Although I’ve never been a big fan of museums, I appreciate art and its history. Our primary goal at the Getty Center was to entertain our toddler with the tram ride. It may seem simple, but this experience opened the door for us to explore the center. Let’s go!

Tram Ride
The tram ride was complimentary, and while admission to the museum was free, we needed to purchase a ticket and book a timed reservation. The tram ride was brief yet just long enough to bring a smile to our little one’s face.
The Architecture
This tree design reminded me of Singapore's Gardens by the Bay.
The Garden
My favorite spot!
The Getty Center was surprisingly enjoyable for me!
The Flowers
The flowers were in full bloom, and it was such a delightful surprise. I hadn’t realized the Getty Center was this beautiful, in addition to its extensive collection of art and paintings.
Food Inside the Getty
I'm pretty sure my mum would love to see all these wonderful flowers - wish you were still here.
There’s a café inside the Getty Center where you can unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee.
Food is Allowed
We brought along some picnic snacks and let our little one roam freely in the expansive area.
Time to Relax
Don't forget to relax and just look around. It can get really crowded on the weekends, so getting a bench all to ourselves was a challenge.
It's a wrap!
He loved it!
Worth it!
Have fun and be safe ^__^
