Experience an unforgettable evening in Los Angeles with a fun and unique tour that combines a classic culinary experience with cosmic exploration! Enjoy an early dinner on own (approximately 4:00 p.m.) at Philippe the Original, the historic landmark that has been serving up delicious comfort food for 118 years! Founded in 1908, it’s the oldest continuously operated restaurant in Los Angeles and widely credited as the inventor of the “French Dipped Sandwich.” This iconic deli-style restaurant is famous for its sawdust-covered floors, communal tables, and classic comfort flood like beef stew, chili, macaroni salad, cole slaw, baked apples, and homemade pies. As the sun begins to set, we’ll make our way to the Griffith Observatory, Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos! Built in 1935 on the south facing slopes of Mount Hollywood, this stunning Art Deco masterpiece offers unparalleled panoramic views of the Hollywood sign and the glittering Los Angeles skyline. Enjoy time at leisure to take in the views of Hollywood and Downtown L.A., peer through telescopes to observe the stars (weather permitting), explore the magnificent astronomical exhibits, and watch the Leonard Nimoy-narrated film, The Once and Future Griffith Observatory. For a deeper dive into the cosmos, the Samuel Oschin Planetarium offers live shows that will take you on a journey through the cosmos by traveling to the farthest reaches of the universe and into the microscopic building blocks of life. Planetarium tickets cannot be pre-purchased but are available for an additional fee ($8 senior/$10 adult) on a first-come-first-served basis upon arrival at the Observatory’s box office. We’ll top off a memorable evening and celebrate Griffith Observatory 90th anniversary with an included slice of delicious chocolate cake from Philippe’s.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
