See the Griffith Observatory Sept. 23
SUNSHINE CLUB
Leisure World Residents are invited to join the Sunshine Club in a day trip to the Los Angeles Griffith Observatory on Friday, Sept. 23.
The Griffith Observatory is a great place for tourists to explore the universe in the heart of Los Angeles. It is known as Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos. Visitors may look through telescopes, explore exhibits, see live shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium, and enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign.
All visitors must wear face masks at all times while inside the observatory and on the roof. By entering the building, visitors are agreeing to follow this requirement. Visitors will also need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter.
The group will also see a show in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. With its spectacular Zeiss star projector, digital projection system, state-of-the-art aluminum dome, comfy seats, sound system, and theatrical lighting, the 290-seat Samuel Oschin Planetarium theater is the finest planetarium in the world. Every show is presented by a live, engaging storyteller, and one of the Observatory’s three current shows is offered every 60 to 90 minutes each day.
Those who are interested in joining the day trip must bring a check payable to the Sunshine Club for $70. The price includes an admission fee of $8 for the Samuel Oschin Planetarium show, plus transportation, lunch, snacks and gratitity for the driver.
Tickets are sold first-come, first-served with limited seats available. The bus will leave at 1 p.m., from the front of the Clubhouse 4 parking lot and will be back by 10 p.m. Tickets are nonrefundable after Aug. 26.
