Ticket prices going up at La Brea Tar Pits, NHM and Page Museum after vote by LA County supervisors

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Ticket prices are going up at some of the Southland's most popular museums.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board voted to raise admission prices at the Natural History Museum and at the George C. Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits.

Starting in July, adult general admission tickets will jump from $15 per person to $18.

The added revenue will bring in about a $1 million to help close the museum administration's operating deficit.
