Allow Half to full day.
An enormous, sprawling wilderness-in-the-city that anchors half of LA's outdoor life — miles of trails, the Observatory, the zoo, and pony rides all inside it. It's so big and car-dependent that 'visiting the park' means picking one thing; without a plan it can feel like a lot of driving between scattered sights.
