Super interesting museum, spectacular, offers an easy and understandable way of learning about the tar pits. You`ll need a few hours to go around but it's absolutely worth it. Well explained and well organized.

The experience is something I am extremely glad I had and get to check it off my bucket list. It didn't take long to go through everything and the cost of parking was a bit high.

Fascinating visit to see actual archeologists still looking for fossils. Oil still bubbles to the surface with a sulphuric smell. We went into the museum, reasonably priced. Dinosaur bones and life size animals fill the museum. A few animal models even move.
