Field Trips
The museum at La Brea Tar Pits is currently closed for a two-year renovation. Indoor exhibitions and experiences are temporarily paused. While our physical doors are closed, our commitment to supporting educators continues at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
We’ve also created some exciting new resources and programs for students and educators while under construction! Join us for our Tar Pits-themed Educator Workshops, Homeschool Days, and webinars next year at the Natural History Museum. Stay tuned for updates and subscribe to join our mailing list.
