    Great video. Always look forward to your content. The observatory is such a great place for anyone to see. The things around it are great and people just don't know how nice it can be. Thanks for another good one.

      It's pretty cool! I'd never paid much attention to the outside before - I was always interested in what was inside. I can't wait until indoor things start opening up. I'm always a little jealous when I see you inside a museum ... 😁😁😁

    You need to come back! The building is open now Weds thru Sunday, with planetarium shows: three different ones as of 12/13/22.

    • @JasmineApple
      @JasmineApple  Před rokem +1

      I did - it was great!! I loved the planetarium show, the Nimoy film on the lower lever, & the big picture! I loved the visual of the billions of years since the big bang. My biggest issue with the planetarium is that they don't have a space for rotating exhibitions. It's the new exhibits that keep people coming back to museums, and it would be really good to see that at the observatory as well. But I do love!

    I saw that you can take a bus up there too and so you can avoid the $15 an hour.

    • @JasmineApple
      @JasmineApple  Před rokem +1

      Thanks!! I tried it, & it was pretty simple to do. Coming down was a different story - I left about 45 minutes before they closed, and the Dash was having bus issues. So after standing in line for about 45 minutes, the last bus finally came & everyone packed in!!! I had a hamstring injury, otherwise, I would have walked down. But the bus is a great option! That'll be my go-to in the future.

      Thanks for watching! GO is currently open Fri-Sun. Here's how to find their hours:
      On your phone:
      - go to griffithobservatory dot org (can't put the URL in or YT marks the message as spam)
      - Tap on in the 3 horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the screen to see the menu
      - Tap Visit
      - Scroll down, and you'll see a heading that reads, "Griffith Observatory is open." In tiny print beneath that are the days & hours.
      On your computer:
      - Go to griffithobservatory dot org
      - Click on Visit on the menu bar
      - Scroll down & you'll see their days & hours.

      The one with Sarah Lynn? That was really good. The comment about, "I always forget that there are more than ust the 6 stars you can see in Los Angeles," is so true. I think I've seen the milky way about 3 times in the last 30 years. I was visiting my sister in KY -- she & her husband live on a farm, and it's really dark at night. The space station was flying overhead, so we all headed out into the field. You could actually see the space station orbit! It crossed the sky in about 90 seconds. You'd never see that here in LA. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

      I know it used to be a driving & parking nightmare - waaaaay overcrowded. Not sure if it's the price of parking or reopening that has changed that. Everytime I've been there, I haven't had to pay. And personally, I don't mind paying for parks or public places. Thanks for watching!

    I don’t like the idea of having to pay for parking. Born and raised in Hollywood and never had to pay. It pained me so much that I had ti pay $45.00 to hike and go site seeing. I know that the trail connects with the bat cave trail but still. The 15 dollar parking has really kept me away from the observatory. They demoted Pluto. They did Pluto dirty. Hahaha

    • @JasmineApple
      @JasmineApple  Před 2 lety

      Totally agree with you about Pluto & paying for parking! There's free parking off Los Feliz, & you can hike about 1.5 to 2 miles to the observatory - it's a pretty easy hike. Someone told me that they had reduced the price of the parking at the observatory, too, but I haven't confirmed it. Thanks for stopping by!

      Early in my working life, I had 2 pairs of identical high heels, in 2 different colirs. I commuted to dtla, so I left the heels in my car & put them on before going into the office. One busy day, I grabbed my shoes without looking & headed in. And you guessed it - I had on one black shoe & one beige shoe. I got a few odd looks, but almost no one said anything. To the few who did, I just said, "It's the latest fashion - I have a 2nd pair in my car!" 🤣🤣🤣
