Eligibility: L.A. County residents (weekday-after-3pm program, ID required); all visitors (second Tuesday); ages 17 and under always free. General admission galleries. Skipping the ticket window here saves $30 adult (non-L.A. County resident) per adult.
Worth knowing: LACMA's resident discount is a daily weekday-afternoon window (after 3pm), not a single designated 'free day' — on top of that there's also a separate second-Tuesday free day open to everyone, county resident or not.
Another way in free: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) participates in Bank of America's Museums on Us — cardholders get free general admission on the first full weekend of every month.
California Science Center (always free) · Griffith Observatory (always free) · Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (no regular free day) · Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) (weekdays 3pm–5pm) · The Broad (always free) · The Getty Center (always free) — or see the full free museum days in Los Angeles guide.
