About this experience
We provide an introduction to the art world that emphasizes how to look at and what to look for when viewing any work of art. By utilizing visual and tactile aids, we involve the child in the techniques, process and artists’ motivations. At the same time, we ensure the adult chaperones (over 18) are entertained as well. After the tour, you'll be amazed by the shared discoveries you have experienced together. In addition, each child is presented with an “Art Appreciation Badge”. We do not recommend this tour for children under 6 unless they are in a stroller. Want a time that's not posted? Just ask! Have a group larger than 6? We can accommodate up to 35 people. Prices upon request.

Great family trip to The Getty
Ellen was informative and fun. She explained so much about the artists, their style and evolutions, and the history of The Getty. We enjoyed a wonderful time!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! Your girls were insightful and fun! You all were a delight to tour!

Kids tour at the Getty
Sacha gave us an excellent tour at the Getty. It was designed to interest my 8 year old granddaughter and she loved it. At the end of the tour she was very interested in Impressionist art Thank you Sacha for a super day
Response from the operator: It was a real pleasure to tour your group and Eloise was great. I look forward to touring you again when the Getty Villa reopens!

A great time at the Getty
I have a pretty simple rating system: Did you enjoy it? And would you do it again? In this case, the answer is yes. Ellen was great. Her knowledge—of the museum’s history and the artwork—made the experience much richer than it would have otherwise been for me and my fifth grade son.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Mark! You and Lars were so great to tour! Insightful questions, wonderful sense of humor and all-around fun to be with. The time flew by! I look forward to another visit and meeting the rest of your family on another tour. Happy Holidays!

Great tour for kids!
My young nephews are not really museum fans however on this particular tour, they couldn't hold back their excitement. They loved the fun quizzes and enjoyed every bit of the tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your wonderful review. I had as much fun as they did!

Getty Tour for Kids
I highly recommend Quick Cultures LA for a tour of the Getty with kids. Ellen, our docent, was very skilled at interacting with three different ages categories. She made learning fun and brought glossy photos to highlight a specific style of each artists’ paintings. In addition, she would play games and ask them fun questions to understand all the different types of art. She made it informative, fun , and they loved her surprise at the end of the tour~
Response from the operator: Thank you! It was a pleasure and fun to tour 3 generations --- grandmom, mother and the three children. Come back again soon!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Angeles.
How much does Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12 cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Angeles usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12 take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Angeles is not rushed.
Is Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Angeles, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Angeles can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Angeles and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Getty Center 1-Hour Tour for Kids Ages 6-12 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Angeles within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Los Angeles?
+
Los Angeles rewards travellers who cluster their bookings by geography rather than by theme. Studio tours and Hollywood walks sit inland, the Malibu and Santa Monica coast runs west, and Griffith Observatory and the canyon hikes work best at dawn or dusk. We weight transport clarity in the ranking here: whether pickup is included changes an LA day more than the tour itself. On Outty we rank every Los Angeles experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hollywood Sign 2.5-Hour Tour with Comedians and Their Dogs, Los Angeles Hollywood Sign Hike: Front, Behind, and Expert Guide, Los Angeles Original 90-Minute Walking Tour to The Hollywood Sign. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Los Angeles?
+
March to May and September to November, for clear air and open canyon roads. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Los Angeles?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
