LA’s Griffith Observatory

The Griffith Observatory first opened in 1935 and has since offered visitors an array of space and science-related displays. Situated in Griffith Park, the observatory was a filming location in Disney’s The Rocketeer (1991) where the namesake character attempts to rescue the heroine, Jenny.
