Free public star parties are held monthly at Griffith Observatory from 2:00 pm to 9:45 pm monthly.
Parking is free too! Bring a picnic and enjoy their breathtaking views and exhibits, as you dine al fresco under the stars! We did just that over the weekend, sans stars, it ended up being a bit overcast.
However, this was a blessing in disguise...We were able to view the most amazing sunset!
