Griffith Park offers various parking options, including free street parking during specific hours (e.g., weekends from 8-10am) and paid parking at $10 per hour near the Observatory. Additional free parking can be found down the hill, such as on the Western side and at the Vermont side near the Greek Theater. Visitors should pay close attention to the posted signs and consider parking farther away during busy times to avoid congestion.
The Observatory's availability may vary, with certain attractions like the telescope having specific opening times. It is free to enter the Observatory itself, but additional features or shows may have fees. Visitors are advised to check the schedule before their visit to avoid missing out on key features if they have limited time or if certain attractions are only open during particular hours.
Griffith Park is dog-friendly and provides hiking trails that can be enjoyed with pets. However, it's important for pet owners to bring water for their dogs, especially during longer hikes. Visitors should also keep their pets on a leash and ensure they follow the park’s rules for a safe and enjoyable visit.
