The Autry is my grandpa's favorite museum! The docents are all very kind and helpful, especially Dwight Gillette. We love all of the interactive areas and special events. The cafe is a bit pricey, but everything is very tasty. I love that it is across the parking lot from the LA Zoo, so we go there first thing in the morning and then head to the Autry when it starts getting to hot.

One of our favorite museums. The exhibits change often enough that you can go back many times during the year. The docents are extremely knowledgeable and always ready to answer your questions even if you're not part of a group. Everyone who works there is very helpful. There are a huge number of activities planned throughout the year that are very family friendly. They just had the Hahamongna native plant nursery there and we are now the proud owners of a Tecate Cypress and 2 other drought tolerant plants.

If you're into Native American or cowboy culture, there's plenty here to hold your interest. Not necessarily the sort of museum I'd frequent often.
