They don't build 'em like they used to!
The Petersen Automotive Museum (6060 Wilshire Blvd/Fairfax) is a celebration of car culture par excellence.
Part time travel, part motorhead's dream, the Petersen gives guests a glimpse of the California street scene from the early days of the "horseless carriage" to the cruising scene of the 1960's and beyond. The permanent collection of automobiles is dazzling and the rotating exhibits will make even the most detacted a bit car crazy. The third floor has interactive exhibits for the kids which is great because after two floors of "look but don't touch" jumping on a police motorcycle and pretending to chase a bad guy is just what the doctor ordered.
Speaking of kids the Petersen is another field trip mecca. If you would prefer a quieter visit plan to arrive after 2pm on weekdays.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday 10am-6pm. Admission is $10.00 for adults, Seniors (62 and over) Student s and Active military with ID, $5.00, Children 5-12 $3.00 under 5 free.
Parking is available in an adjacent parking lot $2.00 for 30 minutes, $8.00 maximum for up to 4 hours.
