Progress Administration building was one of the few improvements to the park personally envisioned and started by Griffith J. Griffith. Recently renovated, this iconic structure houses one of the first planetariums in the United States, stunning murals and sculptures, the largest astronomically accurate image ever created, and a science museum that has not charged admission since its completion in 1935. It’s also a fantastic spot for city views and nighttime star parties.

Hiking in Griffith Park: Bronson Cave
Visit an old quarry that you’ve definitely seen in TV and movies before—and venture into the original Batcave.
Excerpt from trail description:
It should come as no surprise that a park so close to America’s filmmaking epicenter would be featured in a lot of films and TV shows, but this short-and- easy hike to some unassuming old quarry scars brings you to a location that punches well above its weight—and offers a decent view of the Hollywood Sign, too. Take the kids for some outside time, then relax in the nearby playgrounds—or continue farther into the park for more of a hike.

Well Rounded Guidebook Worth the Read
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through this book. Not only is it full to the brink of the history of Griffith Park (including ghost stories), it starts off by answering the age old question of, "How Do I See the Hollywood Sign?" Casey goes into great detail on the various ways it can be done too.As a hiker, I really enjoyed the detailed trail guides and accompanying maps. The beautifully curated color pictures along with Casey's carefully crafted words help bring the spaces to life right off the page. And can we talk about that cover? <insert heart eye emoji here>It was also nice to see parts of the park that don't generally get much love shine in the spotlight of this local's guide.If you're looking for a well-rounded guidebook to the place that literally inspired Disneyland (this book is FULL of fun facts), do yourself a favor and buy yourself a copy of Discovering Griffith Park.
