[@TheDailyWoo]

I appreciate everyone who takes time out of their day to tune into my videos . It really means a lot to me

[@almorgan68]

TheDailyWoo hey Adam you do an awesome job uploading these videos keep up the good work

[@almorgan68]

And a big hello from the UK

[@jonc2276]

TheDailyWoo Adam that was funny with the Dung Beattle. It's like emphasis on dung. Lol dude keep up the good work.

[@mustangcindy1303]

TheDailyWoo love seeing the notification pop up on my phone that you have a new video out. Makes me smile. 😊 Interesting museum and seeing the tar still bubbling up in that tar pit after all these thousands of years.

[@brg9085]

Just thank you so much for the work you do. Love getting your notifications

[@esthergarcia1373]

Enjoyed the La Brea Tar pits tour. I remember going on tour with our elementary school when they would take us on field trips. I guess our school got special permission to do that. This was in 1962 or 1963. Anyway, it was nice touring it again after so many years for me personally. We appreciate all your efforts and hard work that you do putting all this information together. ❤️🙏🏻

[@UlyssesM]

How difficult was it then? Was the tar thicker and higher?

[@esthergarcia1373]

@@UlyssesM Don’t know if the tar was thicker or higher but I do remember walking into one of the older apartment buildings near the tar pits to visit a friend who lived there and tar was found oozing out of a tar paved street in front of the building in the 1980’s which I found odd. Then a series called “La Brea”. comes out on TV during the COVID pandemic..very strange things are still happening under our feet! 🧐😁

[@kimmyymmik]

I went to these tar pits in 2013 and I’m so glad you made a video about it I wanna go again

[@ExplorationUnknown]

Man I have such a great fascination with the Tar Pits. Loving the content man anything dinosaurs is a winner with me.

[@TMIDiva]

No dinosaurs. Just Prehistoric animals.

[@redwhitentrue]

Too bad the SUV's and cow farts killed these animals all those thousands of years ago.

[@donniebrown2896]

@@redwhitentrue that's one reason, there's also a "movement" to stop farming broccoli and cabbage along with banning Taco Bell.

@frankos rooni climate change? We've had that for a long time, it's called summer, fall, winter, and spring.

[@bradleygood6871]

Very interesting. I have heard the La brea tar pits mentioned many times over the years but had no idea what they were like. A very cool place and video. Thank you for sharing.

[@GregsVlog]

Glad you "stuck" around to check out the museum. Pretty neat.

[@michaeldudley2908]

I used to go on field trips in elementary school to this museum, thanks for letting me vicariously relive my youth. I think they shot scenes from Encino Man there too.

[@petesenrab5691]

Thanks Adam, safe travels!

[@jenniferthrasher8560]

Thanks again for this video! I loved seeing the active pits bubbling. I didn't know it was still so active!😮❤

[@richschindler8731]

I drove by this site many times before I stopped by and saw what it was all about. It was very interesting. Now it’s been many years since I’ve been in LA. I’d like to see it again one day. Great video. Thanks.

[@redapron5795]

Watching you play with all the toys in the gift shop makes me happy!

[@Tracer2376]

Damn, I remember going there in the 6th grade back in the day. It has changed so much. I might visit it again or at least before I pass away.

[@TampaJay]

I have seen these tar pits in a lot of Hollywood movies, but I never really knew much about what they were or why they existed. That was an awesome video. I have learned something very new today.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

I have always loved the tar pits, and so glad you went there again. All through that area has tar bubbling from peoples front yards.

[@jennielauber8308]

Mount Shasta is a volcanic mountain in California. I'm guessing that Sloth is named after that.

[@patigiddens1314]

Cool place I'd love to see this!! Awesome !!!! Thanks Adam!!!!

[@AliciapTexas]

Another interesting place! Thank you for going to these places.

[@loridee1182]

Amazing place, always a pleasure to watch. Thanks Adam

[@bonniemoreland8558]

[@AdventureandDonuts]

I loved going to the Tar Pits and the museum, I'll have to go back again, I didn't realize how large the property was!

[@ashleyhyatt6319]

It's changed a lot since I was there about 40 years ago.

[@UlyssesM]

How so? I'm interested

[@cola81374]

Thanks Again Adam for a Cool Video,very interesting.

[@Dave_Boyer]

I got to finally go there last February, after wanting to go there since I was a kid. It’s neat how it’s surrounded by modern buildings. The fossils they’ve removed over the years is amazing. Awesome!! It’s was Adam that made me get on a plane and venture to California.

[@Ashley-kd2su]

The daily woo notification makes me happy. Like opening presents on christmas day

[@Figgatella]

Loved this Adam. Very interesting! I heard about them but didn’t know they were in LA. Thank you sir for taking us along.

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Being a disabled Veteran and on a budget, I appreciate your channel and what you do for those of us who can't travel.

[@SuperEnthused]

Those air pockets bubbling are so cool..... ancient reminders in a modern, hustling world. Also reminds me of the bog of eternal stench!

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Adam, I really enjoy your LA vlogs. Glad you went to the La Brea Tarpits. My friend and i went there twice years ago. Last Saturday, we were at LACMA. We can smell the hot tarpit from LACMA! Have another great day!

[@lauraodle5816]

I have waited FOREVER to see the Tar Pits!! Loved everything about this video. Thank you, Adam. 🤗👍👏❤❤❤

[@Smilo-the-Sabertooth]

I've been to the La Brea Tar Pits before and it is awesome just walking around and checking in out. And I really blend in at the gift shop. Nice video. 👍👍👍

Morning Adam, I haven't been to the tar pits since the early 60's, it was always one of my favorite places when I was a kid. Have a great day!

