9:30am to 5:00pm

Take a step back in time to the tune of 25,000 years ago and embark with the kids on an epic journey through the world of Rancho La Brea–one of the world’s most famous fossil sites and the home to over three million fossils from the last Ice Age. It was here that huge mammoths, fierce saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths became trapped and entombed in the asphalt that has been seeping out of the ground for the past 40,000 years.
