I appreciate everyone who takes time out of their day to tune into my videos . It really means a lot to me
TheDailyWoo hey Adam you do an awesome job uploading these videos keep up the good work
And a big hello from the UK
TheDailyWoo Adam that was funny with the Dung Beattle. It's like emphasis on dung. Lol dude keep up the good work.
TheDailyWoo love seeing the notification pop up on my phone that you have a new video out. Makes me smile. 😊 Interesting museum and seeing the tar still bubbling up in that tar pit after all these thousands of years.
Just thank you so much for the work you do. Love getting your notifications
Man I have such a great fascination with the Tar Pits. Loving the content man anything dinosaurs is a winner with me.
No dinosaurs. Just Prehistoric animals.
Too bad the SUV's and cow farts killed these animals all those thousands of years ago.
@@redwhitentrue that's one reason, there's also a "movement" to stop farming broccoli and cabbage along with banning Taco Bell.
@frankos rooni climate change? We've had that for a long time, it's called summer, fall, winter, and spring.
Not dinosaurs .!!! Pleistocene ice age mammals,. .10 .to 40 THOUSAND YRS AGO ..!!!,, DINOSAURS 65. MILLION YRS AGO ..😀😀😀👍
Very interesting. I have heard the La brea tar pits mentioned many times over the years but had no idea what they were like. A very cool place and video. Thank you for sharing.
It's changed a lot since I was there about 40 years ago.
How so? I'm interested
I used to go on field trips in elementary school to this museum, thanks for letting me vicariously relive my youth. I think they shot scenes from Encino Man there too.
Damn, I remember going there in the 6th grade back in the day. It has changed so much. I might visit it again or at least before I pass away.
Mount Shasta is a volcanic mountain in California. I'm guessing that Sloth is named after that.
Glad you "stuck" around to check out the museum. Pretty neat.
Watching you play with all the toys in the gift shop makes me happy!
When I was a kid I had a real irrational fear of quick sand, like it was something I'd spend time worrying about - thank gaaaad I didn't know tar pits were a thing! Great video as always Sir Woo-a lot. 👏🏻
Gail Nunn Movies made me think it was gonna be a real problem when I was a kid lol!
Thank you for showing this..always heard of this place..first time seeing anything about it💖👍💖👍💖👍💖
Had heard of the La Brea Tar Pits, and always wanted to go see them, but never had time in LA!! I';m grateful for your showing us this Wonder Of The World. Over the centuries I'd bed many many critters ambled into the tar, and couldn't get out!!! The more they struggled, the deeper they sunk!!
Enjoyed the La Brea Tar pits tour. I remember going on tour with our elementary school when they would take us on field trips. I guess our school got special permission to do that. This was in 1962 or 1963. Anyway, it was nice touring it again after so many years for me personally. We appreciate all your efforts and hard work that you do putting all this information together. ❤️🙏🏻
How difficult was it then? Was the tar thicker and higher?
@@UlyssesM Don’t know if the tar was thicker or higher but I do remember walking into one of the older apartment buildings near the tar pits to visit a friend who lived there and tar was found oozing out of a tar paved street in front of the building in the 1980’s which I found odd. Then a series called “La Brea”. comes out on TV during the COVID pandemic..very strange things are still happening under our feet! 🧐😁
I have always loved the tar pits, and so glad you went there again. All through that area has tar bubbling from peoples front yards.
Many people even in California don't know there are numerous oil wells in southern California! Love the LA Brea tar pits and museum. Always visit when there.
Morning Adam, I haven't been to the tar pits since the early 60's, it was always one of my favorite places when I was a kid. Have a great day!
doug same
Went to the LeBrea tar pits in the early '90's. It was the last day of our Hollywood vacation. Upon returning home I lost my purse with the camera in It. It had, you guessed it, my undeveloped roll of film of the tar pits. I did manage to keep a couple of post cards. Loved seeing your vlog. It was almost just like being there. Thanks.
Amazing place, always a pleasure to watch. Thanks Adam
I have seen these tar pits in a lot of Hollywood movies, but I never really knew much about what they were or why they existed. That was an awesome video. I have learned something very new today.
Such an interesting site... Thanks for sharing the highlights with us.
Always look forward to each one of your vlogs, Adam.
Those air pockets bubbling are so cool..... ancient reminders in a modern, hustling world. Also reminds me of the bog of eternal stench!
Hope all is well Adam. Thank you for all the great work you do. I appreciate it so much
The daily woo notification makes me happy. Like opening presents on christmas day
I went to these tar pits in 2013 and I’m so glad you made a video about it I wanna go again
I have waited FOREVER to see the Tar Pits!! Loved everything about this video. Thank you, Adam. 🤗👍👏❤❤❤
Nice coverage of today's La Brea tar pits. I grew up near there, and remember my mom taking me to see the then open ponds of goo, one of which had a scary statue of a saber-tooth cat coming up out of it. The arboretum and museum are gorgeous...am so glad the powers that be didn't make a tarpit Disneyland out of this grand leftover of our bygone geologic past. Thanks for your good work, dear Woo.
Another interesting place! Thank you for going to these places.
