Construction Updates
Our South Entrance, which faces Exposition Park, is temporarily closed as part of the next phase of construction on NHM Commons. Visitors and Members coming to NHM from other areas around Exposition Park should enter our East Gate Entrance, which is located across from the Rose Garden. ADA and stroller accessibility are available at this entrance.
General admission, tickets for all NHM add-ons experiences and Memberships can all be purchased at this location and Members will still receive special access. For guests parking in the NHM Car Park off of Bill Robertson, our North Entrance and ticket booth still remain open.
The South entrance is expected to reopen on or before the opening of NHM Commons, which is currently scheduled for 2024. Learn more about the future NHM Commons here.

The Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County no longer requires masks worn at all times indoors and in our outdoor Butterfly Pavilion, regardless of vaccination status. In accordance with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, we still strongly recommend all visitors to continue wearing masks while indoors and ask that individual choices are respected.