Good morning Adam, so good to see you and we appreciate your time in bringing us this great video. Looking forward to your next live stream and just hangin out with you. Enjoy your day!! 💜💕💜💕

[@melindagilliland7613]

Went to the LeBrea tar pits in the early '90's. It was the last day of our Hollywood vacation. Upon returning home I lost my purse with the camera in It. It had, you guessed it, my undeveloped roll of film of the tar pits. I did manage to keep a couple of post cards. Loved seeing your vlog. It was almost just like being there. Thanks.

[@kenbush3434]

You mean a lot to us as well! Keep up the awesome work!

[@franklinholt9520]

Excellent vlog Adam. The La Brea tar pits is on my "bucket list" .Keep the good stuff coming.

[@julianacromey7151]

I must say, Very Jurassic park-esk kinda place lol. So awesome Adam thanks for sharing!

[@DEREKinNYC]

I had missed going to this museum on my visit to Los Angeles. This video was almost like I was there. Thanks for a great tour.

[@SouthernExploring]

I've always been facinated with the tar pits. I remember reading about them as a kid and I've seen them in a few games, L.A. Noir for one. Thanks for taking us there Adam!

[@trollinda]

Awesome video, Adam! When my parents were first married in the 1950's, they lived just a few blocks from the tar pits. It was nothing than a fence around the pits and trees and grass. My mom said she would walk to the corner drugstore, buy a paperback book and sit in the park and read.

[@duanewilliams7353]

Had heard of the La Brea Tar Pits, and always wanted to go see them, but never had time in LA!! I';m grateful for your showing us this Wonder Of The World. Over the centuries I'd bed many many critters ambled into the tar, and couldn't get out!!! The more they struggled, the deeper they sunk!!

[@retrob9346]

Keep up the great work Adam

[@Ezra91020]

Thank you for reading the information on the various animals and pits. So cool.

[@crisrodeiguez]

The day is so much brighter when you start your day with TheDailyWoo!!!

[@elizabethharris6050]

Nice coverage of today's La Brea tar pits. I grew up near there, and remember my mom taking me to see the then open ponds of goo, one of which had a scary statue of a saber-tooth cat coming up out of it. The arboretum and museum are gorgeous...am so glad the powers that be didn't make a tarpit Disneyland out of this grand leftover of our bygone geologic past. Thanks for your good work, dear Woo.

[@RebelRed]

When I was a kid I had a real irrational fear of quick sand, like it was something I'd spend time worrying about - thank gaaaad I didn't know tar pits were a thing! Great video as always Sir Woo-a lot. 👏🏻

WOW. My dad took me there when I was a kid. 1972. I somewhat remember the statues in the water but I do not remember being able to get that close. Been watching your videos for a very long time. Now that you are doing a lot of the areas that I grew up in, I have to admit it's been fun to watch how much has changed over the years. Keep up the good work. I hope someday our paths will cross.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

*FANTASTIC!!!* This is a place I had hoped you would take us one day!!! Thank you so much. I popped a wheelie in my wheelchair for this vlog! So interesting, and I love that they are still finding fossils and bones to this day. I would spend hours watching them work. Thank you so much for this wonderful day!

[@TheDailyWoo]

It's a very fascinating place

[@sbeckbeck33]

I enjoy all your videos. Thank you for taking me back to the La Brea tar pits, I was lucky enough to visit there several times with my elementary school class. Your personality draws me to your videos, but I am happy to revisit many places I have been to and see lots of new attractions, (many I never knew about before seeing your video) lots of which I now hope to be able to visit myself in the future.Thank you, you are truly appreciated!

I went here 3 years ago while staying in L.A. for awhile. It was worth every penny! There was a student discount available and another one too so look into it. It was a truly amazing experience. I can't wait to go back! Parts of My Girl 2 were filmed here too :)

[@dovegrey1]

Yet another stellar post! Have yet to visit the museum...last time I went to The Tar Pits was in the late 90's, the museum might have been under construction at the time. Did not know Hancock Park was named after Allan Hancock...went to Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria many years ago, many places in the city have Hancock history to them. Nice to see a connection to L.A.

[@johnpangan1715]

Thank you! I have always wanted to visit the tar pits.

[@TheDailyWoo]

[@becky9195]

[@ritamariekelley4077]

Nice tour, thank you. I just learned, today, that the pronghorn antelope and the largest bird, the California condor are anachronistic animals, that they have survived since the Pleistocene Epoch.

[@spencer674]

Nice one, Adam. I have always been intrigued to know what that place was like?, and now I know and it's awesome!!! Thanks, woo'ster.

Great video, when I come down to visit L.A. I definitely will visit the La Brea Tar Pits museum

[@denisemarle4141]

I've been to LA a few times and wanted to visit the Tar Pits but it's one place I missed. I'm sure it's been upgraded from the 80's and 90's, so this was very interesting. Thanks Adam.

[@meganpeveich8407]

I visited this place last summer. Very unique and interesting!

[@KateriBurnett]

Well I learned a lot today, pretty interesting. I didn’t know the tar pits where in La🤔 you learn something everyday. Thanks Adam

[@llantup]

This was fascinating to watch! I first heard about the La Brea tar pits when I was young, and always wanted to visit.

[@fixpacifica]

I went there when I was a little kid. I remember being disappointed that they didn't have live mammoths and saber-tooth tigers.

[@catcook3324]

When I was there in 1987 it was completely different--much smaller. There was only one big outdoor swamp/tarpit and the museum was small, without all the inter- active stuff and no tropical garden atrium (not sure why that was there unless it had tarpits in it.) One thing that was the same was that the mowed grass in the park had tar bubbling out in lots of little spots.

[@stevechandler6057]
