I recall that someone told me there wasn't much to see at the La Brea Tar Pits. They must have missed seeing the Page Museum! It has a wealth of exhibits: a film, hundreds of fossils of ice-age animals, models showing what the animals looked like, a lab with windows so you can watch workers cleaning bones...A few words of caution: children might be frightened by images of animals suffering a panicked death trapped in the tar, or by models of predators eating other animals. (Heck, some adults will be scared too!)
