Admission to the Getty Villa is FREE for the whole family. Each Villa ticket allows you to bring up to three children ages 15 and under with you in one car.
Beginning in January 2017, some galleries at the Getty Villa will be closed as we reinstall the collection. Part of the Outer Peristyle will also be closed for maintenance. See the most current information to plan your visit.

They will help you find the fun-filled Family Forum or the Outer Peristyle, with its 220-foot long reflecting pool and illusionistic wall paintings sprinkled with fanciful depictions of birds, lizards, and other creatures.
Eats and Treats
The Cafe offers a "bambino" menu for children featuring organic, locally grown produce where possible. Families are also welcome to bring lunch and enjoy a picnic in the Villa's public seating areas.
