If you want to try to get a better look at the Taurids, Griffith Observatory's telescopes are unfortunately only open until 9:45 p.m. It wouldn't matter if the telescopes were available; you don't watch a meteor shower through a telescope. The place to watch a meteor shower someplace with an obstructed view of the sky far from city lights. The best way to watch a meteor shower is to lay back in an outdoor lounge chair and look up. That way you can see more meteors and (if you're lucky) fireballs.
