than new. Admission and parking are free to this wonderful
landmark. The views of Hollywood and Los Angeles are priceless
( on a clear day).

about everyone that visits will take a family picture with
the sign in the background.
Inside the beautiful restored building are three levels
of state of the art hands on exhibits and displays. You
and your kids will be amazed at how nice this place is and
the best part its absolutely free.

in Los Angeles.
