Autry National Center

Los Angeles, CA 90027

map | website | comment

Honoring the legacy of the original “singing cowboy,” the Autry National Center displays Wild West meorabilia both geniune and cinematic, tracing the overlaps between the two. Featuring inventively interactive displays created by Disney Imagineers, there are spaces for your grandchildren to play dress-up in historical Californian gear, or ride a horse past an approaching steam engine through a blue-screen simulation. The real and the fantastic mingle freely; a room full of authentic Native American art and artifacts borders one detailing the history of the Hollywood Western with costumes, posters, and props.

Info: Adults $9, seniors 60 and older and students 13 to 18 $5, children 3 to 12 $3, 2 and younger free

Hours: Tuesday to Friday 10am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am to 5pm

Age: Tdlr./Pre-Schl. (1-5), Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
