The sprawling metro park is home to special events, concerts and boasts numerous attractions for residents and visitors. Check out the Autry Museum on Western Heritage Drive, or rent a bicycle at the Ranger Station parking lot. The Griffith Observatory is a favorite place for the other kind of star spotting, and the Griffith Park Southern Railroad, merry-go-round and Greek Theatre are all popular sites for family fun.
The L.A. Equestrian Center offers horseback riding and stabling, while the L.A. Zoo is also part of this massive park. From pony rides at the corner of Los Feliz and Riverside to Travel Town shops and dining options within the zoo, visitors will need plenty of time to check off everything on their Griffith Park to-do list.
