The Observatory is well worth a trip
Do not walk up. The tour with Jason from Wild Adventure Rides was fantastic. He is fun, and knowledgeable about the place. Highly recommend.

Description
What sets this experience apart is the rare combination of adventure and culture in a single tour. Guests ride top-tier electric mountain bikes on quiet fire roads with sweeping views, Hollywood Sign photo stops, and an easy, beginner-friendly flow. Then, unlike most bike tours, this one includes a full visit to Griffith Observatory—exploring exhibits, planetarium areas, rooftop lookouts, and enjoying time for bathrooms or a snack at the café. It’s two iconic LA experiences in one seamless, curated adventure.

HIghly reccomended ride for anyone thinking about it (or even those not thinking about it).
My 13 year old son and I were in LA for a few days to see Dodgers and Lakers games and signed up for this trip as a time filler. It turned out to be the highlight of the trip. We did a last minute switch from the Griffith Observatory ride to the Santa Monica Intermediate Roller Coaster Ride and it was incredible. Jason was a great guide. Very patient with riders that needed some coaching and got them confident enough to run all the intermediate trails which were a ton of fun, both single track and dirt roads. The scenery was fantastic and the bikes were high end.
