AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Admission is free but you pay for parking, and reviewers say to reserve it online. A tram takes you up from the garage, which children tend to enjoy in itself. Gardens and grassy hills suit a picnic. School groups make weekdays noisy, so go at the weekend for calm. Expect a lot of walking.
Hilltop art museum with a fun tram ride, sculpture gardens, and grassy lawns.

The Getty Museums are amazing! Been to both of them and they are beautiful, organized and have amazing works! The day I visited was a Friday and it was a bit noisy as there were many kids from several schools there. If you are looking for a more sedate time, maybe go during the weekend or when school is out. Enjoyed our time and will go back to see what we missed on another visit. You can't beat the free admission and the garage parking was $25. It was great to see children being exposed to the arts and their guides and teachers piquing their interest. A+ run organization and museum. Enjoy!

Stunning museum overseeing all top spots of LA with different catrgories and nice restaurants or Cafés. A great place to let the soul relax from the big city stress combined with culture and art of all epoches. Amazing thing: free entry, parking $25 for the day amd mono rail from parking lot the buildings. Love it...
