Exposition Park

The park grounds are generally open 8 a.m.-10 p.m., subject to event changes. Museums, the Rose Garden, stadiums, food, and parking facilities keep separate hours.

Primary paid entrances are at 39th/Figueroa and Martin Luther King Jr./Hoover. Event rates and closures can be substantial, so Metro E Line is often the simplest option.

Use the Expo Park/USC station or choose the museum, Rose Garden, EXPO Center, Coliseum, or stadium entrance before navigating; event security can divide the campus.

Restrooms are available inside museums during admission hours and at selected park facilities. Do not assume a museum restroom is available before opening or during ticketed events.

Park grounds and Rose Garden are free. The Science Center and CAAM offer free general admission but may require reservations; special exhibits, NHM, parking, and events charge.

Paved campus routes and museum entrances are accessible, but long distances, event fencing, crowds, and construction can change the practical route.

Leashed dogs may use general outdoor areas where posted, but pets are not admitted to museums, gardens, stadiums, or event zones except qualified service animals.

The Science Center, Natural History Museum, Rose Garden, and lawns form a strong family day, but one museum plus the garden is usually more comfortable than trying to cover everything.

Metro E Line's Expo Park/USC station is immediately north of the Rose Garden. Multiple buses serve Figueroa, Vermont, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Always check the event calendar. USC games, stadium concerts, festivals, and construction can change parking prices, security, entrances, and pedestrian routes across the whole campus.

Check current heat, air quality, wind, rain, surf where relevant, and operator alerts. Los Angeles heat and fire conditions can affect trails and outdoor facilities even when general park hours remain unchanged.
