Charming white masterpiece hitting straight your soul. A place to be at least twice in a lifetime.
@johnnyg_79June 2, 2010Had a great time at the Getty. The exhibits are always great and on a clear day you have some of the best views of LA.
Chitra GuruJanuary 21, 2012Awesome architecture, spectacular paintings/pieces! Definitely worth a day's visit.
Mark HaileMay 18, 2010Going on Mother's Day seemed like a bright idea; the weather was gorgeous. A great many others had the same idea, unfortunately (but not so many that it was too crowded to enjoy the galleries).
StefiAugust 4, 2010Pack for a nice picnic on the lawn and the best part--they serve alcohol! $5 for beer and $20 for a bottle of house red or white wine. :)
Doug WrightJune 13, 2010One of my absolute favorite places in LA - A Must see for art and architecture bugs - great people watching

New summer hours beginning Friday (6/1/12) Getty Center will be open until 2100 hrs (9:00 PM) both Fridays & Saturdays until September 23, 2012.
- Just to update one of the tips: The Getty Center does not have free parking after 5PM on Saturdays. It charges a reduced price from their normal fee.
Alaa "Ally" TatumApril 27, 2010The art, the views, the architecture, the gardens... what's not to love? It's a great way to spend a day.