I had missed going to this museum on my visit to Los Angeles. This video was almost like I was there. Thanks for a great tour.
The day is so much brighter when you start your day with TheDailyWoo!!!
I loved going to the Tar Pits and the museum, I'll have to go back again, I didn't realize how large the property was!
I went here 3 years ago while staying in L.A. for awhile. It was worth every penny! There was a student discount available and another one too so look into it. It was a truly amazing experience. I can't wait to go back!
Parts of My Girl 2 were filmed here too :)
Loved this Adam. Very interesting! I heard about them but didn’t know they were in LA. Thank you sir for taking us along.
Hi Adam, I really enjoy your LA vlogs. Glad you went to the La Brea Tarpits. My friend and i went there twice years ago. Last Saturday, we were at LACMA. We can smell the hot tarpit from LACMA! Have another great day!
Good morning Adam, so good to see you and we appreciate your time in bringing us this great video.
Looking forward to your next live stream and just hangin out with you. Enjoy your day!! 💜💕💜💕
I went there when I was a little kid. I remember being disappointed that they didn't have live mammoths and saber-tooth tigers.
I got to finally go there last February, after wanting to go there since I was a kid. It’s neat how it’s surrounded by modern buildings. The fossils they’ve removed over the years is amazing. Awesome!! It’s was Adam that made me get on a plane and venture to California.
I drove by this site many times before I stopped by and saw what it was all about. It was very interesting. Now it’s been many years since I’ve been in LA. I’d like to see it again one day.
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks, Adam. Great tour and always
Dig your sense of humor. :)
Thanks Adam, safe travels!
I've been to the La Brea Tar Pits before and it is awesome just walking around and checking in out. And I really blend in at the gift shop. Nice video. 👍👍👍
One thing that was on my mind the entire time, was Encino Man!!!.
Great video. My Mom let me drive a Dautsun B210 from San Diego to LA when I was getting me driver permit and we went to the La Brea Tar Pits. Got to bring my 11 year old daughter there.
I used to go there on field trips as a kid.
AND>>> last week I just made a funny tee shirt design of:
dinosaur walking into la brea tar pit ;)
Adam, always great content, adventuring and smiles...THANK YOU ADAM!!
Great to see you again
Enjoy the day and the life we have. Might cross paths in the big LA
Thank you for sharing. Are used to live in California but now I am far far away;). Show this video to my little one so he could see what I saw when I was a kid. Awesome thank you 🙏🏽 for the video.
My dad used to live near there before the pools were all blocked off and he would get tar all over his feet from poping the bubbles that were on wilshire blvd when it was a 2 lane dirt highway before they invented asphalt. he told me the pools were a lot bigger but they filled in alot so it wasnt so unsafe. I can't believe how big the sloths were compared to todays sloth. I think its the elephant that never shrunk. the horse got bigger from only 1' high. Mind Blowing ... ty that was a trip down memory lane.
This is one of my favorite places in L.A. The Tar Pits and museum are fascinating, and they near a lot of other cool stuff. The L.A. County Museum of Art is right next door (along with some smaller associated museums). The Petersen Automotive museum is just across the street (a fantastic collection of automotive history). And Farmer's Market and CBS Television City are just north on Fairfax. Also, AMPAS is building a huge museum right at the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire. It opens next year and should be great.
Excellent vlog Adam. The La Brea tar pits is on my "bucket list" .Keep the good stuff coming.
Being a disabled Veteran and on a budget, I appreciate your channel and what you do for those of us who can't travel.
Cool place Adam!
Thanks for taking us along!!
Cool place I'd love to see this!! Awesome !!!! Thanks Adam!!!!
love it when you guys actually give the prices for attractions
Nice tour, thank you. I just learned, today, that the pronghorn antelope and the largest bird, the California condor are anachronistic animals, that they have survived since the Pleistocene Epoch.
I've always been facinated with the tar pits. I remember reading about them as a kid and I've seen them in a few games, L.A. Noir for one. Thanks for taking us there Adam!
Ideal place to start a "Miracle Mile" movie location video, a movie which also mentioned/showed the Pan-Pacific Auditorium tying it back to disney ;-)
A ''Miracle Mile 1988'' filming locations video is a great idea. A tour down Wilshire Boulevard would be cool, I think 'Johnie's' cafe is still there.
I am so glad I stumbled across your channel a few months ago. You are so entertaining. I love watching your video's. The best part is there are so many to catch up on. I get to watch more than one a day now. Thank you for taking the time to make the video's they really brighten my day!
I've never been there and I don't know why not. This video has convinced me to put it on our calendar and go for a visit. Thanks Adam!
YES!!!! You finally used one of may favorite Wooisms in your vlog FESTOONING!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work Adam!!!
I visited here back in April of 2012! I went for spring break my freshman year with my family, and when we were walking around on the inside part, we saw Jack Black there with his family! I even stood at the tar pump station when he was there with one of his kids helping them work the pump. It was pretty cool. And when we were walking outside there was a brand new very small pit opening up thru the grass that they had sectioned off and had a security guard by because there were kids running around outside so they didn't want any accidents happening. It's just an amazing place to visit. And the fact that the pits have been active since prehistoric mammals were walking around the area and the pits are still active to this day is amazing and mind-blowing.
