SPECIAL NOTICES
Observatory Traffic Advisory
The 2008 season at the Greek Theatre opens Friday, May 9. For those visiting the Observatory when Greek shows are occurring, a lane of inbound traffic for Observatory visitors will be maintained once inside Griffith Park. However, you may encounter congestion on Vermont and Hillhurst Avenues trying to enter the park. An alternative would be Fern Dell / Western Canyon prior to sunset (when the road closes to inbound traffic). Please also be aware that there will be parking restrictions in the area of the Greek Theatre several hours before shows begin. You can view the Greek Theatre schedule by clicking here.
Pilot School Visit Program Full
We regret we are unable to accept any further applications for the 2007-08 Pilot School Visit Program. We will begin accepting applications for the 2008-09 School Visit Program in September 2008.
