Imagine-- natural asphalt and a black sticky tar seeping up from the ground for around tens of thousands of years, covering dust, leaves, or water and even the bones of trapped animals, leaving them preserved. These pits of tar have been preserved by the Hancock Park and this bizarrely fascinating natural phenome has become known worldwide as the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum.
The museum is the coolest place not only for paleontology geeks but for anyone who is interested in seeing fossils and remnants of the ancient world. Where else can one get the chance to see pieces of the Ice Age fossils on display, preserved just as they were millennia before? Visitors can see 650 different species of extinct or forgotten species such as ancient horses, wolves, Columbian mammoths, and coyotes. Visitors can also enjoy a multimedia exhibition which runs 15-minutes and highlights a life-size adult saber-toothed cat puppet, showing the story of this and many other Ice Age creatures. There are few places in the world that can offer you a glimpse into the past, making the La Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum a must.
