La Brea Tar Pits will be closed on Friday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. We will reopen on Saturday, July 5.
In addition to our world-famous Tar Pits and more than 3.5 million Ice Age fossils, we offer a diverse range of programming throughout the year.
Join us July 18 and 25 for science, live music, hands-on activities, food trucks, and drinks at the Tar Bar–a perfect laid-back summer night at the Tar Pits!
