Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Segway tour at La Brea Tar Pits?

A: Yes, participants need to be at least 12 years old to join the Segway tour. However, they also need to weigh between 100 and 250 lbs for safety reasons. If you’re thinking of gifting this to a younger person, you might want to check if they meet the weight requirement too!

Q: What do you wear for the Segway tour? Any special gear needed?

A: You don’t need special gear for the tour, but I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. The safety equipment, including helmets, is provided. Just make sure to dress for the weather since you’ll be outside for a while!

Q: How long is the Segway orientation? Is it hard to ride?

A: The Segway orientation lasts about 30 minutes, and it’s super easy to pick up! Most people get the hang of it pretty quickly, and the guides are really helpful. If you can balance, you can ride it!

I’m looking to surprise my husband with something different for his birthday, and I thought the Segway tour at La Brea Tar Pits could be fun! He loves history and the outdoors. Has anyone done this? What was it like? It’s $0.00 but I’m curious if it’s worth it!

Anyone know if the La Brea Tar Pits Segway Tour is good for older adults?

My parents are visiting, and they’ve never done a Segway tour. They’re both in decent shape, but I want to make sure it’s not too strenuous. Is this a good option for them?
