Los Angeles - Griffith Park

Autry Museum of Western Heritage, opened in November 1988 in Griffith Park contains over 14,000 artifacts on the history of the West or Wild West, and also has two galleries for temporary exhibitions. In seven galleries by means of rare old films such as westerns with Buffalo Bill, a reproduction of a Hollywood studio, and costumes and other exhibits dating from the time the wild west was discovered, you can see how Hollywood portrayed the wild west on film.

In this open-air theater (2700 North Vermont Avenue) jazz and rock concerts with very well-known soloists are held from May to October.

The Greek Theatre is a 5,800 seat venue in a tree-enclosed setting of Griffith Park.

Griffith Park Golf Course is owned and operated by city of Los Angeles. There is also a 50 tee double-decked

driving range.

The Los Angeles Zoo has been in existence only since 1966, and thus is one of the newest zoological gardens in the USA. About 2,000 animals, many grouped in their natural environment and according to their native habitat, roam around on the 115 acres/46 hectares.

Among other things there is a reptile house, a section for aquatic animals and one for birds. The koala-bear house and the children's zoo are very popular.
