The Griffith Observatory is forever a favorite to spend a Saturday morning — although the parking situation has changed quite a bit over the years. On this morning, we parked in a designated lot next to the Greek Theatre and then walked up the hill. (It was probably about a 20 minute hike.) There are also buses, but require exact change — which we didn't have. (It's a long time now since parking was free at the Observatory itself; and even nearby, parking is no longer allowed on the street.)
This time out, the Blogger Kid 2.0 was especially excited to see the Tesla Coil and its electric shocks. Back in the day, an Observatory staffer would pass around a light bulb and audiences would watch it light up. Now, the Tesla Coil is safely inside a Faraday cage.
As always, the other treat up at the Observatory: The view.
