I have wanted to come to the Getty Villa for a long time when visiting the area, but never had the opportunity until last week. We had no difficulty making a reservation the same day & the process was very smooth. The collection was fascinating; we spent 4 hours & only left at closing time; we could have stayed even... More

Admission, by reservation on line, is free, but parking is $15. It is a bit tough to get to driving east on 1, but worth the trouble. There are elevators -- several -- that will get you to the main museum. Because of the hillside they had no choice...perhaps an escalator would help here as the parking lot is down... More

Free admission, you pay to park, but can also park the same day for free at the Getty Center. Museum is beautiful, all Greek and Roman sculpture. Don't let 'villa' fool you, this is an art museum, not the place to come and see how the Getty's lived. Cafe has nice food and decent prices for where its located. Its... More

Let this be your mantra. Its a bit of a drive to this location but so worth it. I visited one hot summer night to see some wonderful Greek theatre. The words and actions of the actors felt right at home in this home of artifacts and edifices of the ancients.

The villa is a great place to visit. Its free :) and has wonderful art from ancient Greece and Rome. From the Villa you see the wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean.

This is always a wonderful place to visit. The Villa is in Malibu; another review mentioned LA. The Getty in LA is not the Villa. There is an emphasis on sculpture, but also many other wonderful works of art. The gardens are true works of art. There are many places to relax and reflect. And yes, the view is spectacular....

Too much to see in one day. The view of the ocean is lovely. It is fun to imagine living in such a mansion high above the Pacific. Took the plant tour and really enjoyed it. The restaurant serves delicious food. Next time I'll visit the Getty Center.

I have been to the Getty Villa on several occasions and it never gets old. The museum based on a Roman villa at Herculaneum is stunning. The Greek and Roman art is well laid out. The visiting exhibits are usually very good and often based on works that have been restored there. I just saw the Sicily exhibit which was... More

J. Paul Getty was once the richest person in the world and he used some of that wealth to assemble a remarkable collection of antiquity at the Getty Villa. The Getty Villa is nothing short of breath taking. It defies imagination that such a collection of antiquity could be assembled and presented in such an accessible manner. The gardens and... More