(*Edit: my keyboard changed sectioned to secondary so I changed it back)
I work at the NHM in London and it’s my dream to go out to LA to see the museums, especially La Brea! Thank you for the tour!
did you visited it till now ?😊
Awesome video, Adam! When my parents were first married in the 1950's, they lived just a few blocks from the tar pits. It was nothing than a fence around the pits and trees and grass. My mom said she would walk to the corner drugstore, buy a paperback book and sit in the park and read.
Thank you for reading the information on the various animals and pits. So cool.
When I was there in 1987 it was completely different--much smaller. There was only one big outdoor swamp/tarpit and the museum was small, without all the inter- active stuff and no tropical garden atrium (not sure why that was there unless it had tarpits in it.) One thing that was the same was that the mowed grass in the park had tar bubbling out in lots of little spots.
I've been to LA a few times and wanted to visit the Tar Pits but it's one place I missed. I'm sure it's been upgraded from the 80's and 90's, so this was very interesting. Thanks Adam.
Thanks for the adventure, sticky nonetheless!
'Up from the ground came a bubblin' crude!!! "
I enjoy all your videos. Thank you for taking me back to the La Brea tar pits, I was lucky enough to visit there several times with my elementary school class. Your personality draws me to your videos, but I am happy to revisit many places I have been to and see lots of new attractions, (many I never knew about before seeing your video) lots of which I now hope to be able to visit myself in the future.Thank you, you are truly appreciated!
Another informative video...My 5 year old son, made sure I gave it a thumbs up!
Yet another stellar post! Have yet to visit the museum...last time I went to The Tar Pits was in the late 90's, the museum might have been under construction at the time. Did not know Hancock Park was named after Allan Hancock...went to Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria many years ago, many places in the city have Hancock history to them. Nice to see a connection to L.A.
Keep up the great work Adam
Love this place!!! Especially with everything going on in Hawaii right now, it’s fascinating!! Thank You Adam!!! ☮️💟
Miss you Rosey ..rip
*FANTASTIC!!!* This is a place I had hoped you would take us one day!!! Thank you so much. I popped a wheelie in my wheelchair for this vlog! So interesting, and I love that they are still finding fossils and bones to this day. I would spend hours watching them work. Thank you so much for this wonderful day!
It's a very fascinating place
To just think about Ice Age animals walking around the blvd. where cars and people travel now.... AMAZING ! Wish I could travel back in time just to see it all in action. Knowing then what I know now though, I would try and keep the animals from what they all thought was a river or pond to take a drink of water... I would shoo them away so they did not get stuck in the tar ! Thank You Adam for this vido blog ! Really a cool treat.
I must say, Very Jurassic park-esk kinda place lol.
So awesome Adam thanks for sharing!
Oh Yeah! the Oil is the LA gold. Thumbs up. Thanks Adam....
You mean a lot to us as well! Keep up the awesome work!
Thats somewhere ive wantee to see since I was a kid. Now I dont have too youve ahown it to us. Thanks Adam
Used to go hear yearly with my grade school. It's changed so much since the 80's. I miss it lol
B McCorkle I’ve been there in the 90’s
How so
Your videos and tours are awesome Woo Man. Watching from the most isolated city on Earth- Perth WA.
I grew up in So Cal and never made it there. Thanks for the awesome video.
Im glad you take these historical sights so serioisly without joking too much...sometimes bad jokes can be really tacky.
I remember your last video there. Pretty amazing natural phenomenon. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I have always wanted to visit the tar pits.
It's a fun place
We have Dung Beetles all around our property. When our dog does her business, well there’s business left on the ground. By the next day it’s gone and you can usually see them breaking it down and rolling it away to their mounds. Thought you might like a little stinky info.
19:11 "The Circle of... Raw Raw Raw..." lol

Couldn't stop laughing 😂
This place was noted in many books as being Kurt Cobain's favorite place to get away and spend time alone while being in LA
Reminds me of the old school field trips as a youngster. The biggest problem of the day was trying to figure out how to keep the soda in my sack lunch cold enough to drink at lunch time, but also not still frozen 😁
Your videos are always a pleasant part of every day you upload. Thanks!
Remember in the movie: "Volcano," it showed the Mastadon Elephant in the tarpits sinking?!
I miss my hometown! Thanks for the video
I visited this place last summer. Very unique and interesting!
Ever since seeing My Girl decades ago I've wanted to go here but haven't been able to yet. Now I feel like I have, thank you Adam for taking us along with you!
This is on my bucket list. Thanks for showing!
Thanks Again Adam for a Cool Video,very interesting.
I remember watching My Girl 2 and the main characters visited this place. Great video as usual 🙂
" everyone's friends here...just playing a little game of tag..." XD....Adam the Woo...museum tour guide🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐒
For a long time I wondered what was so great about the LaBrea tar pits. Now I know.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make these vlogs!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you ✌🏻
Its awesome to think that i touched the exact metal thing to pull the tar up a day after you did!
Glad you clarified! I was having a deja vu moment. Anyway, the sloth looks good on you, Mr. Woo.
