Hancock park is beautiful and the sites are something you'll never see elsewhere. Sloths, mastodons, dire wolfs, saber tooth cats, etc are exhibited which are creatures I've never seen before. The tar pit (where they uncover the bones) is only open during the summer (make sure you go then) so you can actually see how the process works! And, there's a cool "fishbowl" in the museum that allows you to see the cleaning of the bones. The museum isn't too big so it's not tiring. The gift shop is exceptionally large and nice with many affordable items even if you're on a budget. Especially good for kids because they can run around outside before or after if they need to burn off energy. Overall, a really nice experience.
Pros: Educational & Unique, Beautiful park, FishBowl/Pit/GiftShop
