La Brea Tar Pits - View this location on map Take them to La Brea Tar Pits; the biggest source of ice-age specimens in the world is located in the middle of the most developed part of Los Angeles, the Wilshire corridor. In Hancock Park, tar pits bubble away as fake mammoths bobble up and down on the surface. Inside the charming George C Page museum children and adults can watch sabre tooth tigers fighting with sloths, see paleontologists at work and discover for themselves just how sticky tar can be. 5801 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA Historical, Kids
