Griffith Observatory Re-Opens
After nearly five years, the renovated and expanded Griffith Observatory opens to the public on Friday. The 71-year-old Beaux-Arts architectural icon has been painstakingly preserved thanks to a $93 million renovation which includes a new planetarium, theater, cafe, classroom, bookstore and more than 60 exhibits. Larry and his guests discuss the restoration process and what the public can now expect when they visit the Los Angeles landmark. You can make a reservation to by calling 888-695-0888 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You can also make a reservation online at http://www.griffithobs.org
