Guided Member Tours

Have you ever wondered what’s so special about the Big Picture in the Gunther Depths of Space? Or gazed upon the Ballin Murals in awe and wanted to know more?

Embark on a curated journey through the exhibits, artwork, and little-known building features. You will be led by a Foundation volunteer tour guide who has been trained by Griffith Observatory’s programming team to showcase the Observatory like you have never seen it before. Book your tour today.

Tours are available exclusively to Griffith Observatory Foundation members and their guests. Tours are offered at select times on Thursdays and Sundays only. Tickets are $50 per person and include complimentary parking. Limit eight (8) tickets per member per tour. Each tour has a 15-person limit, so you may be on a tour with other parties.
