Good to know

  • Book the free timed entry online; parking is cashless and one fee covers both Getty sites on the same day
  • Stay for sunset above the Central Garden or the cactus garden on the south promontory; Saturdays run to 9pm
  • Time Out reports the museum will close in March 2027 for improvements before the Olympics: go before then
