  • I have memories from around the early 80's when I was in the second or third grade, of going here on a field trip. I especially remember the cute girl I liked back then, Stacey Bryant. That's my main memory.
  • Prisoner of War camp (Closed) During World War II, a compound for holding German, Italian and Japanese POWs was located along the L.A. River in Griffith Park where the Traveltown Museum is today. Before the war Camp Griffith Park was at times a Civilian Conservation Corps facility, a boy's camp and a drunk farm for Los Angeles city inmates.
  • Fun place to visit if you have kids or just want to scratch it off your bucket list. I do like how admission is free but donations are an option. I usually drop a couple ones when I exit. Good to see places like these are here for the public to enjoy.
