Watts Towers Arts Center Campus

From the sidewalk, the spires read like drawing in the sky. Inside the gates, the scale changes: Simon Rodia spent 33 years building Nuestro Pueblo from steel, mortar, tile, shell, glass, and found objects, turning repeated handwork into one of Los Angeles’ defining environments. The Arts Center campus keeps that making story connected to Watts rather than treating the towers as an isolated monument.The campus reopened July 8, 2026 while renovation work continues. Entry inside the towers is available only on a roughly 30-minute guided tour, currently offered Thursday through Saturday at set times, first-come, with cash or check; rain cancels tours. Call 213-847-4646 to confirm on wet days, use the official campus parking entrance at 10624 Graham Avenue, follow staff directions, and never enter the gates without a guide. This free Pass does not include admission or guarantee a tour, and there is no Drop. More
