The La Brea Tar Pits are a unique geological feature located in the heart of Los Angeles. The tar pits have been seeping natural asphalt for thousands of years, trapping and preserving the remains of prehistoric animals. Visitors can explore the tar pits and see the ongoing excavation work, which has yielded a wealth of fossils. The adjacent George C. Page Museum houses a collection of fossils and exhibits that provide insights into the Ice Age and the animals that once roamed the area. The La Brea Tar Pits offer a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of Los Angeles.
