La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum offers a one-of-a-kind experience that allows visitors to enter an Ice Age excavation site. Visitors can walk through the park, where tar is still bubbling, to our active fossil excavation sites to see what our excavators have uncovered today. Millions of fossils have been discovered here including mammoths, saber-toothed cats, dire wolves and giant sloths that roamed Los Angeles over 11,000 years ago.

The history of the Tar Pits, and the work the excavators perform can be observed with the Excavation Tour.
