|  Re: visiting the Griffith Observatory hi there, It doesn't cost anything to access the Griffith Observatory, and you can use the Zeiss and solar telescopes for free to get lovely views of the city, as well as the famous Hollywood sign. There is also a Planetarium, which shows hourly films giving you an insight into the universe. Apart from this, you can enjoy the numerous space and science exhibits. hope this helps Vacationbuddy

| Re: visiting the Griffith Observatory Does anyone know what kind of Telescope(s) they have and how big it is. I am a very amateur astronomer with an 8" Orion. It is a big step up from my first "toy" telescope. Now I have what is called apature fever and amazed by the big telescopes. |

| Re: visiting the Griffith Observatory Hi Frankie P, The Griffith Observatory have a Zeiss Telescope with a 12 inch reflector viewing of the night sky, and three solar telescopes. One of them offers a white light view of the sun; another shows a view through an H-alpha filter and the third shows a solar spectrum. hope this helps Vacationbuddy

| Re: visiting the Griffith Observatory As per the website: Admission to the Observatory building and grounds is FREE. There is a nominal charge to see shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. If you are any sort of astrology nut, you'll be in heaven, and if not you'll have good time. ;) |
