THIS VIRTUAL CAN ONLY BE COMPLETED 9 AM TO 5 PM ON BUSINESS DAYS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
LA City Hall's free observation deck has some of the best views in the city! The observation deck is my favorite place in Los Angeles and a true hidden gem. Check it out to complete this virtual cache!
To get to the City Hall observation deck, enter off of Main street. Tell the security desk that you want to go to the observation deck and they will give you a visitor's sticker. Then, take the elevator to the 22nd floor (the highest the elevator will go). Then, get off and take the second set of elevators to the 26th floor (the highest floor), and walk up the stairs and then outside. City Hall is open to the public for free from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays.
There are two requirements to log this cache, but it's pretty flexible, and just meant to prove that you actually got up there for the purpose of this cache:
1. Find an informational plaque at the observation deck on any side (only need to pick one side), message me which building #1 refers to (and the associated year next to it)
2. Post a photo of yourself or your signature item to the cache page from your favorite side of the observation deck.
This cache is a difficulty 4 to reflect the complexity of making it to the top of City Hall and sporadic closures, but anyone is welcome to visit the incredible building for free. Make sure to stop at the rotunda on the third floor as well!
