Exposition Park Concerts

We came here to go to the Natural History Museum. The park is beautiful. We walked through the Rose Garden & by the Science Center where you can see the Space Shuttle getting it's new home. I also saw the construction of the George Lucas Museum. The only downside to visiting the day we did was there were lots of other events going on (Festival of Books @ USC, an Earth Day thing, something in the Colliseum, and when were leaving the LAFC were playing @ BMO) there so it took awhile to get parking.

Beautiful maintained park just adjacent to the Metro rail station. Around 20000 rose varieties are said to be grown in the park. Though I couldn't figure out that many thousands of varieties, I can say for sure there are hundreds of rose varieties 😀 Free entry. Worth to visit combining with Science Centre.

Beautiful park right next to the retired NASA Endeavour Space Shuttle at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, the Natural History Museum and the LA Coliseum. The Science Center is currently preparing the Endeavour for a vertical position. The final resting place will be standing straight up with a pair of solid rocket boosters and an external tank like it was last seen on the launch pad. This new 20-story-tall display will be the highlight inside the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, which is under construction adjacent to the main science center building in L.A.'s Exposition Park as seen in the pictures. Can't wait to come back when it's completed!

My children had a blast exploring throughout the day. Most schools bring the children on field trips during the week, so it's more busy and hectic during the week. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, not as busy. Parking fee is $15.00. I would definitely recommend bringing your own lunch or snacks specially for the kids.

Once again, this museum will take center stage as the project commences to enclose the Space Shuttle. If you were living here in Los Angeles when this "baby" arrived. It was no easy feat. The same people who help build the shuttle were hired to get it here. Along with the shuttle, the booster rockets (original) that took this thing of beauty into our final frontier sit along side it. You have to see it before it is enclosed.
