The Getty

A long time ago, I went to the Getty Center with a friend and was very impressed with the experience. It was free to enter, you just have to pay for parking!

What's cool is how accommodating they are to families! Their website has a ton of recommendations on how to make the most of a trip with a family / kids; you can ride the train up, have a picnic on the grounds and even drop your kids off at their kid center so that you can enjoy the art in peace. I'm not so sure I'd do it, but one of the staff members at the Getty Villa was raving about how wonderful the kid center is! So, whatever floats your boat! :) 

Getty made his fortune in the oil industry and collected  many types of art. The Getty Villa in Malibu, with the Landsdowne Herakles and stunning grounds is also worth visiting.

The Getty is a renowned art museum in Los Angeles that houses an impressive collection of European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts.

Famous, sizable free museum highlighting American & European art, architecture & manicured gardens.
