How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A domed hilltop observatory in Galileo Park with sweeping views over Los Santos.
The real place
Griffith Observatory opened in 1935 on Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park and is a free public science centre. The game copies its Art Deco domes and terraces almost exactly.
Visiting
Entry to the building is free, but it is closed on Mondays and parking fills quickly at sunset. The DASH Observatory bus from Vermont/Sunset station is an easier option.
