Reviews of Watts Towers of Simon Rodia State Historic Park
"Took some friends to see this historic art work and center. I have yours there back in the mid to late 1900's"
"Among South LA’s most famous and beloved of landmarks! The Watts Towers are shown in Los Angeles publications on art, engineering and tourism. I’d consider adding the Watts Towers to my regular tour route, if only it were closer together with the usual stops for time conscious travelers. Otherwise I’ll still offer to take private group tours here, if it fits within their itinerary. Guided tours may arranged with staff to get a better understanding of the art with a close up perspective! The work will amaze onlookers with the avant-garde craftsmanship of Simon Rodea. Someone who was very creative, inspiring the local community to set up shop at the park, helping with the preservation of the works of art and to foster the artistic endeavors of Angelenos!"
"It's still closed not open yet however it does not stop ne from visiting."
"The iconic designation of the Watts community. These photos are from the recently completed restoration of some of the towers."
"The towers are covered and have major maintenance. Even the site is closed but for that small site you can check them out from the outside, it’s of course worth to visit and read all the history of this building there, yes that’s part of history something between architecture and sculpture. Anyway I and my son enjoy visiting the place, don’t forget to visit the small garden and real size Simon Rodia statue."
